Don't Blame The Refs..Let's Not Go To That Level - New England Patriots Forums

I mean come on guys. Faulk doesn't fumble and they don't have a chance to get the PI call. Yes It was a BAd call, but tonight Denver did to us what we usually do to other teams. Force the Opposing teams to make mistakes and capitalize. Denver did that to us. Faulk, and Hobbs fumbled, Brown...fumbled it happened. I do question why Brown was even returning Punts as Dwight seemed a little crisper at it, but let's not be Colt's Fans and ***** about this and that> We lost the game because we made mistakes and Denver didn't!!

i agree. The refs didnt take the game from us. We lost it. 5 turnovers to 1. You cant do that against a good team and you most definatly cant do it in the playoffs. THe broncos just played better than us today.

Certainly not blaming the refs, but the game might've been a whole lot different if they don't hand them that TD.

It was a Bad Call, but it was over we were in the 3rd quarter with the ball on the % yard Line with a chance to go up 13 to 10 and instead a false start penalty, A BRady interception going back to our 1 yard line and the rest is history, with a few more turnovers committed by the Pats for good measure. I'm sorry the Refs didn't cost us this game!

If the refs are making bad calls, you need to play mistake free football. Five turnovers cost the game, not the refs.

Despite the bad calls, the Pats were still in the game until the Bailey interception.

Disagree........the HORRIBLE officiating is not the SOLE reason why we lost this game.......The primary reason we lost is that we SHOT OURSELVES IN THE FOOT on every possible occasion. That having been said....when officiating is that terribly biased, one sided, and just plain flat out wrong...it certainly helped the Broncs win.

The refs sucked, no doubt. But Faulk's fumble was THE PLAY. And after that, Brady's INT. The worst ref call doesn't happen without Faulk's fumble. I love Faulk but he just can't be trusted. Tiki learned a new grip and stopped fumbling, I wish Kevin could.

It's just part of the game. Every team, especially World Champions have to overcome it.

I agree with SCPatBoy. We were beat by Turnovers, not that Interference call.

Not blaming the refs for the loss. I am blaming the refs for being totally incompetent and they should be blamed for that.
