I have watched the replay, I have the DVDs for all three championships and for their 21 game winning streak.

Once a passer makes forward motion with their throwing arm that action automatically is ruled a pass attempt.

When Brady brought the ball back in, he did not yet get his second hand on the ball, ( I have the replay at two different angels), therefore he did not regain control of the ball which, buy rule, deems it an incomplete pass.

I would make the obligatory "Raider Fans get over it" remark, but as a Pats fan I admit that I fumed for 25 years over the non interference call from the 1976 playoff game against the Silver and Black.

So until the Raiders can actually learn to play football again and bring their fans another VL trophy, I'll cut them some slack.

I am not a Raiders fan, and I have been amazed at what the Pats have accomplsihed with their talent. I believe their front office is terrible at people relations, not necessarily personnel management, but people management they are perceived to screw people and end relationships in the worst possible way, making everyone mad about it, which amazes me even more because they often start out the year with a bad atmosphere in the locker room and just keep winning.

The tuck rule, I believe the ball had reached Brday's left hand when Woodson knocks it out, watch the replay from the left side and a bit to the rear. I believe you see Brady's hand move as the ball contacts it, and then Woodson hits Brady's arm and knocks it out, IMO fumble. You have your take I have mine, it will be debated for a while longer. Regardless I do not believe there was incontrovertible photo evidence to overturn the call on the field, and that is my main headache.
Frankly if the Rams had just played their game rather than sucking in the offense like they did against the Bucs in the Championship game and the Pats in the SB it may not have mattered, but that's why they strap 'em and play the game.
Enjoy Sunday, it ought to be a great game.
