I always heard they were among the most penalized teams perhaps I was wrong in what I believed. I used the same site to because I wanted to fact check, what an idiot. Perhaps you are right. I don't believe it, but I can't say anything other than I was wrong. My bad calling you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloflash Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) I know R.Darby is glad that game is over, because Gronk was wearing his ass out! So,I guess who the starting QB next year will be interesting! Maybe we can get the other guy? Edited February 5, 2018 by Buffaloflash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe the NFL told officials to give the Patriots all the calls. I do believe my eyes. So I just can't explain it but I see it all the time.

It's like the NBA, the superstars traditionally get the calls and the benefit of the doubt. I think that's what it is, I mistakenly took you for more of a conspiracy theorist.

It's annoying, but I don't believe it's nefarious. It's funny you brought that up. Because I have this theory that Michael Jordan ruined professional sports. Before him it used to be that the superstars got "the benefit of the doubt" as you say. And it was true, and it was tolerable to most fans. It made sense to some degree. Akin to the idea, like in boxing, that you have to clearly "beat" the champ to be the champ. There is no such thing as a tie. If you don't beat him you are not #1. When Jordan started to become great, which wasn't until 8-9 years into his career and he won championships, he started getting ALL the calls. Every time. It was no longer benefit of the doubt, he got every one (and when I say every one of course I don't mean every single one). To some degree Shaq got all the calls but not like Jordan. And it's easier in basketball than other sports. But the idea of a whole team, like the Patriots, getting calls like that doesn't make sense to me. Especially after they were caught cheating a couple different times, which officials should HATE to no end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simool Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Quote May I add, the Gillislee move instead of signing Blount was a massive blunder which probably cost a Championship as well. Didn’t like the move when it happened, unfortunately I was right. The chemistry of the team was hurt by not having Blount there, and he got his revenge. Bad move by Belichick the GM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 A bunch of whiny entitled slobs. Nice to see them exposed when they they don't get the calls. No long unwarranted game changing PI calls. The reign is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 5 rings and they'll be right back in the mix in 2018. Seriously... I don’t know but they put up 613 yards of offense, didn’t punt, and lost to nick Foles. Their defense was pathetic. I’d be pretty damn pissed. Edited February 5, 2018 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The Pats looked unprepared and made some stupid decisions. If schwartz hadn’t insisted on covering Gronk 1:1 with Darby it wouldn’t have been close. They looked old and slow. They deserved to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after they were caught cheating a couple different times, which officials should HATE to no end. I don't think they get all the calls at all (witness last night). I just think that a) they are well coached and commit fewer infractions than other teams, and b) have been the recipient of a couple of beneficial calls in very high profile games over the years (eg, the jesse james non-catch) that linger in people's minds. The problem is that those reversals on the pats' behalf were correct according to the letter of the law. Bottom line, though: they get called for fewer penalties because they commit fewer penalties. It's not as if the league wants to see them win all of time. I mean, it should be pretty freaking obvious at this point that they don't want that to happen. There is no conspiracy and there is no superstar-treatment of them with regard to calls. If there were, Gronk would be the beneficiary of a call every other play because he really is held and interfered with that much.
