[quote name='bvharris']There is no chance that timeout was called in time. They showed the replay and the clock was at 0 when the whistle blows.[/QUOTE]
Yep clock was at zero when whistle blew, refs gave the Texans 3pts
Seriously that was a fumble by a mile, I guess when Bryant threw the ball at the ref, their taking a personal agenda against Patriots, because their has been atrocious calls against NE.
Edit: I meant when Lloyd threw the ball at the refs.
[quote name='bvharris']Wow, that was an absolutely terrible ing call. Worst call of the playoffs so far.[/QUOTE]
I don't usually complain about officiating but I had to laugh when two of the officials were trying to figure out who had possession after the fumble and then the back judge came flying in signaling that the receiver was down (forward progress)... like 15 seconds after the end of the play.
Houston lost this game in the first quarter when they only scored 3 points. If you get a kickoff return to the 10 yard line and several stops against a team like NE you have to come away with TDs.
lol @ forward progress when his forward progress wasn't even stopped. like how some ref 50 feet away from the fumble herp derps to the pile and is like Texans ball! atrocious call
This is why the Patriots are so dangerous. If you let them get going they can just put up points at an unbelievable clip. This was a 4 point game at the half.
"Next man up!" Vareen is having a career game after getting a chance when Gronk got injured in first quarter. Vareen has 3 TD's tonight, only have 5 total TDs in his career.
Wow. When I first saw that play my thought was that Posey was clearly out-of-bounds by the time he grabbed that ball. After the slo-mo replay I'm not so sure...
The AFC looks almost identical to last year. Ravens knocked out Texans last year and Patriots knocked out the Broncos. They just switched opponents this year.

And that sucks about Gronk. He's one of the best players on the team but has been injury prone late in the season the last 2 years.[/QUOTE]
It's been an ankle and then a forearm, he's just had some bad luck. Although that will happen with 110% guys like Gronk.
