I was fine with the reffing. I was worried early, the Ryan PI followed by no call on Gronk--and both were high-impact plays, a long pass to DT and a 3rd down pass to Gronk. But after that I thought the refs called a pretty decent, pretty even game.

As I pointed out before..
Was it me or when Brady was mailed and got rid of the ball it was clearly intentional grounding twice..? So the "officials are against us" mantra doesn't work..
Great? No. They were not great. Saying so is just ridiculous.
They screwed the replay review of Amendola's catch. The CBS Replay clearly showed Amendola with control and his knee down on the ground while in contact with the Denver Safety.
They didn't call the egregious holding of Gronk by Talib in the end zone that kept Gronk from going up and getting a TD.
They didn't call Ward for his hold on Gronk.
They didn't call the numerous hands to the face by the Denver D that helped push Kline back on several occasions.
No, I checked.. On two plays there wasn't a receiver remotely close.. And he was almost on the ground when he got rid of the ball..It is you. Every time Brady threw it away there was a receiver in the general area. Officials are told to err on the side of caution here - none of those passes you are talking about were even close to grounding (and that's part of why the grounding call in SB 46 really got some people upset). The intent of the caution in the rule is to make sure QBs don't get injured.
I would disagree, I thought they were fine all game. That being said I really didn't understand the call for amendola, it did look clear on cbs that he both had the ball and was down.Great? No. They were not great. Saying so is just ridiculous.
