Anyone have more quotes to add?

Amazing to read them...

MODs - Looks like there are some more threads on the same subject. Can you consider merging these threads please? Thanks,

I am reading all the national stories and it is simply disgusting. I cannot believe anyone is blaming the officiating. Where were the freaking flags for offensive holding all night? How about the holding of our receivers? The call on Watson WAS BLATANT HOLDING. Right off the line he was being held. Good God, this is never gonna end...it is going to be something every freaking week.

This from the Baltimore Sun:

Quote:

"Cornerback Samari Rolle said an official repeatedly called him "boy," which set off Scott at the end of the game. Scott declined to comment before leaving the locker room."

"You got to be smarter than that," Billick said. "You can't be a dumb football player."

Interesting when a team turns its focus towards the officiating, it's the kiss of death. There's no way you're going to have the confidence to win if your perception is that the officiating is favoring the other team. That's purely a loser's mentality by diverting your focus from beating the other team to something that you can control only by playing within the rules.

Just out of curiosity, which calls did they think were wrong? The only one they might have had a gripe about was Gaffney's TD...then again, does anyone think the Pats weren't going to score a TD at the end?

The Ravens could have easily rung up over 200 yards in penalties without any ticky-tack calls involved whatsoever. It looked like rugby out there.

That's what I was thinking, that even if they disallowed Gaffney's TD with the 2 Scott penalties it was 1st and goal at the 1 or 2 anyway.

Anyway, the only postgame quote that matters is Tom Brady's: sure, there were some bad calls in the 4th, but for the other 3 quarters we had some bad ones. So it kind of evened out.
