The Tuck Rule came out of nowhere. Nobody knew what it was, after the game they looked it up and there it was in the rule book, written in pencil, in Belichick's handwriting...

According to the Tuck Rule, the quarterback can, upon receiving the ball, fake a throw and, even if the play goes on a full 30 minutes, can never be charged with a fumble.

Just because some people didn't know it was there, doesn't mean it was the wrong call. What would you have had them do? Say "Well, even though it's a game rule, we're gonna call it a fumble because it wouldn't be fair if we followed the NFL rules?" I mean, what the hell?
