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

Yep the initial contact was shoulder to shoulder, but the force caused their helmets to connect

 

[9of11]

Gronk will be back....its the Patriots

You know he's going to be back....they willing to take penalty for this season..lose draft pick...you know the norm...cheating...

 

[theebs]

Pats have been holding one of the best defensive lines in the league all game. How many holding calls have they got? Jacksonville looks like the better team, but I don’t know that it matters when you’re playing that team at home.

I bet they don’t get a single one called today.

 

[kevm3]

Jacksonville will constantly be flagged from here on out and the narrative will be 'undisciplined play'.

 

[mahoneybill]

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

Same as you momentum carried him into church

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Both Pats scores come with help from the officials.
- The 4th down play was a blatant illegal pick. Not only did he pick the defender he put his blocked him
- Real questionable PI call down the sideline as well

Hopefully Jags can keep it up in the 2nd half but I wouldn't bet on it.

Jags have been good all year. Most keep thinking it's the Jags of old

That’s ridiculous, he’s as wrong as much as he is right. The same people who think he’s right all the time are also the ones who think he never choked or made mistakes in big games.

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.

You mean like how Tim Donahy, an nba ref, wrote a book on that exact subject?

 

[Mannix]

The ref threw that PI flag like it came out of the stands by a Pats fan....he could not wait to release it. Anyone else notice that?

 

[BRoni]

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

It is what it is in today’s NFL with the CTE controversy. Gronk only has a few brain cells as it is too.

 

[Clove]

Jacksonville 14, the refs 7.

 

[camelboy]

Seemed smart. Momentum is tough to stop when it gets going and since New England only had one timeout and they had the ball to start the third quarter I don’t blame them for taking the knee

If they lose late by a field goal or something then it will be a big talking point

I want to see Garrett do the same just to see how this board reacts .. not looking for many comments like what you said here ..

 

[9of11]

Gronk shouldnt be back in the game...he got a concussion....when your wobbling like that...its a concussion....If he comes back...NFL should look into it...

 

[joseephuss]

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

The Jags scored their second TD in the last 15 minutes. There was 7:06 left in the half when they scored their TD.

 

[atlantacowboy]

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

Church lead with his head. Even Morrone said it was a good call in his halftime interview. Gronk had no time to brace himself for that hit let alone make a conscious choice to lower his head in hopes of drawing a penalty ..............and concussion.. Thats a ridiculous opinion. It was a no -brainer call.. Next year, they will be ejecting players for those hits.

 

[Nova]

PI was BS.

That was stellar CB play. You're allowed to squeeze guys to the sideline.

Cooks initiated just as much contact and had no play on the ball.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Both teams had first and goal inside the 5...both teams ran the ball...both teams scored...and NEITHER back is as good as Zeke.

Any questions, Garrett/Linehan?

Well you have to have a real HC for that

 

[LocimusPrime]

Doesn't matter what he leads with. Can't hit him in the neck and head area. Dem da rules

lmao have a beer dude, geez.
