I agree the refs missed some calls. I'm not disputing that. I just don't share the same philosophy of blaming everyone else for things some players did.
You can over analyse all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that the pats keep committing dumb penalties that they shouldn't be. They can play a lot better. And as good as they are, that says a lot.
Who is blaming everyone else for the things the players did? Not me. I didn't say every call that the refs made was a bad one. I just pointed out the ones they missed and had wrong.
Your claim that I am over-analyzing this is a joke. I broke down the plays on the calls that happened. Your original claim was that the Pats were lacking discipline with all the penalties. I refuted that with actual proof of what happened. You disagreed and offered nothing in return. You've still offered nothing, in all honesty.
The only "dumb" penalties the Pats took today were the 2 on special teams. The one on Chung and the one on Bolden. Both were illegal blocks in the back.. Chungs was marginal since it was the shoulder. Bolden's wasn't. He flat out hit the guy from behind and took him down..
By comparison, the Lions took truly dumb penalties in the form of the penalty on Mosley for striking Aiken in the head with his helmet and Lucas for throwing Zach Moore to the ground and then deciding to drop onto Moore. Those are dumb penalties.
It would seem to me that your philosophy is to make blanket statements without any facts and then accuse others of "over-analyzing things". If you want to actually talk about what happened at the game instead of generalizing without using any facts, let me know. It will be refreshing..
