F***ing refs
I'm sure they got their marching orders from the league office.
I don't think it's fixed like WWE, but I think it's clear some at the top are putting their thumb on the scale. It's more of a game within the game, but for me it's ruining the actually game.So why do you watch if you're convinced that it's fixed from the top on down? What's the point?
I will actually give you credit for this one. People need to stop insisting on saying "the fix is in" in regards of saying that we are the only team that ever gets bad calls. Watch other games around the league and you'll see we're not alone. ****ty refs are everywhere this year.It's funny... Every fanbase thinks the NFL front office and the refs are out to get him.
Broncos and Jets fans say NFL favors rules for Brady.
Patriots fans say... well, we all know that.
Every loss in the NFL is at least partially because the refs screwed them according to the fans.
Every team deals with bad calls. Each year, one team has to be the most penalized. Sometimes it's the good teams. Even with the refs, this team could've been 12-0 right now if they made a few better coaching decisions and a few better plays. At the end of the day, we could've still won and didn't. There is no excuse for the Eagles game AT HOME. Our "quality depth" at linebacker got gashed by CJ, our coaches decided to put a rookie in at punt returner in the snow… I can't be the only one who expected him to fumble it in this game as soon as I saw him back there.
Yeah, blame the refs a little for the Broncos won. It happens sometimes. But more than the refs, blame the coaches and players for that loss.
Normally I would agree with you, but there are some anomalies that are occurring at an odd rate this year.It's funny... Every fanbase thinks the NFL front office and the refs are out to get him.

Last time I checked, none of those teams spent an entire offseason and two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl watching the league office conduct a witch hunt against their team and its best player. And last time I checked, the league didn't have an ongoing lawsuit trying to tear down said player, who also happened to be an MVP frontrunner, which would be something of a public image disaster if he won.
I generally agree that blaming the refs is a loser's way of rationalizing defeat. But it doesn't take Albert ****ing Einstein to realize that we're dealing with a unique situation here, and also with a uniquely petty/vindictive/incompetent commissioner.
And oh yeah, just by the way, the competence of the referees themselves is also very much in question as part of the Brady case. The refs' union has a vested interest in the appearance that they did their jobs and that Brady was in fact guilty.
Every team's fan base don't have the actual stats to back their claim... Honestly it doesn't surprise me the Pats lead in that category. The way the NFL* lied their way through deflategate makes it plausible.It's funny... Every fanbase thinks the NFL front office and the refs are out to get him.

Well, you asked for it!Do shoot me, just asking a question.
But, do they refs throw the flag after the big play has happened or before/during (typically)?
