I admit that it should be ruled a fumble, but it was called how it was written in the rule book. The problem, if any, is with how the rule was written. It should also be mentioned that: A) Brady was hit in the head on the play making it an illegal blow to the head and Oakland could have found themselves penalized an additional 15 yards. B) The tuck rule itself could be considered a make-up call for the Sugar Bear Hamilton call and Oakland went on to win a title.

I think a good question might be “why are the referees so anti-Pats”? I suspect it’s because of Belichick’s disdain for the refs. I actually wish all of the refs were neutral robots, but they aren’t, and most of the blame for any anti-Pats feeling is probably due to the Patriots organization’s behavior.

And less we forget, the Pats were the beneficiaries of one of the greatest gifts in sports history, after the Immaculate Conception – “the Tuck”, or, as the rest of the sports world knows it, “the fumble that was called incorrectly.”
