BTW

AFC East “trash“ division is the winningest division in NFL through week 7

One Thing I noticed though, Our division and the Texans haven't played many division games compared to the rest of the AFC. So the AFC East record will come down a little as we beat up on each other. But It still blows the BS narrative that our division is soft.

Check out Alford's aggressive play to blow up the lead block and prevent a TD:

Funny, yet embarrassing for Alford. I'm surprised his instinct didn't take over and decide to grab a hold of Gronk like he does to every downfield receiver.

That's crazy! He already got paid, and he still didn't try to blow the play up.

Can we stop with the 'refs tried to steal the game' thing. It's ludicrous. There are bad calls in every game. Reality says that the Pats gained first downs via penalty 3 times last night. The Falcons a big fat 0 times. The Pats had 8 flags called on them, the Falcons had 6. There were calls either way that were probably wrong, but there was nothing that even remotely influenced that game. Unless you want to count the roughing the passer call on the Falcons when TB threw his pick in the end zone.

Good point, but I think there were some obvious NON calls that could’ve hurt the Pats. On both of Ryan’s long scrambles, there was obvious offensive holdings, to the point of tackling the DE. (Marsh on one play and I think Flowers on another), that it was embarrassing that they weren’t called. To then call Shaq Mason on a phantom holding call later in the game, such a bad call that Patriot hater Collingsworth was baffled by the call, you can pretty much say there was bad refereeing last night. The so called offense interference on a great falling Gronk catch was another example.

Not saying the refereeing was skewered in the Falcon’s favor, just saying a bad job by the refs. Luckily it was a blowout.

That offensive pi on Gronk was HORRIBLE. If that was a wr it gets called 0 out of 1000 times. But to ignore Cooks getting mauled on 3rd down and then immediately flag Gronk for pi on the next series makes it worse. Also horrible calls on Solder Mason and 2 defensive holding calls on running plays is lol.
