Refs got it right, the ball wasn't catchable, replay proves it, all these analysts are wrong

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
If you watch the replace the TE was fading back as the corner that picked off the pass was moving up to where the ball was thrown. At that point, there was still no pass interference. From that point on there was no way the TE was going to catch it because his momentum was taking him away.

DUDE, the ball was in the air and contact was occuring. You can call interference, defensive holding, or illegal contact downfield.

Y'all acting like y'all just seeing this type of play the first time ever. Y'all know the calls that come with the ball in the air and contact with a receiver. come on now

The ref threw the flag and got punked by other refs it seems.

Nope. When the ball is in the air it can only be called pass interference. Defense holding or Illegal contact are only called when the QB still has the ball in his hands. Pass interference is the only one that can get overturned by an uncatchable ball. Kuechly ain't touch Gronk until the ball is in the air. The ball wasn't catchable by Gronk according to the known rules of this universe.

I heard Boomer Esiason going nuts about the call until I saw it on TV. If it happened the other way around they wouldn't say a peep about it. They'd call it a savvy play.

even without the interference that shyt was going to get picked because it was short... the same dude who intercepted it still wouldve got to the ball first.

get over it
I hate the Patriots but you can't make that assumption as a referee.
