not sure what play you saw but he was far from trying to pass the ball.

Dan Dierdorf is fucking unbearable.
Would've been awesome if the Pats had intercepted that first pass after the safety, to shut him the fuck up.

Punter did the right thing, to be honest. Should have been an incomplete pass, intentional grounding, and Colts ball at like the 40 or something.

It looked to me like he was about to try and pass the ball, but it was knocked loose before he could really get into the motion and he ended up just pushing it forward in the air after the fact.

I don't think it's dumb. The best outcome for the patriots is a safety followed by a defensive hold. The worst is 9 points with the colts having the last possession. If the punter downed it, it's 3 or 7, but with a chance for a last drive for the Patriots, with a potential +4 or +7 outcome.

If the ball goes out the back of your own end zone, it's a safety.

Ball was in the air going forward when the colts defense batted it out the back of the endzone. What else would you call it?
It was, but it was fumbled forward (or knocked loose), not a pass attempt. I think that was what the ref conference was all about.

There's the interception.

So, how stupid would it have been to spot them 3 points for a quick FG or more likely 7, Dierdorf?

I think you are wrong see the bolded section below.

Rule 8 Forward Pass, Backward Pass, Fumble
Section 1 Forward Pass
DEFINITION
Article 1 DefinitionIt is a forward pass if:
(a) the ball initially moves forward (to a point nearer the opponent's goal line) after leaving the passer's
hand(s); or
(b) the ball first strikes the ground, a player, an official, or anything else at a point that is nearer the
opponent's goal line than the point at which the ball leaves the passer's hand(s).
Note: A ball that is intentionally fumbled and goes forward is a forward pass. A ball that is intentionally muffed,
and goes forward or backward, is a batted ball (12-1-8).
The direction taken by a fumbled or muffed ball
does not affect the application of the rules specific to such acts, unless it is ruled that they are intentional.
When a player is in control of the ball and attempting to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of
his hand starts a forward pass.
(a)If the passer is attempting to throw a forward pass, but contact by an opponent materially affects him,
causing the ball to go backward, it is a forward pass, regardless of where the ball strikes the ground, a
player, an official, or anything else.

(b) If, after an intentional forward movement of his hand, the passer loses possession of the ball as he is
attempting to tuck it back toward his body, it is a forward pass. If the player loses possession after he
has tucked the ball into his body, it is a fumble.
(c) If the passer loses possession of the ball while attempting to recock his arm, it is a fumble

This game shows how good Alex Smith is. He was torching this d. Brady has to hand it off and rely on the running game.

Late to the party but that was in no fucking way a forward pass.

Glad the pats are playing well hope it continues.
