¿Porque no los dos?

Good point, but the running is something we can do something about, the refs are NYNFL's creation.

 

[reflexblue]

Great win against the saints and reffs. Seriously i have not seen such poor offciating in almost Fifty years when the pats played oakland in a playoff game.in 1976. I think the head ref Ben Dreith was never allowed to officiate another pats game. The owners really need to do something about it, no fan should have to watch such trash, never mind wagering money

 

[PP2]

Really frustrating game to watch and as others have said, the officiating was beyond horrendous.

Kudos to Vrabel for that heads-up move to challenge that Boutte was downed inbounds on that last catch. That took time off the clock and got us to the 2 minute warning.

 

[Triumph]

At least we’re not talking about the officiating.

Douglas was robbed.

Streratore could not see a penalty anywhere.

 

[Kdo5]

And McDaniels

Didn’t think he was bad outside of the 3rd and 7 handoff. Cant totally abandon running the ball this season.

 

[farn]

That reminds me—how’s Mahomes doing?

TOURCH ALERT !

 

[KCSVEN]

What was that stat that only Brady and Maye have both accomplished?

Did Maye do it this game?

No because he’s 69.2% completion and needed 70%
However he had over 100 rating, over 200 yards and one other stat I forget for 5 straight game which only like 3-4 guys ever did under the age of 23, all greats
Have to find the exact stat and post it

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

I don't complain about officiating often, but those were 2 of the worst OPI calls I've ever seen.
Our running game is horrific and really needs to get much, much better.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Would have loved a blowout where everything went great, but this was a good win for a young team staring adversity . Overcame refs, even better

Defense buckled down in half 2. Run game is still a huge concern. Pop came alive

 

[Delicate Genius]

As a football historian, I can confidently say the penalty that wiped out the 61-yard TD was the worst call that stadium has ever seen.

Makes Maye’s ascension even more impressive : doing it w crap running game.

 

[Triumph]

Boutte is just like advertised in his draft report.

 

[ZoisKing]

Massive day for Pop with 132 yards and 2 TDs!

Maybe he gets 70%+ with better refs?

 

[Uptown]

1) Crazy how we could easily be 6-0 right now.
2) Jones, Boutte, Pop, Diggs & Maye held **** down.
3) We need some playmakers at LB/S.
4) Let’s trade for Hendrickson.
5) Maye is certainly an MayeVP candidate. Told you haters!
6) I can’t see us losing to TEN (Vrabel factor).
7) We need to establish the run game soon.
8) It seems as if Davis gets beat often, but he’s only allowing receiving 29 ypg.
9) Drake Maye
10) Drake Maye
11) Drake Maye
12) Drake
13) Maye
14) Worst officiated game of all time.
15) We’re going to the playoffs.

Bad refs get people talking and in the "impression economy", that's money in the bank, especially when the view "it all evens out" is so prevalent.

 

[Brotherblues]

The Saints are significantly better than their record indicates, plenty of grit on that team. Overall the less said about the officiating in this one the better

I think it needs to be said. A lot. It was that bad.

 

[TommyD4207]

CBS sent their #2 announce team to this garbage game.

 

[State]

Did the refs get hired last week without an eye test?

Maye was tremendous. Saints aren't a good team. But Spencer Rattler was the best QB the Pats have faced all season.

The fumble caused by Christian Ellis on Juwan Johnson was THE play of the game.
