That was the worst NFL camera work I've ever seen. How do you miss a standard throw to the end zone?

15 minutes ago Mitch probably thought he had a shot at getting in the game

By the Eagles-Pats SB standard, he maintained control through the catch.
So by rule if you’ve made a catch, you are a runner and no longer defenseless. So even if that hit had been directly helmet to helmet, it would not be a foul IF you think that’s a catch.

That doesn’t make sense to me. Seems like he didn’t have enough time to protect himself from a high hit, so by definition he didn’t have the ball long enough to have caught it

Oh, I thought you were referencing the ball moving a little on his 2nd step. I see what you're saying, but you really don't think the receiver could have made a dive to the turf? He wanted to gain more yards, I think.

where I was last at
watching the 4 Fox guys talk at the half about the schedule juggling and how its necessary until "we get covid under control" I thought "would it kill these jokers to wear masks?

Huh? Nobody finds a block in the back by the kicking team to be an odd foul?

Don’t like the look of the referee throwing the flag 30 feet into the air. He looked angry.

This is the first Brady game I’ve been able to bring myself to watch and I hate it

Is there logic to why two unequal penalties don't net out with respect to yardage?
Different enforcement spots make it impossible. If the penalty by the offense is 10 yards from the previous spot, and the penalty by the defense is 15 yards from the end of the play, how do you adjudicate the difference?

What did Tommy say???

“Maybe think about blocking someone instead of getting in altercations”
