Whine about the stupid tuck rule all you want (it is kind of a stupid rule), BUT it IS a rule. It's an official, honest-to-God rule, and he got the call right. The NFL agreed he got the call right.
We won't even mention that the stupid
DB karate chopped Brady to the head to create the non-fumble, and wasn't called for that either.
Nor will we mention that the
had plenty of chances to stop the Patriots or win the game AFTER the tuck rule was correctly called, but failed each time.
In short, the ruling on the field was correct, a penalty that should have been called on the Raiders was missed, and the Raiders failed to seal the deal when given the chance anyway.
And, as if all that weren't enough, even if ti was a blatantly wrong call (which ti was not) it's still nothing more than cosmic justice for when Ben Dreith screwed the Patriots with that ridiculous roughing the passer penalty back in '76.
