I always wanted someone to do an analysis of how many game-altering PI calls they benefitted from. It's just an unbelievable advantage to be able to just chuck the ball up at a critical point in the game and get either the phantom PI call - or the one that probably wouldn't be called for the majority of other teams.
This AM on Get Up Rex was comparing the frustration the Lions must have felt at the end of the game last night with no penalties called on KC, with playing NE in the old days. With Bruschi sitting there he said this: "When it starts going bad you feel it. Trust me I felt it on the sideline when we'd play the Patriots and you'd be looking like 'oh now you're gonna throw a flag cause when the games on the line they <usually> never throw that dang flag' Like sometimes you'd literally feel it"
