I thought it would be interesting to see how many people think the league riggs it for the Pats to win.
I put a yes or no option, although here’s my opinion on it.
I voted no, but I do think there a couple factors that makes the officials flag happy when it comes to The opponents playing the Pats.
1. Home field. I don’t have any stats to back this up , but Pats usually play at home in the playoffs and they probably get more calls because of that. In basketball it’s a proven fact that home teams get more calls. Not sure about football, this is just an estimated guess.
2. Brady’s reputation. Any 50/50 call is most likely going to go Brady’s way , especially on pass interference calls or roughing the passer. In saying that, it doesn’t explain the lack of calls against the Pats as a whole.
So what do you guys think overall?
Do you think the league wants the Pats to win because of higher ratings or whatever the reason may be? Or do you mostly agree with me and think they are very lucky as well?
