Sorry, get a life. Your team lost fair and square. I know its frustrating but be a MAN and accept it. Had that been ruled a touchdown, the Pats would have had a real gripe that they were robbed. As it is, you don’t have a real gripe.

I’m a Pats fan, and agree it was a bad call. I also think the call was wrong on Brady’s lob pass to Gronkowski (in the first half, which would have set up a touchdown).

When Gronkowski caught the ball he had one foot already flat on the ground. His other foot came down well inbound the line, which should have completed the play. Instead the decision was based on the second step after the catch — ignoring that that foot was already on the ground when he caught the ball.

"Sorry, get a life."

I have one, thankewverymuch.

"Your team lost fair and square."

They're not "my team"; never have been. Couldn't care less about the Baltimore Ravens (I'm in North Carolina).

" I know its frustrating but be a MAN and accept it."

So you're challenging my manhood because I know a bad call when I see one? You're a strange little man, aren't you?

"Had that been ruled a touchdown, the Pats would have had a real gripe that they were robbed. As it is, you don’t have a real gripe."

My "gripe", friend, is that I happen to know the game pretty darned well, I know the rules of a reception (both of his feet touched the ground while he was clearly in possession of the ball, in the end zone, confirmed in multiple slow motion replays from different angles), and the guy was robbed of a touchdown. The Pats got a pass here (no pun intended) in a big way.

It was a bad call. Now why don't you climb out of mama's basement, go find ESPN on the big TV upstairs, and watch that play again (no doubt it'll be shown over and over today), then come talk to me about "manhood". Deal?
