The Refs Don't want the Pats and Brady to Win Anymore - New England Patriots Forums

I honestly believe this. The NFL and REfs do not want the pats to win anymore.

I have seen so many bullshlt calls lately in this league that leads me to this conclusion.

I watch football and find myself hating it more than ever with the rule changes and terrible calls in EVERY SINGLE PATS GAME.

Officiating Conspiracy Problems:
-Denver Playoff Game, Bears '06 game, and pretty much every other game.
-the 9 "Defensive Holding" calls a game
-the over-calling of Pass Interference calls by refs on the Pats
-the lack of Pass Interference calls on Pats opponents unless ridiculously blatant.
-the refs ignoring Brady getting speared, and the whole situation in general

It is very simple... the Refs and NFL do not want the Patriots to win another Superbowl... It's not good for the league. They want someone else...

I know some of you agree with me but don't have the balls to put it on here b/c you afraid of getting ripped... But i'll just say it for you guys then.

if you agree with me say so!

whether you agree with me or not you still must ask yourself this question.. Is officiating that bad lately? or does it seem that bad because we are pats fans and we are watching our own bad calls...?

Every youth team I have coached I have brought this subject up all the time. I tell them if you feel the other team has an extra player ... keep your mouth shut and play harder.

To me ... the Patriots have done that and continue to do that. I'm sure this fact is not lost upon them ... new blood is great for the NFL and its ratings ... especially when the team comes from a major city like say Philly
or has a hyped star like Peyton.

Like the team ... I have learned to love the hate ... it's so much fun.

We've had more than our share of calls go against us, but the refs called the Gerard turnover a fumble which essentially won the JAX for the Pats.

If the refs were against us, that would have not been ruled a fumble.

Sadly, there's no conspiracy... officiating in the NFL really is that bad.

The Pats/Broncos game was one of many from last seasons' playoffs that was marred by poor calls -- heck, the officiating was THE biggest story the week after the Super Bowl.

I usually watch all of the NFL games I can on Sunday and Monday, and I can honestly say that I almost never watch an entire game without seeing at least one horrible call on a big play.

I agree with what i quoted above from your post.

However i think some/most of it is intentional... i think they will go against the pats in most close calls for the same reasons you said they did it unintentionally.

I honestly believe this.

And i don't think the Garrard call was close at all.. I thought it was obvious it was a fumble.

Truth be told Keegs, this did come up in my mind a few times and I think NEM nailed the key points behind it. I guess we'll have to see playoff time to see if the refs jack us once again like last year.

Before the people who don't like me wake up and rip me for this I appreciate your honesty.

It's a little too much for me to brush off as a coincidence that we are always the ones getting screwed when it matters most in games.

**Yawn** **stretch and scratch** Wassup Keegsy, wearing your tinfoil hat again? Good color match, that with your Robin mask makes you look like the new officiating uniform with the vertical stripes and large "P" on the back with matching leg irons. Good thing I think the officiating sucks beyond the norm the past couple season or I'd have to go Polian on you.

Happy Fargin New Year ya bum!

oh comon chief, you can't say that you have actually thought this once while watching the pats???

you think it's just a coincidence that we continue to get the crap end of the stick on pretty much every big call?
