Estelle Getty Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 And the other 30 NFL teams. The *pats will no longer get the benefit of not being called for a penalty in the final 5 minites of games. They will no longer get the phantom calls of pass interference or roughing the passer when the game is on the line. With Goodels ego and the way the NFL works do you really think the pats will get the red carpet rolled out for them anymore in the fourth quarter? The three things that made the Patriots great over the years were Bellichick, Brady, and the refs. Better they lose the refs for the whole season and beyond than Brady for four games.

Interesting thought. I would take that red carpet roll-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 If the refs were in their corner, and favoring them for this long, what makes you think they have a problem with what the Pats* were doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they will not be flagged at all for fear they will be taken to court for penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 No, I assume the Patriots will get extra ability to hold, phantom pass interference calls. We can't just beat them, we need to demolish them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Eh, I'm pretty sure they're still going to get the close calls, at least when they play us. I'm a firm believer that the slight disfavor of the Bills by the refs has everything to do with psychological bias. I think they're reinforcing an image that they believe (we are no good), and when something is a close call, they err on the side of the better teams. With the Patriots, we've seen them get some bad calls in the past (a Carolina game comes to mind), but I think the larger bias is against teams that are thought to generally be bad.
