Re: Now the controversy moves to the Gronkowski interference call

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.
