He is pretty solid at that. I'm still 100% sure we win that game if that TD did stand, since our offense still would have been trying, and we were unstoppable up until that point. Seemed like Brady/BB just completely let off the fucking gas on defense/offense after that weird call.
The head officials are standing by the call 100%, and I still don't like it.
If he lost possession before he crossed the pylon, then he should be down right before the pylon, he lost possession at/'after the pylon, then it's a TD, since to lose it directly at the pylon, you'd have to break the plane first. It looked like he lost it a fraction of a second before and then got shoved out of bounds in the end-zone, so I get where they're coming from on the rule, but I think they need to redefine control, since he never actually LOST the ball. It wobbled around a little bit at the worst time possible, but he had full possession and he regained possession immediately. I still think it's their ball at the .2-1 or a TD.
He did lose the ball lol, he lost possession of the ball... when it was "wobbling around" that = loss of possession. it's the rule like it or not.
I've heard explanations from Dean Blandino, and Belichick (was just on WEEI doing his weekly interview), and the call by the refs was 100% correct, if you're going to be mad (not you specifically, just in general) be mad at the rule not the refs as they were correct to overturn the TD. You need possession of the ball for it to be a touchdown, period. Seferian-Jenkins did not have possession thanks to Butler prying it at the last second before he even hit the pylon.

Ya jets got robbed tbh
But man other than the tuck rule which still confuses me, why does this feel like the first gift win we've had in a while?
if they got robbed it was by the NFL rules not by the official... but either way... refs were awful all game outside of that fiasco.
