The Big Cat Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I know it's not surprising. I know we B word about it all the time. But it still kinda makes me sick. Mostly because I can picture the ugly befreckled mugs of all the idiot obnoxious Pats* fans I know who would chalk this up to good coaching, never for a second acknowledging something about this being off.

mountainwampus Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) not surprising  they got no calls because they were good and now they get no calls due to pity  speaking of no calls The Roncos' got away with a few yesterday  The Broncos are playing by a completely different rulebook than the rest of the NFL. On Decker's 57 yard catch he used a stiff arm on his defender before the ball got there to gain separation, while Demarcus Ware had his helmet pulled off by the facemask. There was a flag on the play, but on the Cowboys. Edited October 7, 2013 by mountainwampus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 and they (Ronco's) are getting set up for a HUGE fall, Â To date no team that has lead the league in passing yards and TDs' scored has ever won a SB. not to mention no defense 500 passing yards against???!! Â WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 They obviously just played a clean, perfect, technically sound game. And lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â WOW Â They remind of the year GB went like 15-1 and failed, also the 18-0 Pats losing to the Giants. Denver is playing amazing offense but they peaked too soon. The league will catch up sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The Pats* get every call. The NFL will do anything they can to protect Marsha Brady. They rarley call holding on the Pats. Mario was held repeatedly during the game vs. the Pats, nothing called. It's pathetic, and someone needs to call the NFL out on it. Also, I'm sure Talib was committing pass interference all over on AJ Green. The Pats* are a joke. They can't win w/o cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yeah but the Broncos get Von Miller back in a couple games. And Champ Bailey. That will help their defense a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Gregg Easterbrook has written several times in his TMQ column about the statistical impossibility of a team like NE throwing as often as they do and never being called for holding. It is an open secret, which one could argue has always favored the good teams. It is rather like how basketball refs call traveling and double dribble all the time in JV high school games and almost never in the NBA. It is also maddening.

RyanC883 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I was watching that play on my phone and I almost threw it. The funny part was watching Brady knowing it was against the Bengals as the flag was in the air. I'm hoping the Saints throttle the Pats. Â As long as they dont' touch Brady they should be fine, since the NFL is going to call clean hits on Brady as late hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hplarrm Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 http://www.nfl.com/s.../team/penalties  it's not uncommon What? In the stats you nicely provide this is the first penalty free game in 10 yeaqrs. This event is NOT unheard of but by your stats I would say it is quite uncommon . At any rate the key for us is to see this game highlighted and analyzed. Whether it is simply an example great coaching or the refs calling the game inequitably this one calls for frame by frame analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 The league has been trying to catch up with Peyton manning for the last ten years what makes you think it will happen now  True. That's why i laugh at the notion of fans/media being upset that the Bills announced Thad Lewis is starting instead of making Cinci guess. If a QB executes a play correctly, it's not going to get stopped, as evidenced by Manning. I just think that Denver is peaking too soon and Manning as some history of not playing as well in January...against the best of the AFC.  Link?  Here's a link to a Cinci thread. Maybe someone smarter than i am can post the pictures that are shown in it.  http://boards.bengals.com/showthread.php?t=116388 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Not saying the Pats* should not have been penalized, but the hit to the head against Brday was the right call...and yes i think that gets called no matter who the QB is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Robert Kraft holds all the cards with the television networks. They aren't going to let his team lose. Â Remember, (a) Kraft is also a board member at Viacom, CBS's parent and (b) CBS actually has an equity stake in the Patriette Place commercial mall/development. How no one in the media has ever really brought them up or focused on those conflicts never ceases to amaze me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Front Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I could see it being exposed someday, probably after Belicheat and Brady have retired and more people become aware that something isn't quite right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
