1. All ELITE players get preferential treatment. 2. In a PERFECT world yes, but again the guys who are the POSTER boys for the league will always get more calls and more protection.. all about the benjamins baby!

"REFS favor Brady" or "Golden Boy has refs in his pocket?" even if the score is 52-0 Pats that be the thread title lol

That thread fails to realize Brady is NOT the only QB gets the benefit of the doubt but rather ALL the ELITE/Golden boys of the NFL do like the Manning,Brees, Rogers...

Ok and when they got fined etc, did EITHER WHINE to the press saying how it was unfair? NO... you did wrong you got caught pay the fine and move forward. Umm the hit on Brady was RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN... AKA hard to miss... Fitz was easy to miss... should been called? Probably.. would it have changed anything.. probably not... Its over guys was ONE game on to SF for the Bills!

Sorry he is lying NO one touched him I just watched it 3 times NO ONE near him. and also tell him yes he dove at the knees a NO NO when tackling the QB... has been a rule for over 2 years now he should know that!

Why did Harbaugh say no to the Bills? Was it lack of power? didnt like the owner or maybe the GM? or was it something else?

ONE Correction up by TWO TD's going into the half (been 21-7) and 3 TD after your 1st posssession (28-7)

I think the NFL reviews it on their own accord, but a team can also submit it for review I believe. (I have no idea which one was the case here.)

I never said they called the Fitz hit "correctly" I been stating that hit was a much harder call to make especially since they cant STOP the action and see whats happening. In Real time it isnt easy to tell.

Umm #2 IS A RULE!!!YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HIT A QB IN THE POCKET FROM THE KNES DOWN... So he should KNOW this!! I also have stated mor ethan once the ELITE QB's will ALWAYS get more calls than the average or below average QB in the league.

Huh? but the Pats still scored at will??? (unless you consider it "stopping" the run when they were running Boldin 3 times straight up the middle and he STILL got 9 yards out of it.)

Ok so he is hurt? A lot of players play through injuries. This is FOOTBALL people get hurt, I also think peoples expectations for Mario were a little unrealistic coming into the season. FACT is he was coming off IR and was going need significant time get his timing back and with another injury may delay it even more.

He CLEARLY DOVE for his KNEE he HIT Brady on the KNEE... That is by Rule a penalty. Now was there a patriot Lineman NEAR him and FORCED him go low? Nope he did that all on his own. I know I will sound like a homer but it looked dirty to me like he wanted to hurt Brady. Now the Hit on Fitz, In normal time (refs only see normal speed no slow mo) It appears #79 throws him down from BEHIND (a penalty FYI) and into Fitz if anything your Olineman SCREWED UP. Now in slow mo you can see him jump up and hit Fitz in the upper part of his leg.. NOT his knee.. It was also OBVIOUS... he did it out in the open NO big Bodies all around him... A call on THAT hit be called 100% especially since he looked like he dove for his Knees.

Brady went from 4th string QB to the 2nd String QB, and as I said before Bledsoe was close to being pulled for Brady. Bledsoe just couldnt do what was needed to win. Also BB only coached 3 years in Cleveland and made the Playoffs in the 2nd yr, what amazes me is EVERYONE forgets their great owner ANNOUNCED at the beginning of the year they were moving to Baltimore which destroyed the season. Brady was a BIG reason for the Turnaround? No he was a game manager in 01 nothing more. He did NOTHING to cost the game and relied on the D to win the games for him. Something Fitz COULD do if your OC got his head out of his butt on play calling.

LOL better yet show them their OWN effort in the 4th Quarter of the game... If they had ANY professional Pride they be motivated to at least give an effort.

Someone posted the hit on Brady. Sorry but your guy was a moron for 2 reasons: 1. He went low on PURPOSE 2. Where he did it any BLIND man could have called him for it. I am not shocked he is 15k lighter after the hit, If I was the commish I tell him for being an moron and purposely going low on one of the NFL Golden Boys.. (You do that to Brees,Brady,Rogers,Either Manning you will be fined.)

I agree NO one pushed the Bill into Brady was a VERY easy call.. The one on Fitz was not as clear, and it appeared TO ME he was pushed by the Bill O lineman INTO Fitz...

Favors him? that was a CLEAR case of tackling LOW??? That was an EASY call to make! What is worse is your DLINEMAN went LOW on purpose! Which is probably why he got the 15k fine as well. Oh and Brady went down like that because his other foot wasnt planted so he like anyone else fell down.. ~~sigh~~ Proof... proof you guys were wrong and the call was a DUH call. Fitz call was damn close but hard to tell especially since it was OBVIOUS your lineman PUSHED the Patriot from BEHIND... (you guys watching the same clips??)

Thats just it, Fitz strength is NOT the long ball, it is actually a weakness and IMO the bills call to MANY long ball plays instead of playing smart safe football which IMo what you need with Fitz as a QB...

The Turnovers IMO is your OC fault. His play calling goes against Fitz strengths.

Losing sucks, but I personally can handle it my team seems to be giving it effort. For example last year the Pats could not stop the Bills O but they never stopped TRYING to, they never made it look easy. Same with the Bills last year when facing the Pats I always saw effort from the D, this game looked like they were spending their game checks in their minds instead of playing the 4th quarter. (I love football and I hate seeing crap like that.) And I know BB as a coach would not stand for that neither would Parcells HEADS would roll..

lol 1ST I been a Pats fan since Tony Eason became Tony "Turtle" Eason in 1986. That said it was widely thought the Jets game or the next one was going be Bledsoe last period. BB loved Brady and in his first yr he kept him as the 4th QB because he loved his work ethic. So Bledsoe was on his last legs here. I also know they were 5-11 the year before, Bledsoe had lost his edge BIG TIME. That said BB had at least one more year to prove himself and I am pretty sure 2002 would have been Brady the starter with Bledsoe to Buffalo still happening. Now what happened from there no one will ever know as Brady took over played smart and let the D win the Game for him.. 9Brady was a game manager in 2001 FITZ could have done that job that year.)

Wow, on most boards that give you at least a stern warning for attacking a poster for no reason, if not a time out from posting. C.Biscuit97 I was not talking about the RESULTS from the game but the EFFORT the D seemed to be given in the 4th quarter. No matter how bad the game was for the Pats last yr the D always kept playing hard there is IMO no excuse for guys getting paid so well not to give 100% till the very end especially at HOME! shocked the Bills fans were not booing the crap out of them for their effort.

Interesting fact BB was in year 2 when he won the SB with a no name QB called Tom Brady at the time. Been a winner ever since, he was not close to being fired at all.

I agree both should be considered useless stats... a TD when down by 21 with 6 minutes to go is garbage as is the INT with 3 minutes to go down by the same margin again. Fitz last 2 INT were when the game was pretty much over IMO.
