    There is no way anyone can say it was 100% uncatchable. The only reason it even COULD be considered uncatchable is because Gronk was getting molested and wasn't even given a chance at playing the ball. Dude is huge if you let him take even 1 step and lunge he's going to be right there in the vicinity. I hate the Pats as much as anyone but they got hosed. They still wouldve had to score on the untimed down from the 1 but they should have atleast gotten that chance based on the rules.

    I have to disagree with that. He was only molested at a time where it was already too late for him to come back to catch it. Watch it again in slow mo and note when the hold occurred and where the ball was at the time.

    Maybe it should have been called, but there is absolutely no way Gronk can catch that. Molested or otherwise, I can tell you he wasn't catching that pass.

    Patriots are still going to win the AFC East. All this game does is move the Panthers in to a good position to make the playoffs in the NFC

    So you still agree it's a holding call. Which is more likely what it was. The "can he catch it" argument is void.

    You can bump and smash the WR for 5 yards off the LOS. After that BEAR HUGGING is a foul....

    Does it matter if he could have caught it? No because the CB didn't play the ball and just rammed Gronk and pushed him back. Flag.

    If the idiot CB would have turned around and faced the ball... It most likely STILL GETS INTERCEPTED. And it's a legal play.

    Even the guy who was guilty of the foul couldn't have caught that imo.

    Uhhh yea because he was facing the crowd. If he plays the ball he's right where the ball gets intercepted by his teammate...

    Yea, you guys have convinced me it was a foul. I'll give ya that. I'm not exactly an expert on football anyway. I admit that.

    That ball wasn't going into the dirt. It hit the CB in the numbers. How couldn't the CB have caught it if he played it? Both the guys in front of Gronk COULD have caught it.

    He tries to cut back towards the ball on his 3rd step even before the major groping ensues. If he is able to make that cut when he wanted to he is going to be right there with #38

    I think it's more of a matter of was it a holding call or was that PI?
