Champ Bailey

I love big effort plays like that from Watson... Bailey had no clue that hit was coming
Yeah that was a quality moment. Good effort and nice wallop. He could a Skin for me.

For those of us trying to slit our wrists, could you please explain what happened on the play? Did Bailey start to showboat with the ball and get it stripped?

Bailey just slowed up a bit on his 100 yard INT return, Watson hustled and blasted him out of nowhere

I think it can be reasonably deduced that the ball went through the endzone but there wasn't indistputable evidence that it. Or even close. The best that could be done was to spot the landing of the ball and the release point and draw a line like they did on TV(not very well but at laest they tried). I don't think that method is in the indisputable evidence category. Maybe wrong call but right on the replay as far as the rules.


The thing was as soon as I saw it happen I said touchback because it looked like a no brainer, so whichever way the ref ruled it it was going to stand, it looked like to me they didn't even consider it. once I saw the replay I knew it was a touchback, but I also knew they wouldn't overturn it, but it was a touchback.

The only thing I could say is his foot hit the pyllon and the ball was to his right in the field of play, it was a simple deduction but I knew it would stand.

if anyone had to wager how far Watson actually had to run on that incredible hustle play for anyone much less a tightend chasing down a cornerback? since he was more than halfway across the field and had to track down bailey on the opposite sideline I'd guess about 130 or so.

I think the biggest beef NE had that game was a similar call the skins have been on the bs side of the past couple years in that bogus PI call on Samuels.

That joke of a call gave Denver 10 point's in the final 2 minutes.

Boom he's on his back!

Great INT by Bailey, but he showed lack of focus and yeah that shoulda been a touchback. Also the offensive pass interference was a touchy call and the defensive pass interference was a horrible call.

Yeah i agree. They blew the initial call assuming they were even in position to make it. Was anyone even at the goal line is a good question.

watson is a quality TE, and i usually pick him up in madden fantasy drafts cause he's so fast and usually available ;)

too bad he's not on our roster.
