Based on the timing of this question, my first thought was this: exactly which side of that invisible border in Connecticut are you on?

I got no problem with the officials. There is always going to be some PI calls, you'll disagree with, but overall I think NFL officials are very good.

Also there are far more rules and RULE CHANGES in the NFL then Basketball, Baseball or Hockey. Also the NFL Refs are only Part Time unlike other leagues.

I think they stink all around. Last year was pretty bad and this year seems the same. Well what I think is bad is pretty much average these days. Not just Pats games but all games. Just have to live with it and deal.

Very very very bad, and not just against the Pats. I've seen absolutely atrocious calls going both ways.

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."

i would agree, refs have been horrible,

its as if they are completely untrained in their jobs, and are put together before the games by people on the stands, and these ppl share the widespread hatred of the Patriots


the only way the refs and their calls make any sense to me throughout this season is if you believe the following happened: the league send out a secret memo to all the NFL ref crews and told them to help the team the pats are playing against because they are such a good team that games will be blowouts and not interesting for the NFL product unless the refs step in and help the other team out a bit.....

if the above were true, than the refs' actions this year would make absolutely perfect sense

The first three there were some head scratchers but today apparently the Raiders offensive lineman had carte blanche to hold at will. Some of the take downs were unreal. I don't usually complain about the officials. Today was the most I have since the Ravens 07 game where literally you could have flagged them every play.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.
