The Patriots got cheated

I know,I know we hate the Patriots. I hate them too. I realized after watching last nights game, Patriots vs Panthers that I hate the Patriots more than the Panthers because I found myself rooting for the Panthers to win. But I digress. Now back to my point. The refs cheated the Patriots out of a chance to win last night's game. Pure plain and simple.

For those that missed the play I will try to find a gif and post here for viewing. On the last play of the game with 4 seconds left, the patriots were on the 13 yard line. Brady threw a pass into the end zone. Rob Gronkowski was deep in the end zone near the goal post. Kuechly had coverage of Gronkowski. Kuechly basically had both of his arms "wrapped" around Gronkowski with his back to Brady as Brady tried to throw the ball to Gronkowski. One of the refs threw a flag for pass interference against Kuechly. After a ref conference they picked up the flag and called game over. The refs essentially ruled that the pass was not catchable by Gronkowski. How the **** can they make that kind of determination when Gronkowski was essentially mauled by Kuechly with his back to the play? It's not like the ball was way over his head. He was not given a chance to make a play on the ball due to Kuechly.

I call bullshit. If the present rules do not permit the refs to view instant replay on a play like that, that could determine the final outcome of the game, then the rules should be changed. If that would have been us that got robbed, we would be livid. Peace and out Rams fans.
