How worried are you about the Refs?

[Observer]

NFL is a joke, let's just make rules as you go along. Why not make rules in game too...

 

[Patters]

The refs too are on a national stage. They didn't come out of Deflategate smelling like roses, either. I suspect they will try extra hard not to be a source of controversy.

Supposedly they were using these signals in the NFCCG and AFCCG

If logic is applicable, this will be most well refereed game in NFL history. Let's be realistic. The NFL has a figurative dump truck full of manure that is going to be dumped on their headquarters when the soft ball thing goes down. There is no way they come out of this without stinking up the joint. They will most assuredly be doing their best to avoid any perception of screw ups in this game. This game will have more people looking at it with a magnifying glass than any sports event in history, would be my guess. They know it. If they screw this game up they know the public will be satisfied will nothing less than mass suicide of all NFL management level employees. I promise, they're going to try to get it right.

Now that doesn't mean they will. I mean, what have they done right the last 10 years? Goodell doesn't know what the heck he's doing and he has surrounded himself with yes men. When a dummy hires yes men, that means they're going to be just as, if not more so, dummy as he.

No. The only thing the public wants more than the NFL getting its act together is seeing the Patriots go down. Its no coincidence that the Div and AFC games both had multiple atrocious calls, all going against the Pats. This Super Bowl will make the '05 SB look like the paragon of fair officiating (I'd be very glad if I'm wrong on this).

However, the Pats will still win. They're far too talented, healthy, and pissed. While Seahawks are greatly overrated (yes, even their D). Pats 41 - 24.

With this latest news... It's what I feared worst. We are gonna have to destroy them to win. The refs are definitely gonna be less favorable towards us. We are engaged in a battle with one of their own!!! How can they not be!?

I am surprised at the poll results...I thought it would be 50% just doing their jobs and 25% worse then Steelers/Seahawks. Goes to show just how much faith in the product from fans has been lost due to gross negligence.

Im worried about Browner being targeted for penalties, more so than usual. Hes an easy target.

He is good for 2-3 DH a game...we have known this since week 4...i don't expect this to change

This will get lost given today's psi revelation's but in other line of questioning Vinovich said he told the Ravens who not to cover in those ineligible formations. Blandino said, "",we won't do that again and Vinovich said, "We won't?" Yup. I'm worried.
