Hi. When Gronk caught the ball on the TD drive, the ball was spotted at the 2, and I thought maybe it should be inches shy of the goalline. If you look at the play, he is touched by a defender as he is falling down getting ready to receive the pass, BUT it seemed to me contact was over by the time he fully caught the ball. He then attempted to roll toward the goalline and was touched just inches short.
Also, in the KC game, on the drive where Brady threw the endzone pick, the play before they got stuffed at the 1 (if memory serves), Michel was driving and to me forward progress took him inches from the goalline. Had he been willing to gamble and reach out with the ball, he probably could have broken the plane, but BB warns against that because of how easy it is to be swatted away. However, at that play they spotted it right at the 1. When they got stuffed next play (if I remember correctlY), they thought they had to try a pass. But if they had been a foot or less away, I think they might have tried to just slug it in, and probably would have scored.
Thoughts on either of these plays?
