Referee NFL Conspiracy

[upstater1]

Yes, the Patriots have been playing bad the last few weeks, playing bad today as well...

But the OPI on Keyshawn Martin after the long passing play? Are you kidding me?

We have Dolphins draped all over Patriots, giving them full body chucks 10-15 yards downfield with absolutely no call. Gronk in particular has people grabbing his arm when he's going up for a catch, or getting two hand chucks when the ball is coming.

We've seen this over and over all year.

I have fought this urge for a very long time to say the NFL has colluded with the refs to fix things Wrold Wrestling style, but I'm at the end now.

Someone, lease, what explains these calls?

 

[LightSkinSmurf]

Lol, couldn't wait until after the game huh..

Since you're reading responding, what's your (lame) explanation?

 

[VectorPrime]

We sucked today in literally every single way. Dont talk about the refs.

 

[NE_Zealot]

Refs have nothing to do with this clusterfukk. Pats offense was dross, absolute ****e. Defense is the only phase that made an effort today. Refs didn't make our oline a turnstile either.

I wrote about this season. The whole season, OPI.

If you're not going to offer an explanation, then don't bother even posting.

I can believe that that slimmy toad goodell having lost in court has let it be known that he wants the refs to make sure the pats are scrutinized more closely since its know that they're cheats. That call on watson was alice in wonderland like, and there have been a lot of those this year.

Instead of calling it World Wrestling style, it should be called NBA style. Tim Donaghy has explained how they do it and the NBA has been doing it for a long time. It's not the number of calls, it's a few timely calls. It's not a coincidence that the bad calls against the Pats are always on game changing plays. A short pass on first down, no big deal. A 40 yard pass completion on third down, makes a huge difference. Sure, the Pats have played poorly today, but it would have played out a lot differently without that phantom call on Martin. We have seen this crap all season and it was dialed up in the Denver game. We saw it last week on the Bulter PI.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Gronkowski is a NFL superstar and gets no calls when opposing players push, grab and pull while hanging on him like a jungle gym.

Yeah, whatever they lost because they sucked today but it is kind of fishy still regarding the big TE

 

[chasa]

seriously ZERO consistency in this game.

The dolphins picked, pushed off, put cheap shots, held, face masked, the entire ****ing game. the patriots breathed wrong and they got hit with a flag.

just incredibly shady ********, on top of that the patriots played like hot garbage.

I have to say that is a great description and explanation of exactly what has been going on. There have just been to many untimely calls this year on big plays. If the offense had been better today we would have seen more of them. Same goes for the defense, to many times the defense was going to get off the field and had phantom PIs or holding calls. i first noticed this in the dallas game. We saw muliple flags against the pats on big offensive and defensive plays that kept dallas in the game.

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

the Denver game removed all doubt. It's NBA style now.

Goodell is the greatest monster in history (NFL history anyway).

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

That isn't OPI based on what the accepted norm for receiver actions for separation are. The single handed push is so common as to make OPI occur on every play. If they were to call this penalty today under the same circumstances in all other games then OPI is going to be called a lot.

The Refs called it here because they have been conditioned in some way to look for it/call it against the Patriots. No other reasonable explanation for this continued full season outlier...

 

[PatsGuy]

You do believe that their was a 2nd shooter in the Kennedy assassination? The grassy knoll? Yes!

How easy is it to throw a *** when Martin grabs a very long pass for a big gain on 3rd down. You see the catch, throw the flag. Voila. Big gain gone. All it takes really is a predisposition to throw a flag against the Patriots, and that's exactly what is going on.

Eff that! It has to be demoralizing when you KNOW the league is out to f*ck you.

 

[IcyPatriot]

Lol, couldn't wait until after the game huh..

Patriots did not lose today due to the refs ...

 

[Joey007]

Lol that was a push off by Martin and I saw it right away. Take off your Tin foil hat for a second and stop making excuses like our team can't make any mistake without it being someone else's fault.

Someone has his tin foil hat on a little too tight!
