Were the Patriots robbed?

4) The clock running on the Patriots last drive in regulation

What? There's a pretty significant difference between close calls (or no-calls) that went against you and just not knowing the rules. The refs got it absolutely right. The clock was started as it was supposed to be. Is the rulebook way too complicated? Sure, but that's a different matter.

I was wondering if Hoodie would post here.

I disagreed with some of the calls but something has to be as egregious as the whistle that stopped the Gronk TD in the Bills game for me to actually complain.

oh boo-frickin-hoo, the team with the golden horseshoe up its ass got a few unlucky bounces.  Was there a bad call that allowed CJ Anderson to run 60 yards in overtime?

The Patriots have zero ground to complain about bad calls, and no one in the national media is saying anything of the sort.

Pats get plenty of bad calls... most of the time they overcome them.

Bingo.

Yes, you are. Welcome back!

Look, I'm calling conspiracy.

I don't think I've ever seen a game like that where the refs deliberately tried to push one team for a victory so much.

Even if the clock was run properly, what about the other calls?

Referees should not make bad calls just because one team gets lucky breaks (for example, bounces).

I am here to speak the truth, even if I dislike it.

Look, I hate the Patriots as much as anybody else does, but they got robbed there.

Hopefully, they lose another game later in the season without that kind of stuff.

So are you saying that if a team gets a lucky bounce the ref should make a bad call against them to even things out?

That was the best one of the night, fucking hilarious.

what?  How did you twist my statement to what you asked?  I'd love to ride on that train of thought.

You sure?  I encourage you to rewind your NFL highlight reel to Giants vs Patriots a few weeks ago and reconsider your statement.

No one else is claiming they got robbed.  Not one, other than you.  I don't understand why you keep saying that.

Everybody here hates the Patriots, Brian.  This includes me.  But I don't let my emotions get in the way of my objectivity.

I did what you said.  I watched the highlight reel and there was one call in that game.  It may have been correct.  It literally could have done either way.  I thought it was a touchdown, but the NFL said it was not.

The Patriots Broncos featured four bad calls that all went one teams way in the last half quarter and overtime.  I have not heard anybody post anything to say those calls were correct.  Hopefully somebody can do that so I can change my statement.  Instead, all anybody is posting here is about how the Patriots deserved those bad calls because they are lucky with things unrelated to officiating.

I live in NE.  I hate the Patriots probably more than anybody on this board.  I resent that Miami has to play them twice every year and has to be in the same division with them because it's not fair.  It makes Miami's chances to make the playoffs much less.

I resent Brady's credit for the first three Superbowls, which he was more like Troy Aikman. 

I resent how teams just roll over and play dead for them and hand them gift win after gift win.

I am here to be objective.  I am here to tell it how it is.

Right now, I am suspecting a conspiracy.

Why else would they suspend somebody for four games for such a minor infraction as deflating footballs?

Why else would the refs literally hand the game to the Broncos?

I am the only here who is presenting facts to support my case.  The rest of you are just talking. 

[Tenshot13]

^ Holy shit you are clueless.

You're talking out both sides of your mouth.  You say you hate them, then come up with ridiculous reasons to defend them.  Deflating footballs is not a minor infraction, it's cheating.  The refs didn't hand the game over to the Broncos, that's you being paranoid.  You present NO FACTS, just speculation and theories. 

After a google search, I found 2 people who said there was something fishy.  That was on PAGE 3 of my google results.  Skip Bayless and Steven A. Smith, and both of them are about as clueless as you.
