My heart was beating so damn fast.

This is amazing.

Credit to the ref for picking up the flag. It was underthrown clearly.

Well duh. That isn't the question that needs to be answered. What we all want to know is why the ref, who was standing five feet away, threw the flag in the first place? If the ball is clearly uncatchable, don't throw a goddamn flag.

I'm convinced the football gods are rewarding Carolina due to their recent 4th down aggressiveness.

Last year, that penalty is called and Carolina loses; just like those 2 4th quarter fumbles last week vs. San Fran would've been recovered by the 49ers and Carolina would've lost that game.

How is that not illegal contact?

Bullhockey. You have no idea what Gronk might have been able to do if he wasn't being escorted out the back of the ez.

One of the worst no-calls with a game on the line I have ever seen.

The bill Belchick press conference is classic. LOL at the silence.

His is pissed.
