Anyone have video or info on Williams Personal foul?

Well, verbally abusing a ref isn't a personal foul. That would have been called unsportsmanlike conduct. I thought the way it was explained was that they were both live ball fouls, so NE could only accept one, so they accepted the 15 yd one.

The holding call was obvious there. He got beat on a stunt.
I was hoping someone would explain what happened here, it seemed that Williams was trying to block two guys there. He was fully engaged with one and and tried to grab the other with one hand.

I heard that he picked up the flag (holding call) and launched it.

If true, that was completely stupid. The holding penalty would have made it 2nd and 20 which is not good. However, he made the situation even worse with the dead ball penalty that made it 3rd and 25 instead. He cost us a down and an extra 5 yards because he didn't crawl back into the huddle and get ready for the next play. Not sure why he was upset with the official because it was an obvious holding penalty. He should be upset with himself for allowing the defensive guy to put him in a position to need to hold. He's lucky that Dak, Ceedee, and Zuerlein bailed him out.

It wasn't blatant or even obvious. The Patriot rusher was just asking for a flag and he got it. Even aromo questioned the call.

Does Romo's circle here convince you it was a hold? LOL.

This is what put us in that 3rd and 25 hole that Dak and CeeDee bailed us out of on the next play.

The 2 Patriots DL essentially ran a pick play, which they had been doing a lot during this game. Williams was slow to react.

Man I remember Bart Scott launching the flag after the Pats scored. Loved it, because they were getting hosed on every call that night and the officials deserved the criticism after that game.

I did hear from one of the Ticket radio guys talking this week that the Personal Foul penalty was from verbally abusing a ref. Like name calling or some such. The league has been cracking down on cursing refs this year. I understand the frustration but that lack of discipline can cost you a game. C-Will has become an embarrassment for this team.
Lol!!! That's funny...an embarrassment? Really??? An embarrassment is a drink driver, a coke head, domestic violence, having a White House, getting massages with happy endings etc!!!!! Being passionate about the game and losing your cool once in a long while when the refs are screwing you, is not an embarrassment.... your post is more embarrassing than C Wills penalty. I guess you've never had one of your employees back....you were that guy???

My reference to Connor Williams being an embarrassment was about him leading the entire league in holding penalties. I don’t have any idea why you turned that into an insult about me and employees and my employment history- something you know absolutely zero about. Your football opinions are welcome- the personal insults aren’t.

Not an insult, just an observation.....a guy get a few holding penalties and argues with a short tempered ref about it and he's an embarrassment.....I don't think so...again, it's an observation and opinion....take it any way you want.

No. Dallas got called for holding and a personal foul. That's 25 yards in total. They were penalized 15 yards to make it 3rd and 25, not 3rd and 35. They got 24 yards in a pass to Lamb.
The tv ref said they couldn't have both.

The New England game was littered with garbage calls/no calls for both teams. But instead of holding them accountable for their performance, we have people more concerned with the ref hearing a bunch of hurt words. This isn't Sunday church. Grown men battling for hours at the point of attack get a little pissy when calls are being blown. The World is getting soft.

He blocked his guy and saw a free rusher that was going to get his qb. So he did what he was suppose to and tried to stop the free rusher.

If this dude was mouthing off and insulting refs he deserves it. Might not agree with refs on their calls, but this type of **** is disrespectful and puts a bullseye on you and your team. Really sick of this dude 52

I agree that mouthing off to refs is stupid and shouldn't be allowed, but I don't like that they're going to be throwing flags for it. Another very subjective rule that has the potential to change games. The less black and white penalties, the better.
