Not what the flag was for
First, the Past and G-men put on an ugly football game. The Pats did less to lose that game and won.
Second, its clear that the NFL has no idea how to handle the new rule that challenges that coaches can appeal PI (or no PI) calls. The Pats DB had Tate's arm pinned well before the ball was thrown and the NFL offices in NYC still woudl not overrule the on-field officials. I saw a report that only 7 of 40 disputed PI calls have been overturned so far this season.
It is evidence that pass interference reviews will probably be reserved for plays as as blatant as the Rams/New Orleans debacle, but that is not the issue. The issue is the refs' interpretation was not communicated to the coaches, either directly or indirectly.First, the Past and G-men put on an ugly football game.

There has been a push from some in the NFL to eliminate Thursday night games because a majority of them end up being sloppy due to the short week. The 40 mph winds also didn't help last nights game. They are never going to eliminate the Thursday games because it would be a loss of revenue.First, the Past and G-men put on an ugly football game. The Pats did less to lose that game and won.

Because the rule was put in specifically to address a blatant, game changing call like the one in the NO / LA game. I think the league has made it clear that the rule isn't there to make every contested ball into PI. Nor should it.First, the Past and G-men put on an ugly football game.

Which is fine in theory. But if that's the case then coaches should have been told that the only time it'll be changed is blatant game changing playsBecause the rule was put in specifically to address a blatant, game changing call like the one in the NO / LA game.

this is the way all reviews should work.Which is fine in theory. But if that's the case then coaches should have been told that the only time it'll be changed is blatant game changing plays
