Re: OT: Raiders/Pats - Bad roughing the passer call

You're lucky (depending on how you look at it). I tried to get tickets, but they ran out just as I got within a Brady to Faulk screen pass distance to the ticket window. I watched it on TV, and I do recall Villapiano doing his thing as he always did. Of course, Hendricks, Sistrunk and the hated Jack Tatum were on that team also. Worst Patriots outcome, well, up there with last year's AFCCG, ever. Probably the worst come to think of it, since we still had the 3 SB titles to fall back on after last year's debacle.
