Brady would have 5 Rings if the refs didn't completely screw the pats over last year and this year.

pass interference calls, no touchback, "face guarding", non calls, bull**** offensive pass interference calls, bull**** roughing the passer calls.

I realize it sounds ridiculous, but if we Beat Denver last year and the Colts this year, the superbowl would have been ours both years. And most people on this site would agree i think

The Refs are ******* bull****. I don't even remember the last time we got a call in the playoffs that was questionable and went on OUR side.

The should not be allowed to **** up like that and then say "oh well my fault" 6 days later like it's no big deal.

this is two godamn years in a row they do that for the Colts and it finally worked this year.

If i didn't love this team so much and put so much godamn energy in them id stop watching this bull**** league.

I think Brady would be the first to tell you that you need some breaks to go your way when you win the Superbowl. Sometimes those breaks don't go your way, and you realize how hard it is to win the SB, and how amazing this championship run has been by this team.

Keegs

i cannot think of any breaks besides the tuck rule.

i honestly can't think of any questionable calls or non-calls in our favor

I think if you asked the teams the Pats beat, they could come up with some calls that they think decided the game. Or, they say something like "if only our team had done x and y instead of z, we would have won the game!" like I keep thinking about the fact that the Pats had the ball and could have killed the clock to end the game but couldn't do it.

My point is there are always things that could've turned a game, and sometimes it works for your team and sometimes it doesn't. My take on officiating is that there are always going to be bad calls. In my opinion, did it decide the game over other factors? No. I still think the Pats had the chance to win the game, and they couldn't do it. Congratulate the Colts, and move on and root for the Bears The Pats will be fine, and back hungry next year.

The refs weren't the exact reason we lost the game. The game was in our hands, we blew it. Sometimes, you just got to accept that your team got beat. Move on.

The questionable calls always seem to favor the opposition by about 80% to 20%. It should be about 50% - 50%.

Unfortunately we just need to suck it up and deal. It's like being Asian and trying to get into a good college -- the deck is stacked against you and it takes and even greater performance to overcome the bias.

If you look at it objectively it is completely different. The Pats benefitted many times in their super bowl runs. They could easily have no rings. You can't have it both ways. The Pats' db's got away with muggings against the Rams, colts (twice), and the Titans. This doesn't even bring in other questionable calls, i.e. Tuck rule. Get over it. The Pats gave up 32 points in a half. They got beat plain and simple.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda.


Get over it. It's only a game.

Fuel for the fire.
