A failure by the concussion spotter. DeVante Parker could not stand up straight after hitting the ground. Nelson Agholor took a knee and was flailing desperately to try to get the play stopped for Parker.

I know we overreact to penalty calls. But the roughing the passer called on Grady Jarrett against Tom Brady was one that legitimately makes you wonder about the legitimacy of the sport. It was a routine tackle.

I don't want this misconstrued, so take the end result of the game out of it. Whether the local team won or lost by 50, it's 100% unacceptable for a professional official to determine that this player stepped out of bounds. A completely imaginary call in a billion-dollar league.
N’Keal Harry was somehow ruled out of bounds here and cost the Patriots 4 points because they ultimately settled for a field goal

Just like last year, my issue is this: There were ZERO calls for defensive holding before Bradberry was flagged. Zero. All game. Players play to the game that's being called.
The infraction, such as it was, was far from egregious. Just can't call it. Cannot.
Frustrating.

“It is a foul if a player initiates a block when his path is toward or parallel to his own end line and makes forcible contact to his opponent with his helmet, forearm, or shoulder.”

Forgive me if I'm hesitant to believe Belichick leaves a job where:
•He has total roster control
•He makes every football decision
•He employs his children on the coaching staff
•He'll have a statue
All because his 40-year-old QB played well and he had to trade a backup QB.
