LB, wouldn't you agree that good teams at the very least get the benefit of the doubt more so than bad teams. Like if Gronkowski is attempting to land two feet in bounds as opposed to Chandler, the refs would be more apt to assume Gronk did get them in and Chandler didn't. While I'm not certain there is an overt conspiracy that the refs help teams like the Pats, although I could easily be convinced, I do think human intuition comes to play. When good players are making good plays on good teams, they get the benefit of the doubt. When crappy players from crappy teams are makin crappy plays, the refs assume they suck an couldn't possibly have made that play.
