Post-Game Talk: Arizona at PATRIOTS - Had em all the way - Pats 20 Arizona 17 F - Staying Alive!!!!!

[GabeTravels]

Ugh so stupid. I get why it's a penalty... But since they're face to face it shouldn't be illegal.

Nice run by Gunner though!

No, that's been a rule for a few years. You can't go back towards your own goalline and block someone.

Did not know this was the phrasing of the rule. Don't like it, but if that's the official rule, I guess the call makes more sense.

edit: replay shows the Patriot firmly planted himself, didn't change his momentum back towards their goal line, so I'm back to thinking the call was bull.

 

[Smitty93]

wouldnt the key word be “blindside”. He stood his ground and dropped his shoulder

It doesn't technically have to be a "blindside". It's all about moving backwards towards his own goalline.

He didnt go back. He stopped and hit the guy

 

[Gee Wally]

Absolute horse shit call.

 

[DangleCity]

Game changing call.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

League owners vote to eliminate blindside blocks

It isn't blindside. Not even remotely close.

 

[chizzler]

Blandino drinking the Kool Aid.

He stopped and his force was directed backwards. It was an easy call and I know that because I was screaming at my TV for him not to do that before he did. I've seen that same play called a bunch of times on interceptions.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

The NFL is turning into one hell of a shit product. No hitting allowed.

 

[CDJ]

They just f***ed over the Gun Show

How is there a force if he stopped?

 

[CDJ]

I love Damien Harris

Thanks stripes

Its a bad call. That rule was not put in.place for that type of hit

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Thanks stripes

Egregious. NFL actively trying to lose fans. Blindside is one thing, get the call right. That wasn't close.

 

[Midship]

That has to be one of the worst calls I've ever seen

 

[CDJ]

Defense is RALLYING since that goal line stand

 

[CDJ]

Damien <3

 

[CDJ]

Outrageous play call, I’ll take it

 

[McGarnagle]

Imagine if this team didn't lose to Denver and Houston...

 

[GabeTravels]

Go up by two scores here. Even a field goal is valuable.

 

[McGarnagle]

Cam had 10 yards of open field to run, Harry was also wide open. Instead of taking either of those options, Cam motions Harry to go deeper and deeper until he is covered and throws it away

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

The defense is giving us a chance.

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

When two players commit penalties against each other it should just count as a down played. Replaying the down gives the advantage to the offense there
