If anyone cares to rewind previous championship games, they'll see the Patriots were on the wrong end of a lot of calls by the refs. Especially the games against Pittsburgh, I can recall catches by receivers ruled incomplete, and fumbles that were clear ruled down. Look at the Denver game last year and all the calls against the Patriots, or the bad calls in the Chargers game (fumbles ruled incomplete passes). Over the last few years, I've seen most judgement calls go against the Patriots. The tuck rule was also a judgement call, ultimately, and in the end the Patriots prevailed on that one, but you should know that the Patriots record was directly impacted that year by a loss to the Jets because of the tuck rule. Our playoff path would have been entirely different had we won that game.
No one here is complaining that Indy won unfairly. They deserved to win the game. We're talking about the NFL's attempts to whitewash bad refereeing. You shouldn't talk in that case, because your organization whines about the refs more than any other in professional football.
Bingo, we got bingo!
