No Excuses

Was there even 1 call against the Donkeys in that 4th quarter?

This thread can burn in hell.

This is the kind of game that should inspire national reporters to break down the film and point out every single instance of horrible officiating that took place. The league should be shamed, again.

Sadly, it won't happen.

****ing exactly. It won't happen because it's the Patriots. Why cant a billion dollar industry train refs instead of having "seasonal" employees that don't know jack ****. Don't even get me started on the specific Gronk OPI targeting.

It's amazing what calls the refs get away with when they call them on the Pats. Its a ****ing disgrace.

Not one of Mcdaniels best called games

Almost without exception, the offensive play calling was freakin' brilliant.

He blew it in the 4th qtr

It's not an excuse, it's the goddamn truth.

Thing is regardless of what happened or who is left to play, the fact is there is a game next week. BB will come up with a game plan for whomever is available to play. There is no crying in football.

I just hope the reports about Gronk's injury not being severe are true. Same goes for HT. Really need those guys.

Yes, I think this is a good way to look at things. Of course we got screwed, and royally at that, but like you said life goes on.

We haven't lost a "real" game (week 17 vs BUF aside due to resting starters) in over a calendar year. The team is currently a game up on HFA with five to play, and if Rob is okay and can come back in a few weeks, I'll be quite grateful.

I am too busy trying to get over feeling like the season was in jeopardy when he was down on the field, than worrying about one regular season loss with a bunch of replacements. Yes, it sucks though.

The image that keeps playing in my head is the ball going through Chung's grasp with around 1:50 left or so (unless my memory is faulty). Thomas batted the ball into the air, and Chung had both hands on the football. If he just hangs on, it's game over since Denver had no timeouts. They could have run the clock off and called it a night. Had trouble sleeping, thinking about it all.

This one is going to sting for a long time.
