Cookiemonster Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Agreed, I think that the NFL got somewhat of a black eye for all of the bad calls in the playoffs, and Goodell didn't want another one. I am not saying that he told them to swallow the whistle, but I bet he advised them to back off a little. The more flags they throw, the more they leave themselves open to criticism. I thought that there were a number of non calls, especially pass interfernce on the Pats,but it was generally going both ways. Those shouldn't be calls in the first place, and it was refreshing to just watch them play. I thought for sure they were going to call a late hit on Brady, on the play that the Giants got the saftey, the fact that the didn't, and then flagged him for intentional grounding, I knew that this game was going to be called a bit different.
