See this is where I'm on the fence.
Money wise, do you want a Manning led Broncos team to get annihilated in your 50th Super Bowl?
Or do you want your nemesis to potentially go back to back, but give you a game for the ages?
Knowing the league, they'll take option #1 just to spite the Pats. I have no doubt about that, which means they need to take the refs out of the equation and not let them effect the outcome or give the Broncos gifts, AKA not letting rookies catch punts in the snow or throwing at the end of the game instead of milking the clock.
Agreed. the only way to get the refs out of the equation is by putting this game away early, and KEEPING it away. Pats have a tendency to score a lot points early on, just to let opponents back in the game.
