I'm not denying that the ball is moving in his right palm, it is, but his left hand is on the ball. To indicate a loss of control, the ref must be able to see space between the ball and the receiver's hands/body.

It was close, and had the call on the field been incomplete, I don't think they could've overturned it either.

I'll agree with Samari Rolle on one thing, the defense is hamstrung by today's rules. But to hint that the NFL wants the Patriots to remain undefeated to sell seats is ridiculous. They sell just as many seats in years with no undefeated teams. In fact, the league designs scheduling and drafting in such a way that one might think their ultimate goal is 32 8-8 teams.

The media, and some fans, hype the going undefeated angle. As I've said, as a Pats fan, that's no higher than #3 on my wish list. Right now #1 & #2 looks good - the Pats are looking like the favorite to win the Super Bowl, and if the bottom of the standings stay the same, they'll have the #2 overall pick in the draft. I'll take 15-1 in the regular season if I get the other two.

Besides, as Brady said, 19-0 is no big deal. His Pats already won 21 straight once.

I always thought that the ball couldn't be moving or shifting in the receivers hands for it to be considered under control, but I'm not 100% on that. But, yeah, very close and I agree that they probably couldn't have overturned in the other way either.

I just hope my Jags get a shot at you guys in the playoffs.
