Quote:The officials followed the rule book exactly at the end of last night's game...  Pretty boy Brady underthrew that pass well so that Gronk could have ever gotten there. He was moving towards the rear of the end zone when he got pushed and it would have been a PI if the ball was anywhere close but it wasn't..  No way he could have gotten to the ball at all especially with the other defender who had to dive forward to make the interception...  If the NFL had found that it was wrong, we would have seen apologies but instead they said the ruling was correct..  As for picking up the flag, the back judge himself was questioning his call as the play ended by immediately conferring with the other officials..  He could see it was a poorly thrown ball by pretty boy so he should have waited to toss the flag but that would have ticked off the local crowd making the think it was fixed.... so he threw it when he saw what would have been PI if not for the QB... Oh and no holding because holding can't be called after the throw.... only PI...  You see that all the time too when what looks like PI is not called on any uncatchable balls..
