I don't really see the problem here. Are people here saying that the offensive line blows chunks? Was the new rule not put in, at least in fair part, as a result of the Brady injury last season?

Why would Lewis talk about a New England Buffalo game? Well Einstein, because he worried about calls against defensive players.

See, only a whiny ass ***** would cry after a game where they also received a RTP call from the crew that calls the most penalties.

This story has "traction" because the Pats benefitted. Ya know, the team that was called for "face guarding" in an AFCCG. (Note: there no such rule)

As a concerned fan, aren't you going to call the league and complain about the Wright penalty against Flacco?

"The ESPN Stats & Analysis team passes along that there have been 22 roughing-the-passer penalties this season (which includes Mike Wright's hands to the face, which was called as unnecessary roughness but which I assume will be changed to roughing the passer). Of those 22, three have been called against Patriots opponents, and three have been called on the Patriots. So it's an even split."

Well said Mike Reiss !!

.... that's ok. It's really not worth the effort to guide you to
an understanding of Clayton's insinuation.

Every mention of the Patriots by ESPN creates a new thread ...

then there's the usual he's an idiot, he's a moron, they hate the Patriots crap. Just stop posting that ***** ... because that's all it is.

These rankings have no influence on which teams get to play for the championship.

Deus Irae

You're right, particularly because it's a throw away line in a week 4 power ranking, and serves as nothing more than another silly opportunity to bash ESPN over a trivial comment.

I think the saddest part of this is that Tom Brady is yelling at the rough cause he wants a roughing the passer call. Then I'm listening to Sirius NFL radio and they play a clip of a Brady interview where he admits that Suggs hardly touched him. Not for nothin but beggin for a roughing call is sad, but then to go and even admit u were hardly touched after u did that.

That happens all the time. Holding, pass interference, etc. Every QB is guilty of trying to coax the ref a call. Either way, I highly doubt Brady's pleading had any impact on the refs thought process before he let the laundry fly (at least I'd like to think that.)
