too blurry....and whats ground? lol
(i dont know how the game is played properly)

[still_life]

Oops, I meant grounding. It's when a QB is in the pocket and throws a pass, to avoid defensive pressure, to an area that no receiver has a realistic shot at catching the pass.

[Alex Djaferis]

and who is the QB on that picture?
and how would you know if it was intentional or not? and why does it matter if its intentional or not...like, how can you tell?

sorry for Q's...ive always been interested in american football...i just never took the time to learn much of it hahaha.

[Jra1]

you can't tell where the ball is goin very well in that picture, also the picture isn't big enough to show all possible receivers

[b e L I E v e]

looks like either warner or bulger..

and, there is an eligible reciever in the direction of his throw, but i would need to see the video to see where the ball actaully heads to....

This is the final drive of the Rams/Patriots Super Bowl. But this is a play they just so happen to leave out of every highlight show, because it's a play where Brady throws the ball to no one in sight, intentional grounding, and there's no call for it.

Actually this is the site where all the bad calls and ref's favortism is exposed to NE:

[YearsGoneBy]

i think he's outside of the tackles, so doesnt that mean it isnt intentional grounding?

[still_life]

He's not outside of the RT.

He does. He likes to diminish all things Patriots. Is this because of that new tv show where that Smith guy talks about the patriots?

Ok, ill admit the evidence they stacked up is very good and that I also didnt read through the whole thing, but in every game there is going to be blown calls, even in a SuperBowl game. Im sure there is also video showing fouls on the Ram's side. You can look at every SuperBowl game and find missed calls. I understand their reason for being mad, as it was an upset and they probably think it was rigged because of 9-11. Come on though, its not like their the only ones who have been snubbed.

I have no clue what that is. I think this website is fairly new, and presents a lot of stuff that's hard to argue with.

I can deal with the refs missing two, even three personal foul calls, but when you miss 10 15-yard penalties, something is wrong. When just two weeks ago, you had the tuck rule call, making it look even more suspicious. When you miss obvious intentional grounding on a last minute drive, something is wrong. When you let extra seconds tick off the clock after a made FG, something is wrong.

Brady is a pro at doing that...Raiders game a few years ago anyone?

[b e L I E v e]

that is without a doubt intentional grounding...

and watching the actaul live superbowl 4 years ago, i did notice some of the calls were a bit favored for the pats, and then reading the article, i am even more convinced...

if you notice, they do the same thing for the eagles...in the conference game...i read an article about that, also

[Trainsaw]

grounding or not, i hate the rams, so its all good

[radiofriendly]

grounding or not, i hate the rams, so its all good

ha...i was going to say the same thing

i can't see anything, and i don't remember the game all that well, but do we all agree at least that calls or not, the pats have earned their keep as a solid team. i don't think you can put a blame on tom brady's postseason career on bias refs. or can you? and does it bug anybody else that Erik Dampier makes far more than tom brady does playing shitty hit or miss center for the mavericks? and for that matter, don't you think the pawtucket patriot beer factory episode of the family guy was great great stuff?...i did...

[Fullcollapse3k]

He's in the pocket, he's throwing it away.

Intentional Grounding.

[b e L I E v e]

i hate the rams too....specially cuz their in the same division as the niners...but i hate the patriots a hell of a lot more
