Did Brady Tuck the ball or was it a Fumble?

The patriots were so lucky.  any knowledgeable football fan whos watches that play fulll speed knows it was a sack and a fumble, how the refs got it wrong I'll never know.  Im from St. Louis, and I feel robbed beacuse the raiders are my team, and my two favorite teams would have played in the SB that year.  \nI'll go one further and say that if that game goes differently, the pats would have never won a S.B. they won so many games in the 4th quarter, or after they were loosing all game.  Most teams that played the pats lost the games before they played them.  They would get too hyped up or physyced up the whole week before, and would blow the game when most teams had a shot to win.  Coaches and players would be scared of the pats, and consequently the would micromanage the game to the point where they would throw the game away in the 4th quarter.  The  colts have been a better team through those years, but could'nt get it done.  The pats are not as good as it seems.  I mean come on, there really werent any great players on those teams, and besides Lucky azz Brady, probably none of them will get in the hall of fame.  Bilicheck is the only one who deserves any respect, and besides that the pats are not half as good as people thought they were.  F-brady, F-the pats.

Tom Brady made the biggest mistake of his career with that INT that Bailey almost took all the way. And I have to say, that was a great effort by the Patriot tight end.

He did get the touchdown, the front of the ball went across the line before he hit the ground.  As Ben went down, the ball went back across the other side of the line.  I don't think the ref would have been fooled by him putting it across after the play was over.  Doesn't really matter I guess, the game is over, it's not gonna get changed now.

What must have happened is I must have hit my head on the boards, because last time I checked I was playing hockey and there is no 25 yard line.\n\nHuh?\n\nIn hockey if the ref's making gestures towards his feet it's probably a tripping call.\n\nI have no idea what it is in football.

i think the rules that protect QBs make some of the defenders a bit shy about teeing off on them when they run.  Urlacher was clearly faked out tho - first down!

I JUST THINK HE GAVE UP. HE NEW IT WAS ONLY SECONDS AWAY FROM THE GAME BEING OVER.IT WAS A VERY GOOD GAME. TEXAS DEFENSE WAS PRETTY GOOD. HOWEVER THEIR GOAL KICK WAS OFF!! OR MAYBE IT WAS RIGGED, I DONT KNOW  BUT THAT PLAY THAT THEY WER TRYING TO COUNT IS AS INCOMPLETE I THINK IT WAS A FUMBLE HE HELD IT FOR TWO SECONDS. HEY BUT WHO KNOWS, ONLY THEM...

I think the Bears are. The Pats are always so full of themselves. Grossman had two bad games, now he is in line for another 4 TD performance. The run game is coming on strong. The Pats defense is without 7 starters, or was last week. Brady is going to be eating mud all day, similar to when the Jets put pressure two weeks ago. Only, the Bears pressure is coming faster and stronger. I would not be suprised if Brady walks off the field crying because the Bears are going to tear him apart. Urlacher is going to steamroll him. Brady is the real overrated player.

He doesn't give his best effort on every play. This is easily misdiagnosed sometimes, because of the scheme, and the play. It usually refers to defensive lineman. Sometimes they are supposed to rush the Qb and sometimes they have to stay put to cover the run, so it looks as if they are not giving the best effort.

F. Not only worse than last season, but I can see the Pats having an 8-8 year and missing the playoffs.  Brady is an icon, but he can only make so much out of nothing.  The Pats continue to let their talent walk away, and no one has been able to argue to this point... but it's a war of attrition, and I can't see the Pats continuing to win it this year.  Who has to leave for them to see the light?  Bruschi?  For their own sake, I hope its McGinest...

Ok, this is pathetic, but I actually cried when I knew that the game was over. \n\nFrom the start, I knew something wasn't right with the offense. I love Peyton Manning. He's my player through and through, but tonight he just wasn't with his normal rhythm. It was like something else was on his mind. And the defense, that damn defense. I could have jumped into the screen when I saw them let Julius Jones get through so many times. I call it Tiki Barber Syndrome. If you know that's who the ball is going to go to: BLOCK HIM. PUT MEN ON HIM DAMNIT. It's not that complicated!\n\nI think I saw Peyton even shed a tear at the end. He looked pissed. This better wake them up. I think people get comfortable knowing that they are the only undefeated team in the NFL, and as much as it breaks my heart that they lost, I think that this will be better for them in the long run because it'll give them a wake up call. Don't play like sh*t anymore. Shape up your defense. Keep pressure off of Peyton. Catch the damn ball if it's thrown to you.\n\nNext week better be a win. I don't think that we won't make the playoffs. I'd rather be 12-1, go into the playoffs, kick some butt, and win the Superbowl once and for all than go 13-0 and choke.

I didn't see it, but I can believe it.  His team had a terrible day, especially the WR's.  His passing is not the best.  I'd suspend him for 2 games (1 for each flip) and see what Scuab (spelling) can do.\nThese days, it couldn't hurt.  Look what Romo has done for the Cowboys!

During practice... yes.\n\nhttp://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/stories/2002-07-19-cover.htm

The rule book is unclear - if the ball in your controll and breakes the plan of the goal line it is a touchdown! I believe its different than a pass completion in the open field. The rule will be looked at in the off seasone - like the tuck rule!\n\nJoe

it wasn't a punt return.\n\nit wasn't a kick return.\n\nhe ran back a missed field goal. there are no yardage stats for that.\n-nny

You mean ROETHLISBERGER.\n\nWell the called it a touchdown and when they reviewed it there was not a good camera angle to tell wether any part of the ball crossed the goalline so they could not overturn it. It was the refrees fault who called it a touchdown in the first place.

Not even Jerome Bettis's fumble cause hes basically an old dieing man (in the football world) can save this lackluster performance.  With Manning not getting it done, \n\nI think the dungy death of his son dominates this loss for sure.\n\nI'm not a fan of that team so I don't know, but if it was my team I would sorta understand and expect the team to overcome.\n\nYou see like Brett Farves mom dies and the day after he throws for like, 300 or 400 yards, and yeah its different cause shes the generation before, but still,\n\nchampions win.\n\nI think this is not at all the end of the manning era.

Yep, I saw the ball touch the stripe before getting pushed back.   Was a good call.  (and I agree not all of the calls were good ones that day!)
