The sad thing is these two calls may have translated to a two game differential for the Saints record. Pats win one, Panthers win one. Saints loose two.

I prefer it this way honestly. It breaks their hearts more when they think they have actually have a chance. :D

Agreed ... there was definitely a defensive holding call in there somewhere ... :neutral:.

Ball was in the air so it's PI

there will always be the human factor, until they replay calls and non calls we will have to put up with it.

There were so many things wrong with that play and call.

1. Ball was severely under thrown.
2. Luke Kuechly never looked back for the ball.
3. Flag was thrown, then picked up and no explanation was given.
4. Gronk never tried to come back for the ball.

Even if the Refs want to argue it was a non-foul because the ball was un-catchable making it not pass interference.The following two penalties would apply.

Illegal Contact - That is called anywhere any time during a play.
Holding - Which was clearly the case.

Bill Belichick ~ Dont let the game get close enough for a Referee's call to decide the game.

By the rule book you're probably right, but I like the non-call because the ball wasn't catchable and like you said Gronk never made a movement toward the ball. That was on Gronk for not being dramatic enough.
