Can't say enough about the job Antonio Allen did on Rob Gronkowski. His pick six turned the game, and his play frustrated both Gronk & Brady— Sigmund Bloom (@SigmundBloom) October 24, 2013

The question isn't whether that was a penalty on the Pats. The question is, how often does that infraction go uncalled?— Pete Damilatis (@PFF_Pete) October 20, 2013
My only question about the FG penalty in Jets-Patriots was that there just didn't appear to be enough contact to merit calling it.

They just replayed the penalty in the Jets/Pats game. No doubt that was a push. Dumb rule but good call.— NFL Philosophy (@NFLosophy) October 20, 2013

After research, @GreshandZo say that the Pats ran the push play on a FG v. Saints. Makes it possible Jets/Rex put refs on alert yesterday.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) October 21, 2013
It appears, anyway, that the Patriots were trying to circumvent the rule.

Q: Y did u think 2nd-level pushing was illegal but LOS pushing after snap OK? Belichick: "Cuz obvi we are wrong. What else is there to say?"— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) October 21, 2013

Demario Davis said he was "very aware" of no-push rule on FG attempts. Wouldn't say if they had seen that technique from NE. #Jets— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) October 21, 2013
Coaches emphasized to Jets players that they could no longer push on kicks, Davis said. #nyj
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) October 21, 2013
Mike Westhoff: "Nobody blocked as many FGs with that technique as me." But added he supported rule change because of player safety. #Jets— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) October 21, 2013
If Belichick deserves any blame here, it's for trying to exploit a loophole in consecutive weeks & taking that risk in such a critical spot.

If the NFL wants to call the "pushing" foul on FGs, fine. But 15 yards is steep. Make it illegal procedure and a 5 yard penalty.

Chris Jones play was a no-brainer call, it appears in retrospect knowing the rule. Can't say the same for that, I believe.— Seth Walder (@SethWalderNYDN) October 22, 2013
Asked Westhoff about that play yesterday. Don't think he had watched the film on it yet, but said...

I've watched the Pats FG a bunch today. It does appear Coples puts his arm on Wilkerson's back and gives him a push. (more)
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) October 22, 2013
I don't think it was a designed play, though. Looks like Coples gave up on the play and then just gives Mo a push.— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) October 22, 2013
Just watched the Coples play a half-dozen times. I mean, come on ... Not the same. Smells like something planted in the media by the team.

Jets' push play looked incidental/very minor. Certainly possible it wasn't part of the play call. To even see it, had to be looking for it.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) October 23, 2013
