Did anyone see the pass interference on the 5th down at the end of the game?

[Programmer]

It was an obvious foul, but the Chiefs got 5 downs at the end of the game.

[kstater]

Yeah, you're wrong on both counts.

[Sully]

I don't believe it was PI, and it definitely wasn't 5 downs.

[petegz28]

Yeah, you're wrong on both counts.

BS, reaching back and holding down a receivers arm is PI.

[keg in kc]

Yeah, you're wrong on both counts.Programmer only has two modes: he's either saying something that's wrong, or he's not saying anything at all.

[KcMizzou]

Yeah, you're wrong on both counts.Agreed.

There was a TO called before the fade route on 1st down. That play didn't count.

[Valiant]

BS, reaching back and holding down a receivers arm is PI.

I think it was within 5yards when it happened..

[petegz28]

I think it was within 5yards when it happened..

I'm talking about after the ball was in the air...the both turned to face the ball and the DB rached back and held Bowe's arm down

[KevB]

It was PI, without question. O'Neal reaches back and completely holds Bowe's arm(s) down. There's no doubt about it. Oh well.

[Bugeater]

Mecca says it's OK.

[morphius]

The arm bar was illegal, there were only 4 downs.

[SAUTO]

DEFINATELY PASS INTERFERENCE

[WilliamTheIrish]

We had 3 other perfect chances to score. One of which was LJ getting stuffed u the middle.

[Chiefshrink]

The arm bar was illegal, there were only 4 downs.

Agreed. Contact was legal however there was an illegal hold not viewed correctly by the ref or he was too chickensh** to make the call in Foxborough.:cuss:

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Quit bitching about the hold. It's not like we didn't have 4 plays to get it in.

[penchief]

BS, reaching back and holding down a receivers arm is PI.

That's what I thought I saw.

[petegz28]

We had 3 other perfect chances to score. One of which was LJ getting stuffed u the middle.

Agreed, and Bowe should of caught the damn ball!

[Mr. Kotter]

First "play" of the goal-line series at the end didn't count; NE time-out.

The PI non-call was also correct.....O'Neal had position on the ball.

[SAUTO]

who cares how many other chances there were he held bowe's arms down in the endzone that's pass interference

[OnTheWarpath15]

Bowe wouldn't have caught the ball anyway, since Huard threw it 5 yards OOB...

[SAUTO]

i've watched it 10 times and it sure looks as though it was catchable

[SAUTO]

yeah again totally catchable

[Mr. Kotter]

i've watched it 10 times and it sure looks as though it was catchable

ONeal had position though; the WR can't come-back through a defender who has position.

[Chiefshrink]

First "play" of the goal-line series at the end didn't count; NE time-out.

The PI non-call was also correct.....O'Neal had position on the ball.

Position and contact within 5yds are one thing, but legit holding is PI Period!!!:cuss:

[Chiefshrink]

I don't know if the Ref was out of position or not?

[Mr. Kotter]

Position and contact within 5yds are one thing, but legit holding is PI Period!!!:cuss:


It's not holding. ONeal had position; Bowe can't simply push ONeal aside. Had he, it would have been offensive pass interference.

[Hog Rider]

"He was givin' him da business."

[Programmer]

Yeah, you're wrong on both counts.

Bowe, to incompletes in the end zone.

Gonzales one incomplete

LJ failed run

Bowe third incomplete with the defender holding his arms.

That's five and holding the arms before the ball gets there is pretty much the definition of pass interference.

[Programmer]

I don't believe it was PI, and it definitely wasn't 5 downs.

find a tape and watch it again.

[SAUTO]

ONeal had position though; the WR can't come-back through a defender who has position.

STILL HELD DOWN HIS ARMS THAT"S PI

[Mr. Kotter]

...
That's five and holding the arms before the ball gets there is pretty much the definition of pass interference.


NOT when the DEFENDER has position it's not.

[Programmer]

Programmer only has two modes: he's either saying something that's wrong, or he's not saying anything at all.

didn't watch the game did you?

[Shag]

ONeal had position though; the WR can't come-back through a defender who has position.

Position is irrelevant if the DB makes an action to prevent the WR's right to the ball. The camera angle was bad, but it looked like O'Neal reached out with his left arm and prevented Bowe from extending his arms for the catch. If that's indeed what happened, it's PI.

Bowe wasn't trying to go through him, anyway...

[SAUTO]

Bowe, to incompletes in the end zone.

Gonzales one incomplete

LJ failed run

Bowe third incomplete with the defender holding his arms.

That's five and holding the arms before the ball gets there is pretty much the definition of pass interference.

THEY CALLED TO BEFORE THE FIRST PLAY

[Mr. Kotter]

STILL HELD DOWN HIS ARMS THAT"S PI

Go read the rule book. Listen to CBS's call; Dan Dierdorf explained it exactly right.

[Mr. Laz]

2 fade passes to the left to bowe
1 running play
1 5 yard curl to tony
1 fade stop to the right to bowe

[Programmer]

NOT when the DEFENDER has position it's not.

The defender was falling into Bowe, facing the QB, but you still cannot hold the receivers arms and he was not going for the ball.

[SAUTO]

NOT when the DEFENDER has position it's not.

what position an armbar over the receiver's hands? watch it again he reaches out and holds his arms, the db was going towards the ball also and reaches back!

[Programmer]

ONeal had position though; the WR can't come-back through a defender who has position.

That still does not change the fact that he was holding his arms.

[SAUTO]

Go read the rule book. Listen to CBS's call; Dan Dierdorf explained it exactly right.

oh yeah cbs will talk down the pats. DID YOU WATCH THE GAME> THEY HAVE CBS ZONE RIGHT THERE

[Sully]

find a tape and watch it again.

I've already watched it several times.

1) As people have said to you several times, the first play NEVER COUNTED. That makes your "5th down" call incorrect.

2) I think the PI complaint is people nitpicking about something that will not be called 99% of the time. Just like holding, there are some things that will never be called, depending on the game/situation/part of the field/obvious-ness. That type of "arm bar" happens on nearly every pass play.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

it was within 5 yards of the LOS....

[Bob Dole]

ONeal had position though; the WR can't come-back through a defender who has position.

The defender can't reach back and hold down his arm.

[Mr. Kotter]

what position an armbar over the receiver's hands? watch it again he reaches out and holds his arms, the db was going towards the ball also and reaches back!

Defender had every right to the ball; he had better position. ONEAL was fighting for the ball at that point.

If Huard had not under-thrown the ball, it wouldn't have been an issue. It's Huard's fault. Period.

[Mr. Kotter]

The defender can't reach back and hold down his arm.

If the CB is trying to make a catch, and has position....in coming back to the ball, the WR is now actually the "defender" and subject to the interference call.

[Shag]

it was within 5 yards of the LOS....

Distance from the LOS is irrelevant once the ball is in the air...

[Hydrae]

it was within 5 yards of the LOS....

LOS was the 5 yard line. By definition, the end zone is more than 5 yards from the LOS.

[007]

No ref will make that call at the end of a game.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

LOS was the 5 yard line. By definition, the end zone is more than 5 yards from the LOS.

I believe it was actually the 4, but I could be wrong.

[grandllama]

Go read the rule book. Listen to CBS's call; Dan Dierdorf explained it exactly right.

I really don't get a rat's ass what mr. super spittlemouth had to say. ONeal had hold of Bowes arm. Was not going for the ball. If that was any other team in the NFL, especially the team of golden vaginas we were playing, that gets called.

Just like the nice little push off Mr. Moss got away with before becoming Mr. Butterfingers.

[Smed1065]

Yeah, you're wrong in life.
And some want no abortions...

[kcpasco]

No ref will make that call at the end of a game.

Not true, i've seen that call made many times

If I recall right, DJ got one a few years ago in the Dallas game.

[007]

I really don't get a rat's ass what mr. super spittlemouth had to say. ONeal had hold of Bowes arm. Was not going for the ball. If that was any other team in the NFL, especially the team of golden vaginas we were playing, that gets called.

You mean the same push off that TG gets called for a lot of the time?

[Hydrae]

I believe it was actually the 4, but I could be wrong.

I am not in a position to watch the game, I am going off what it showed on NFL Game Center:

2-16-KC 27 (1:09) (No Huddle, Shotgun) 11-D.Huard pass deep right to 81-D.Darling to NE 5 for 68 yards (21-D.O'Neal) [37-R.Harrison].
Timeout #2 by KC at 00:53.
Timeout #2 by NE at 00:53.
1-5-NE 5 (:53) (Shotgun) 11-D.Huard pass incomplete short left to 82-D.Bowe.
Timeout #3 by NE at 00:50.
2-5-NE 5 (:50) 27-L.Johnson right guard to NE 5 for no gain (93-R.Seymour, 50-M.Vrabel).
Timeout #3 by KC at 00:46.
3-5-NE 5 (:46) (Shotgun) 11-D.Huard pass incomplete short left to 88-T.Gonzalez.
4-5-NE 5 (:40) (Shotgun) 11-D.Huard pass incomplete short right to 82-D.Bowe.

[grandllama]

No ref will make that call at the end of a game.

I guranfarkingtee if it was the boys from NE going for the tie on fourth down it would have been called. God forbid the NFL let their golden goose lose their first game of the season

it looked more like the 4 to me on tv, but who knows.

ESPN also called it a poor pass that sailed right of the endzone, and that's not accurate either.

[grandllama]

You mean the same push off that TG gets called for a lot of the time?

When was the last time you saw TG push a defender 10 yards down field and not get called? TG does it, hell everybody does it, but nobody does it as blatantly and gets away with it as often as that lazy ass POS named Moss.

[Mr. Kotter]

You mean the same push off that TG gets called for a lot of the time?

Or that Bowe got on his TD. Yeah, sometimes they call it; sometimes they don't. Depends on their angle, and a whole lot of other factors.

[Chiefshrink]

yeah again totally catchable

Disagree, the arm bar "holding" prevented him from extending his arms to catch it. He clearly reaches back and cups his hand around Bowe's elbow preventing his arm from extending. It was not catchable:shake:

[MTG#10]

The Chiefs did not have 5 downs. The first fade to Bowe didnt count because the Pats called a time out just before the snap.

[Bugeater]

oh yeah cbs will talk down the pats. DID YOU WATCH THE GAME> THEY HAVE CBS ZONE RIGHT THERE

I didn't hear about this "CBS Zone", please enlighten me. Also, can anyone tell me what the Pats' regular season record was last year? I didn't see any banners in the stadium that said what it was.

[Sully]

I guranfarkingtee if it was the boys from NE going for the tie on fourth down it would have been called. God forbid the NFL let their golden goose lose their first game of the season

I'll say these two things...
1) If it is called so obviously in "other teams'" games, then it wouldn't make sense to actually coach players to do it.

2) Coaches actually coach players to do it.

[Marcellus]

Clear case of PI if you watch the play again. Sorry it was PI.

[Chiefshrink]

I've already watched it several times.

1) As people have said to you several times, the first play NEVER COUNTED. That makes your "5th down" call incorrect.

2) I think the PI complaint is people nitpicking about something that will not be called 99% of the time. Just like holding, there are some things that will never be called, depending on the game/situation/part of the field/obvious-ness. That type of "arm bar" happens on nearly every pass play.

Respectfully disagree about the arm bar every play. Once he felt Bowes arm you see him purposefully grab his elbow keeping it down. It was the Darling Team of the NFL at home as to why it wasn't called.:cuss:

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Chiefs fans will use anything to justify why they lost other than the fact that the team and coach sucks.

[BigRock]

I haven't rewatched it to really pay attention, but the Boston media asked Belichick about it in his postgame. There's no way they bring it up if they aren't thinking they might have gotten away with something.

[el borracho]

With the way Bowe was playing today we should have thrown it to Gonzalez four times in a row but, yeah, it looked like the CB committed a penalty on the last one.

[Dave Lane]

Wrong on both counts incidental contact on the arm. When both are looking for the ball its totally legal.

Dave

[BossOrphan]

Bitching about penalties is a sign of weakness. No ref makes that call on the last play of the game if he wants to keep his job.

[SAUTO]

THAT QUOTE WAS taKEN OUT OF CONTEXT what i was referring to was if the pass was catchable if no pi has occured

[SAUTO]

I didn't hear about this "CBS Zone", please enlighten me. Also, can anyone tell me what the Pats' regular season record was last year? I didn't see any banners in the stadium that said what it was.

thes cbs zone is a restaurant and bar in the parking lot of the stadium, all cbs big wigs were there today and last night with the pats players

[007]

It's CBS Scene.

[SAUTO]

ok so its the espnzone and cbs scene whats the diff?

[triple]

in today's ticky-tack NFL, it could have been called, but it would have been a weak call.

[Lzen]

It was a penalty. It should have been PI. Or, at the very least, illegal contact. Either way, it should have been 1st down for the Chiefs. Of course, if dipshit Huard had thrown a better pass, Bowe would have had a better shot and not have to rely on the ref to make a call.

And for anyone who still does not get it, the Chiefs did not get 5 downs. Dierdorf explained it if you had been listening to the CBS broadcast. NE called a time out right before the Chiefs snapped it on 1st down. Therefore, that down did not count. This place would have really melted down if we had scored a TD and then it not being counted due to the TO.

[Hammock Parties]

Quit bitching about the hold. It's not like we didn't have 4 plays to get it in.

4 ****ing plays and we didnt even gain a ****ing yard... Herm will never learn, no matter who we got at OC... He gets no slack from me this year at all.

And yes, that was a pass interference, and it was very blatant. He held his fooking arms down.

[sedated]

if the roles were reversed and Flowers held Moss in the endzone, it would have been a flag no doubt.

but that's still no excuse - produce in 4 downs or go home with your head down.

[Programmer]

Bitching about penalties is a sign of weakness. No ref makes that call on the last play of the game if he wants to keep his job.

Only if it's the pats.

[Skip Towne]

We wouldn't have scored if they gave us 8 downs. Thanks, Herm.

[KCJohnny]

who cares how many other chances there were he held bowe's arms down in the endzone that's pass interference

I just saw the replay for the first time. Bowe's arms are CLEARLY being held down before the ball arrives.

Blown call.
