Don't worry Al Riveron will no doubt rule justly!!

Wow that was just like the home run throwback

The Titans O coordinator adjusted to our pressure but we haven't adjusted to theirs

need an INT desperately

In the end intent doesn't matter one iota. Jones lowered his head and his helmet hit Allen's . Sorry 15 yard flag and instant ejection. If the inept refs didn't see the hit then why did they flag it? And if they saw it and flagged it for a helmet contact then the logical step next is ejection. At the moment that Josh hits the turf Riveron and his team should have been in contact with the refs on field and explained that was a flagrant hit and an ejection was warranted. But it was the Pats and this league apparently is devoid of logic.

Riveron should be the guy that makes up for the unbelievable incompetence on the field with these officials. I repeatedly say this but the NFL has the worst officiating in pro sports. Yesterday there was a multitude of blown calls . There was a missed face mask on Allen, a missed intentional grounding on Brady that was absolutely textbook. The refs blew the ejection call when Allen got hammered. Then the refs miss the fact that the INT #3 was out of bounds based on the Bills player touching. You would think if this made any sense and the NFL didn't have its head right up its butt, that Riveron and his teams job would be to correct all these egregious errors and make things right with some sober second thoughts and multiple replays, but NO they have blown the review process as well. The Pats player who hit Allen deservedly got a flag for the hit but the second that the league saw that replay of the helmet to helmet, they should have contacted the head ref and ordered him to eject the player. Instead they come up with some completely BS reason for why it didn't merit an ejection and/or apologize for the on field refs blowing it when it should be corrected in real time by Riveron et al.

I fault him for the first challenge which had zero chance of being successful. He either didn't see it properly or got bad advice. The 2nd one I thought was a good challenge and from McD's angle it looked like the Bills player got rubbed out on the pick. The problem was that the Bill player stupidly tried to avoid contact on the pick and this made it a legit innocent looking obstruction. I think the 4th and goal was a good call to go for it but just not that play and not with a cold and rusty Barkley. If he had that much faith in Barkley then do the Philly special and have Barkley catch the pass in the end zone a la Foles. The Pats are just too well coached for that vanilla play they used. Other than that I like McD getting in the ref's faces after some really bad non calls and picked up flags.

If Allen is going to do jump ball passes. Williams would be ideal. Zay is a waste of space on the roster.

He was bad no question. But Its this type of tough game that will build his character and force him to get better. I wanted him to get mad and win the game for us and he might have if it wasn't for the dirty hit.

TJ Yeldon cluelessly makes no block and Barkley gets smacked. Then the camera pans to the plastic Pats fans in the crowd whooping it up. Could that have gone any worse.

We've had 20 years of losses and bad karma VS the Pats. Just once can the football gods give us a comeback win right now?

Text book intentional grounding......no call and now we are backed up . Once again NFL refs worst in pro sports.

You can touch it you can catch it

Dan Fouts is an idiot. Doesn't need to be contact for a pick to work. NFL refs worst in pro sports.

As much as the receivers need to play defense on the bad throws by Josh. Josh needs to throw that out of bounds. Stupid play again

The bad kick was a direct result of being hurried due to bad blocking at the line.

What a terrible end to the half. BS no facemask call, terrible sack and House money misses?

Defense keeping them alive

sorry I should have made the sarcasm slightly more evident on the last half of the post.

Defense needs to rattle Brady. There is really no excuses. Brady is 42. Hit him repeatedly and he will not be as accurate. Stopping the run might be an idea to consider as well. They are starting to get gashed out there.

Allen looks like a QB who Bellichick has completely confused. In addition he is just flat out playing badly at this point.

Well there is a man named Duke who might be able to help.

I wouldn't put it past NFL refs to do that. In fact as I watched I was waiting for the dolts to make that call.

How many people thought the refs were going to call a safety on Trey White for a second there?!!

HELL YA!!!!!!
