mykidsdad Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 He is totally trying to manipulate the refs via public perception and pressure. And experience tells me it will work.

Sherman Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Troy Aikman and retired ref on the broadcast also talked a lot about the penalties and how they felt many of them should not have been called. I felt some of them were borderline at best. For someone who gets the benefit of so many calls going his way though Brady really shouldn’t talk.
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 jets wont beat them but you can bet your ass greggo will have his boys lay the wood on him. hopefully that will make him very vulnerable coming to new era field. I haven't a drink in 6 years but I will raise a toast when his ass is carted off the field this season.

jethro_tull Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 I agree with him that continuous holding or any other penalty is difficult to watch. But the officials can't ignore them if they are valid calls. If they are expanding the strike zone, then that is another issue. If the officials follow the rule equally for all teams then the Patriots will not have any kind of advantage.

We can feel that way but reality is different.... I do agree their is favoritism towards Brady and that is damaging, but the league as a whole is going to listen when he speaks for the mentioned reason. Listening is one thing, but playing a favorite is a different discussion IMO
TuelTime Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 It was definitely annoying for the TNF crew to be talking about a Tom Brady tweet during the game, especially when his O-Line holds more than any other in the league. Of course he wants to sway to league into calling holding less often, when it is apparent they are looking for it more this year and than in years past. It doesn't bode well that the 2nd half of the game saw almost no penalties either. I'm sure the officiating crew was told to stop throwing as many flags so Buck and Aikman could enjoy the rest of the game. I saw one truly bad holding call and it was because Ramsey did a good job of acting when he couldn't get off his block, and the ref that called it probably didn't have the best angle. I also thought the refs weren't being biased with their calls. The Titans O-Line is horrible and the Jags D was manhandling them. They had no choice but to hold or Mariota was going to need to be carted off the field. 1

I highly doubt that........how can fans know little about him when he holds records that no one will touch ?....Unless another QB goes to 9 SBs and wins 6...I can't imagine anyone coming close....
BBills88 Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 UH OH Do I smell a REF_GATE for the Patriots ?
PlayoffsPlease Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 /tinfoil hat off/ The other possibility is like every other person watching last nights games he was actually sick of all the penalties. /tinfoilhaton/ I will return to the regularly scheduled conspiracy theory now.

GoBills808 Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 5 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Penalties for offensive holding are something Brady doesn't have much experience of. I can't say I counted all the penalties as justified last night but most of the offensive holds were holding. Sloppy technique. The two guards for Tenn really struggled from what I saw. Calais Campbell enjoyed his evening. Really missing Lewan 1
