Jaguars at Patriots: AFC Championship

[sdfidaho]

Looks like he led with his shoulder, his head hit Gronk because Gronk came down into him. What did you see?

They’re going to call that every time

A hit to the head. Whether it's helmet or shoulder it's still a flag..... go round the waist or hit the rib cage.....

Looks like a great place to hit Gronk with your SHOULDERS, right in the head. Can't have NE running a muck.

Okay did Garrett take over this team in the last 15 minutes

 

[alphaxg1]

refs laughing, yucking it up with pats players.

Yep, I saw that too.

 

[Alweezy]

I can fault Church for that hit. Your job is to dislodge the ball. He has no time to drop his shoulder. Welcome to the new rules.

The New NFL

You can't hit a guy.
And at at the same time you can't lay off a guy,

otherwise you get the Minnesota Hail Mary for trying to avoid the hit and your season is over.

 

[mardwin]

No issue with the personal foul but the interference was dubious.

 

[BRoni]

Surprised Jax didn’t try to get into FG range.

 

[Clove]

It doesn't matter. Church initiated the contact so it doesn't matter what he intended. There are no exceptions for head to head contact hits.

So all the receiver has to do is duck his head and it's head to head every time, right?

Jaguars coach just confirmed that church's hit was a good call.

Yup

Dang, coach of Jacksonville said they are going to make adjustments at half time.......hmmm wish we had that

 

[Floatyworm]

He went right for the head. Obvious call.

Watch the replay...he led w/ his shoulder. Regardless...I'll take the penalty...if it means taking out the Gronk.

 

[Jake]

I'm amazed anyone watches a sport they think fixes games by using the refs to manipulate outcomes. That would be stupid.

Unless, of course, they don't really believe the things they say.

 

[9of11]

BS score by NE...Brady is not GOD Romo! the Gronk penalty was not one....it was a BS call...shoulder to shoulder and the helmet hit....cant stop that....the PI also was BS call....

 

[camelboy]

55 seconds with 2 TOs and they take a knee ... that's loser mentality

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Dang, coach of Jacksonville said they are going to make adjustments at half time.......hmmm wish we had that

We need to hire an adjustment coach.

 

[lurkercowboy]

That delay of game call was huge. It is a game of inches and fractions of seconds

 

[Clove]

I see this all the time in games. Defender is going in for a shoulder tackle, the WR ducks his head, it becomes a head to head hit. Yeah, flag football.

 

[mrmojo]

Gronk will be back....its the Patriots

 

[alphaxg1]

Jaguars coach just confirmed that church's hit was a good call.

Yup

He also questioned the PI call.
