Had he not been interfered with I give him maybe 1 chance in 5 of making the catch instead of the secondary defender. |

The NFL supervisor said it was a good call on a tight play. It really does not matter what we think if the NFL is not downgrading their officials for this play. None of us here are at that level and do not have to answer to the NFL for what was called.

He was fence sitting. Obviously we don't have the answer to what was called or what not with the NFL, but it is a good discussion point. |

And getting the mechanics correct dismisses those complaints that "they shouldn't have picked up a flag on the last play of the game" or "the white hat should have given a more thorough explanation."

If they felt the call was incorrect, they would have said so like they do other times. Peace

I kinda agree with him not saying it. While in the short term it might seem like he's backing them up by saying its correct, I like that he said this is a tight judgment call and they followed the proper procedure. If he said it was the right call (or the wrong call), it would mean every single close call would be asked about and de facto appealed to the league. Leave it to the officials on the field, it's not Blandino's place to judge every close call. And while I disagree with that call, I do also like that they won't downgrade an official that makes a tough call on a tight one.

ESPN broke this down, on its Sports Science segment, and shows that Gronk was slowing down and would have been in position to make a catch (not that he would have made it...but he would have been in position to do so).

Each season I thank God for NF:1-1-9 "The game officials shall have the authority to make decisions for infractions of the rules. The use of replay or television monitoring equipment by the game officials in making any decision relating to the game is prohibited." NF: 1-1-11 "Protestsof NFHS games are not recognized." gets special consideration as well. |
