    Its clearly a hold but the ball was getting picked off with or with out the hold!! Panther defender cut off the play... Gronk was too deep in the endzone!!

    The defender pushed Gronkowski from the middle towards the back of the end zone. Gruden and Young thought that it was interference but the geniuses on here of course will disagree.

    Whether its in the end zone, or at the 50 yd line, when a defender bear hugs an offensive player, the flag SHOULD be thrown, and NOT picked up too.

    LOL you are a tool...onto the game - Lets say this Keuchly is an idiot for face guarding like that in that situation with plenty of help back but the throw was poor...Therefore they couldn't giftwrap a patriots win from the goal line...Panthers got the W and deserved it...

    Refs should be replaced by robots and 3D cameras so the game can be 100% fair for both betters. The rules don't work even though the refs can make decision any time either they want to throw the flag or not. 

    Robots and cameras for future. Fuk the refs.

    I think you're right.  Gronkowski was moving backwards when that ball was in the air and nobody was interfering with him at that point.    The throw was way short and their is no way Gronkowski was going to change his momentum and make that catch.   


    Stop the video on this page at 2:15 and watch.    Gronk was going backward, the Carolina guy on the left was moving forward and has his eyes on the ball.

    It was holding, not PI.  That ball was no where near being catchable.  And then the issue becomes whether the hold was before or after the INT.  If it was after then you pick up the flag.  If not then you give them 5 yards and replay the down.

    Personally I thought the hold came prior to the pick.

    You clearly bet on the panthers or live in the Carolinas.  there is no other reason that you're so blind to the fact that an infraction occured, and the refs didnt have the stones to make the correct call.  take the blinders off pal

    Robert Lester (the Carolina guy on the left of Gronkowski) was either going to break up that pass or intercept it no matter what happened with Gronkowski and Kuechly.    He had good position and was moving toward the ball while the other two were moving backwards.
