Our analysis reveals that when Evans’ second foot makes contact with the ground, evidenced by the changing shape of his shoe, the ball has already been knocked loose. So in fact, it was not a catch. The officials got it right.

Toucher and Rich’s Gronk Remix
The media and bloggers like me need to thank our lucky hoodies that Gronk is ours. He’s the gift that keeps on giving on the field and off.

NFL.com Blogs » Blog Archive Playbook: Giants, Patriots win with scheme «
One of the best parts of making it to the Super Bowl? Two full hours of NFL Network’s playbook dedicated entirely to the match-up.
While the Patriots were able to keep an elite defense on its heels with personnel groupings and an efficient running attack, we were surprised how little Baltimore game-planned to attack Julian Edelman as a defender. On the 18 plays that Edelman was in on defense, the Ravens only attacked Edelman three times. The first occasion didn’t come until the fourth quarter with 1:44 remaining. In the end, the Ravens were 2-of-3 on targets toward Edelman for 22 yards. For a majority of the game, Edelman was matched on Anquan Boldin, but Baltimore didn’t scheme to exploit that advantage. And in the run game, the Ravens were not efficient, either. Ray Rice gained only 67 yards on 21 carries. The Patriots offense, on the other hand, was impressive in how it scored. All five of their scoring drives reached double figures in play-count and accumulated 23 minutes and 17 seconds combined (58 plays). Even if Tom Brady didn’t have his best game, the Patriots game-planned well enough to earn a Super Bowl bid.

Inside the NFL – 2012 AFC Championship – Ravens at Patriots (by BostonSportsFTW)
Gronked miked for the win. My Gronk ankle paranoia has subsided especially after this video for a couple reasons. Obviously the first one is that he came back and seemed fine. I re-watched the game after he came back in focusing just on him and it didn’t seem like it was bothering him at all. Of course this could just be from adrenaline and whatever pain killer they shot him up with. But regardless, Gronk is Gronk and a sprained ankle is not going to slow him down much, if at all, in the Ship.
This is what it was like to be inside Gillette after the Cundiff miss.
