Originally posted by Wagon Circler View PostExcept Brady was out of the pocket and ahead of the line of scrimmage. As the ball carrier at that point he could have been smashed helmet to helmet and brutalized and no flag would have come. Even in 2012. Soooo there's that.

Watch the Bills/Pats game again and explain to me why there was no flag for a high/low on Fitz, while Kyle Williams was not only flagged, but fined for grazing Brady's leg while he still had the ball...

Re: This should lighten the mood..
Originally posted by Wagon Circler View Post^ he's in the pocket behind the line of scrimmage. He's not carrying the ball at that point. Those examples are unrelated.
But, you want Brady scrambling? Fine: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-h...c/Fair-penalty
Fletcher's hit is much more tame than Nate Clements' hit above...The difference is, Nate's hit came before Brady was a Super Bowl winning QB.

Originally posted by Mike View PostThere are always inconsistencies in NFL games. One ref calls it one way another another way. One times its called one thing, the next time something else.... Thats a human and in perfect part of the game, human error.

I don't blame the officials too often for bad calls, and the penalty last week certainly didn't cost the Bills the game, but it's pretty obvious to anyone with two functioning eyes that watches football with any sense of regularity that some QB's get calls that other QB's do not.

Originally posted by BLeonard View PostUh-huh.... Sorry, but when Dan Dierdorf is questioning a call the favors the Pats, you know it's pretty bad.

With the Williams flag/fine, Williams was on the ground and swiped Brady with his arm, opposed to the Pats Cunningham, who launched himself into Fitz's legs, hitting him with his helmet and shoulder pads. Big difference in the severity of the hits, yet the Bills were flagged and the Pats were not. Brady has always received preferential treatment (see Tuck rule game). I don't know if it's because Brady is a "star" in the NFL, or the officials are intimidated by Bilichick.
