I think it is a fumble, but it may stay with the call on the field. His hand was coming forward, but I think he was stripped prior.

I know nobody cares but if 1030 on a Monday isn’t the time for navel gazing then I don’t know what is, which is to say that my fantasy team would have really appreciated that strip sack TD.

OK, looks like a good call by a tiny margin, but probably luck as it's doubtful the official actually had a clear-enough view to make the call. CFB Rules in the house?

Arians is trying to make Brady fight like a one punch knockout boxer whereas Brady was always at his best jabbing a lot to set up his offense.

If your o line is shite, why do you insist on 7 step drops and 25 yard deep routes?
Brady exchanged a good O-line and no weapons for weapons, no O-line and an offensive game plan that depends on him waiting for routes to develop

The whistle doesn’t preclude a recovery, otherwise any running play whistler down by contact couldn’t be overturned as a recovered fumble.

The whistle precludes any advance of the ball from the point of recovery.
Don’t think so. The recovery would have to be near simultaneous with the whistle.

edit: looking into this, I’d need to watch the play again and want clarity from an official. How long after a whistle can a clear recovery occur

Looks like Brady is going to get pummeled in this 4th quarter.

Now that was a really good defensive series. Can't way for the Bucs' offense to run for two yards, throw a 6 yard out into coverage (incomplete), and then launch it 40 yards down the field.

Except that the Patriots offense worked best on his quick reads and short routes
Seemed like they were cooking pretty good in the 1st half on that exact thing, which not coincidentally is how McD has always attacked defenses with rushers like Donald.

So the Rams declined the penalty so that the Bucs wouldn't get another shot at a third-down play. But on 4th and 2, if the Rams had jumped offsides on the punt play, it would really screw them for declining

Wait so he got credit for a pass completion to himself, and then another pass completion after that, because the Rams declined the penalty? WTF?
