I don't think they care.

WHAT ELSE COULD GRONK DO?

JUST LIKE GIANTS 13 MAN ON THE FIELD...THIS WAS ON PURPOSE AND A GAMEPLAN!!!!!!

 

[FrodoBagginz]

Although the refs screwed us over at the end, we really beat ourselves. Talib and Mankin's nonsense in the first half that cost us points against us. Ridley fumbling that cost us a minimum 3 points. We made too many costly mistakes the first half.

Congratulations to the Refs for handing the Panthers the game.

BS call on Mankins. BS call on McCourty who was the one being held.

All the NON-CALLS that should have been made against Carolina for their O-Linemen tackling Pats D-line and LBers.

And the "best" non-call was picking up the flag when it was CLEAR AS DAY that Gronkowski was interfered with on the last play of the game.

Don't forget the ridiculous block in the back call in the first possession.

THE ******* refs have truly ****ed us over this season. Absolutely sickening.

Seriously this game was another fluke. The Ridley fumble. The bull**** Newton scramble on 3rd down. The dumb personal foul penalties. The Patriots are the better team so this really angers me.

 

[chasa]

riddleys fumble which took 3 points off the board may have cost us the game ultimately. would have been down 1 inside the 20 with 5 seconds to go kick a FG and its GG.

Riddley is a liability.

The PI on Dobson's defender at the 36 was questionable. Cannon almost ended a guy's season and didn't get a flag. These things happen.

If you lose 'because of the refs' then you didn't do enough to win.

Dobson was held then turned ... easy call (even if it isnt called sometimes)

Cannon got pushed down and rolled which we wouldn't even be talking about except it unluckily was into someones knee.

Please don't exuate that to a drive continuing call where Olsen is holding McCourty then a thrown flag then pick up on the last play in the end zone giving us a 1st and goal.

The Panthers deserve a lot of credit. Ridley fumbled points away. Carolina didn't turn the ball over. They answered our momentum. They deserved the win.

But that non-call at the end...I don't know. To say the ball was uncatchable is a bit of a guess. For one thing, Brady could have meant to throw it earlier to a different spot but the illegal contact/pass interference may have prevented that.

I hope the league doesn't let that crew anywhere near the play-offs.

But the Carolina Panthers are for real and Cam Newton extended some drives with some incredible plays. There was the 3rd and long where he made 5 Patriots miss and eventually ended in a TD. He proved a lot to his doubters tonight and Carolina is a legit play-off team. Congrats to them.

How many times do you see a holding penalty called on a DB 20 yards away from where the ball was thrown, and yet they pick up the flag because Gronk was what? Maybe three yards from where the INT happened? Bull*****.

Fnord - You must have watched a different game because the PI was not questionable. And the claim that Cannon almost ended a guy's season is laughable. Or do you actually believe Gruden when he called it a "leg whip" when in actuality it was just Cannon rolling to his left and onto Johnson's knee.

Seriously, you need to use your eyes and not Gruden's blathering. He was wrong on just about every call tonight. Including the one where he claimed McCourty was holding Olsen when it was clear as day that Olsen had McCourty's Jersey just behind his right armpit...

 

[Luxusdk]

Instead of looking at calls made or not, I point at Josh McD!!!

3 and 1 on the 9 - Been moveing the ball easy with Blound and he cast to Dobson, FG instead of a new sets of Downs.. Thats for me bonehead playcalling ruined the game...

Can't blame the D - Can't blame the O.. Refs we can blame. but it won't help.

So Josh McD NeXT time take the new sets of Downs instead of a FG

 

[Ozymandias]

Bear hugging someone and impeding their ability to make a play on the ball isn't pass interference anymore apparently.

Oh well. We're onto to Denver.

 

[patsfan-1982]

they need it this win with Denver coming to town next week

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

dilfer young and lewis are almost besides themselves about that BS call

and this from a ref

Jim Daopoulos @RefereeJimD

That is a foul and should have been penalized... The pass was catchable...

 

[Delicate Genius]

Steve Young going off on the blown non-call.

 

[chasa]

so If not for 2 Ref blown calls at the end of games the patriots would be 9-1

 

[PATRlOT]

What I hate even more is the fact Carolina is absolute GARBAGE and we made them look elite with our defense murdered by injuries.

 

[Joker]

Looking forward to the Jetdell mid week apology for this latest travesty...you all saw it...anybody who argues that wasn't clear PI that WAS CALLED on Kuechley needs his space alien card revoked.

 

[Tunescribe]

A non-call is one thing. Picking up the flag after throwing it when a receiver is MUGGED is inexcusable. Purely a home-team call. Totally. Gronk conceivably could've made a play on that ball if he wasn't bear-hugged.
