How about we talk about the titans inability to move the ball, they couldnt run, they couldnt convert 3rd downs. They got out coached, out played and took a beating on the field. Yet some how you think the decker call and whatever other bad call was the diffrence in the game. Tennessee was never winning this game. It just wasnt happening. They where not a good football team. They do play by the same rules, you just need an excuse to taint greatness. Sad really Might as well stop watching That's not the point as the Pats are obviously a much better team. Brady and Belichick are the GOAT no question. The point is game after game they seem to get all the questionable calls go their way at critical moments. When it becomes a pattern it makes you wonder. I'm trying to decipher that the refs, being human beings, tend to give the calls to great players or teams (like the NBA refs favoring MJ) especially when they play at home, or they have a more nefarious agenda such as rigging the game to the Pats advantage. My rational side tells me it's the former and if it was rigged they wouldn't make it so fricken obvious. However, after them giving the Pats a first down after waiving off a false start on a punt when the game is still in question lends evidence to the latter. 3

The Titans TD catch in the fist half the dude had to catch it with one hand because the Patsies** DB was holding his other arm. No flag. Calls against Titans in first half were HUGE. Nullifying a big first down and giving the Patsies** a free first down after the refs changed their mind. The refs call a few inconsequential ones on Patsies** like on first down, or they start after punt 5 yards back just to make it look fair. Even Tony Romo was figuring it out. He even called out the "Gillette Clock" Nice of the clock operator to stop the clock before the guy called time out. I'm tellin' ya, they're tainted. I have ZERO respect for their "greatness". If they had to play by the same rules as everyone else, they'd be about 1/2 as good as they are IMHO. Whatever. Hopefully Bill Bellyache quits soon and we can get back to real football in the AFC EAst and NFL in general. I believe they won at least 2 games like this this year. And then the refs stole KBs TD. Yeah, that clock deal at the end of the half was ridiculous. 4, 3, 2, 1 ................ Timeout! At least it was karma that Gostkowski missed the kick.
Scott7975 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Never bothered turning it on in the first place. Already knew what the outcome would be. Only thing left for the refs to help out the Pats with is a perfect season. That will probably happen next year or two so Brady and Beliboy can retire. 1

Total joke, and obvious bias after the phantom opi on Decker. Steelers are last hope as I decided I won't watch another Pats* SB after the SEA and ATL brain farts that gave NE championships . BINGO!!! That was the last straw. WTF. I watched the end of the drive and then turned it off. 4 hours ago, reddogblitz said: I believe they won at least 2 games like this this year.

Steelers- No TD Bills KB Chargers Probably another 3-4 aided by bad calls at bad times to give the Pats momentum or take it from the opponent. 1

Sort of 3, if you count the game winning drive against the Texans. Cooks caught a TD pass to cap off the drive that was exactly the same catch as the TD they overturned for the Steelers. If I'm not mistaken he caught it, toe tapped in the end zone and then dropped it on the way to the ground, so it did not "survive the ground". Refs magically got the call right when the Steelers did it, after incorrectly overturning a Jets game winning TD and calling one back on a bs OPI call against the Chargers, as well as overturning Benjamins catch for no good reason. At least KBs mystery overturn was before the half, and not at the end of the game. Ive said it before and I'll say it again, the '17 Cheats are the worst 13-3 football team I've seen in my over 20 years of being around the sport. Should have been 10-6, easily could have been 9-7/8-8 with proper officiating.
row_33 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 But I thought the Pats were finished and too unstable to even play the game this week.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 When you win all the time everyone thinks you get all the calls. Patriots get calls and make you pay. Its like Michael Jordan. Jordan always got calls his way, more than any other player. He would complain if he didn't get calls.

Timeout! At least it was karma that Gostkowski missed the kick. That was the longest 1 second ever. it was almost like time travel. Maybe the NFL needs to do what the NHL does with using off ice officials from other cities? As for the on-field officials there is certainly a bias at play and for some reason the officials seems to be intimidated or afraid to call the game straight with Brady/Belichik. After seeing this I decided the Saints are the only team that might beat them. I expect the Vikings would crap the bed as the 'home' SB teams and the Eagles w/o Wentz are not the same team. NE has had the Steelers number for quite some time, they don't match up well on defense against Brady, and why expect anything to change next Sunday? Jags have no offense. Brees might be the only QB left that can put up enough points and the Saints defense has been good lately too. Edited January 14, 2018 by All_Pro_Bills wording 1

IMO only plays like determining the spot of the ball or whether someone is in bounds should be done frame by frame. They completely bungled the whole catch fiasco.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 didn't watch a snap of that game. no sense in watching a game that was decided before it even started.
peterpan Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 I'm very happy to see more people coming to this conclusion. I've been saying it for years. I made a thread exacyly like this one a few years ago, trying to get everyone to boycott pats games. I didn't get as warm as a reception as you are, which is nice to see
The Crowing Rooster Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 I have been boycotting NE games for a few years now including Superbowls. I will not watch them at all.

Get the ball rolling on all of the big social media fronts with fans from all teams taking part and then you might have something. Imagine Facebook, Instagram and Twitter all blowing up over a Patriots boycott. Word things right and don't make it sound like it's coming from a Bills fan and you have the makings of something big. You would see the NFL do a 180 in a heartbeat because in the end it's all about money. Until there's an uprising by the masses and ratings go way down, there will be more of the same. Of course if that were to happen and the Patriots started to get an equal amount of calls against them as the other teams do, there would be no doubt that the NFL is fixed. 1

If a play requires frame by frame study, the original call should be upheld. I don't believe for a second that there's any fix in with officials but I do truly believe there is a definite hugh referee bias. NE hardly ever gets routine holding or blocks in the back. It also seems like they get way too many calls in their favor on crucial plays especially drive continuing calls offensively and defensively.
