When a call goes the Patriots way it is said they own the referees , even after timeouts and replays. When Gronk is held with no calls as a retired official said: It was missed. years ago the Patriots while leading sacked Kenny Stabler on 4th down and got a roughing call and was bogus. It kept them from the Superbowl. Earth to mars - all teams get good and bad calls. that is the way it is. If your team keep losing it may be because they aren't very good.
That's the common-sense angle. But do you implicitly trust N.Y. league office central control giving the final word on replays?If the NFL was looking for fix game outcomes to boost ratings for future games, no way either the Steelers or Saints are losing last weekend. The NFL is not capable of pulling off a fix and keeping it forever quiet. Blame bad calls on the real reason for bad calls: bad refs and their human errors.
In what universe is Clete Blakeman an AFC Championship Game quality NFL ref???????? The 3 worst refs are Triplette, Blakeman, and Bogar, and two of them have now been in charge of playoff games, the first one to predictably "hilarious" results.
May God have mercy on our souls.
On the bright side, it means he won't be doing the Super Bowl if we make it.
Not really. The rationale was that it would be faster, which seems not to be the case.That's the common-sense angle. But do you implicitly trust N.Y. league office central control giving the final word on replays?
Huh. Well they’ve sure given us the benefit with very close calls this year, so I’d say yea.That's the common-sense angle. But do you implicitly trust N.Y. league office central control giving the final word on replays?

They seem to also have abandoned the irrefutable evidence standard. I am actually fine with that, though. Let the replay determine what the replay determines, and not say "if the refs initially decided this, then I have to go with it, but if the refs initially decided that, then I have to go with that". If you're 60% sure that a guy didn't legally catch a ball, rule that he didn't legally catch the ball.
Just do it a whole lot faster!
Sweep the leg!

The only issue I have with blakeman is that his crews are always ticky tack with their penalties. But this may be to our benefit since jacksonville is one of the more penalized teams in the league this year.
