This is true. The stigma of Brady getting preferential treatment from the officials started with this game, and even know it was comical to me that the media jumped on that, dispite the obvious hypocrisy that a whole team was whining about someone else whining. Plus no other team but the Ravens ever loses a game, and has more excuses for it then them. But,the fans of other teams have jumped on this bogus myth.
Even though the numbers of Roughing the Passer calls awarded to Brady don't even come close to proving this point, it doesn't stop the perception.
The bottom line is this.....I went to the Carolina - Jacksonville game this weekend. At one point in the game, the whole stadium erupted with cheers. The game wasn't in action so I was a little confused.....Turns out, they showed a highlight of Brady throwing and interception in the Buffalo game. Its the one thing that united both Panther and Jaguar fans is their irrational hatred of the New England Patriots.
The point being, if anyone in the media or another team throws any baseless, bullspit claim about Brady, or the Patriots thats paints them in a less then positive light, it will be taken as gospel to the rest of the country outside (and apparently recently, even inside) New England. It's just the way it is now.
Also, as a side note to no one, its also why I find all the negetivity recently at this site so disheartening. Cause at a point in time when the rest of the country is cheering for us to fail, now would be a good time for real fans of the team to stick together and root them on....Instead we're too spoiled to enjoy what we got.
