I was at the game but when we wrapped up Brady and he "passed" the ball didn't it look like intentional grounding? Like it barely went past the LOS. Also, wtf was up with that Brian Hartline headlock they gave him lol? That defender was all over Hartline. Regardless I didn't think he would make the catch but still.
 
I was yelling at the TV for both plays. Brady was not out of the pocket, and the ball never reached the line of scrimmage.

The interference on Hartline was pathetic, and I DO think he would've made the catch.

There was another no-call a little later that had me incensed as well. I can't recall what it was at the moment though.
 
The non-call for Hartline and the non-call on the WR who jumped on Finnegan's back were both really bad, but I don't recall any obvious intentional groundings. I'm pretty sure his throwaways were always in somebody's vicinity.
 
I remember one throw in the first half that was short of the LOS by a few yards
 
Hartline non PI call was beyond ridiculous.

Finnegan non OPI was also beyond ridiculous.

Both times both players got mugged.
 
Pats played dirty yesterday- simple. They were scared and playing that way. Refs missed a lot of calls and I'm glad the team played through it.
 
Clearly, there's no such thing as "Pats Interference".

the offensive interference (i think Lefell) against Cortland Finnegan was another terrible call, plus when ne had the ball on its own 10 or so and it was 3rd and 10 and they ran the ball right for a first down i think it was Grimes who got blocked in the back with no call
 
From what I recall, I didn't see any intentional grounding. Although, Brady's pass(es) failed to reach the LOS on occasion, there were targets (RB's/WR's) within the vicinity of his throws.

As far as the other calls, or as should be noted "non-calls", :bs:

But, it did seem to pretty a fairly called game overall considering it was the history of the Pats and the referees.
 
How close those a target have to be? That pass I didn't think passed the LOS and the only target was over 5 yards, probably 8-10. Also, I remember on a punt the NE special team guy was blocking our Dolphins player from the back. Oh well can't complain. We won, Kicked their asses!
 
And you heard Belicheat crying about all the penalties on the Pats after the game, but they missed a few more on the Pats, like the headlock against Hartline, along with some helmet to helmet hits.
 
On the play where Brady was wrapped up they should have blown the whistle. While he was prone like that, a Miami defender could have creamed him and near killed him. And w no whistle it would have been legal. I thought they were just late on the whistle - later Tannehill was in a similar situation and they blew the whistle quicker so perhaps they realized it. I hate Brady but that was dangerous not blowing that dead when he was being held like a statue arm up in air.
 
I wasn't surprised by the non calls, I saw the refs help Brady up on one play.

I didn't even know that was legal...
