In the Gronk play he was being fouled. If the ball had not been intercepted, that foul would have been called. The official obviously thought there was a potential disadvantage at play here....otherwise he would not have thrown the flag.

I think you need to realize that I could give a darn what you buy. I do not work for you or have to answer to you about any philosophy I apply in games. So if you do not want to accept what I told you, then don't. When you work your games, then you can use whatever philosophies you choose. The great thing about officiating is this is a competitive adventure. If someone does not like the way we do things, they can find someone else and they will find someone else. And at that level those guys are evaluated on every play as individuals and as a crew. And for some reason they picked up the flag despite what you or I think about the call.
