Not if the rules states each team gets 1 extra challenge. However, the extra challenge is specifically for a missed penalty.

That TD would have overturned before the red flag hit the ground

I think there should be a ref in the booth who can watch replays and just tell them when they absolutely blew a call.

Wow, Brady gracious in defeat?! Hath mine eyes deceived me?

He wasn’t afraid to play a rookie because he had no other option once his backup QB went out for the game and his starting QB was back in Boston with a bad ankle.

Based on how conservative the Patriots offense was, Belichick obviously didn’t trust his rookie QB to do more than hand the ball off. Because if he actually trusted his rookie QB, he would have let him open up the offense by passing the ball more often.

Under the same set of circumstances, MCDaniel will play Thompson if Bridgewater goes out with an injury next week because like Belichick today, his third string QB will be his only option in that case.

Did he not start Mac Jones as a rookie?

Did he not start Mac Jones as a rookie?

Exactly what does that have to do with him playing a third string QB yesterday when he had no other option.
Tua, Herbert, Burrow, and many other first round draft picks started as rookies after they were drafted in the first round. Jones was the Patriots first round pick. So him starting was no surprise.

What is it that you don’t understand about why Belichick had to play his third string QB yesterday only after losing his first two QB’s were injured and unable to play?

A lot of rookie QB’s drafted in the first round start in their first year in the NFL in this day and age. In fact it is rare when a highly drafted QB doesn’t start as a rookie unless he happens to be playing behind a proven veteran QB he was drafted to replace in the future.

I have no doubt McDaniel would put in Thompson if Bridgewater is injured against the Jets. It’s not because McDaniel believes Thompson is better than Tua or Bridgewater but with both of them injured
and unable to play, his only option would be to play his third string QB.

That is exactly what Belichick did yesterday. If Jones or Hoyer are available to start next week, one of them will start and Zappe will go back to the bench because he is a backup to both of them.

My statement was…”He is not afraid to start a rookie”….which he has proven multiple times.

That was all…nothing more!
