Success Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I feel like I'm in bizzarro universe reading their boards. Many are convinced that the league has it rigged against them. Like, were their fans around for the past 20 years? Starting w/ the tuck rule, and all of the Bills games in that time? I remember defenders getting 15 yards for just getting close to Brady. I remember one Pats game where the Bills had 3 PI's at or near the endzone called against them, all ticky tack or phantom. It was impossible playing that team on a level field. Well, it has all come home to roost. They actually see the Bills as the "darlings" who get all of the calls now. Here's hoping we win next week on a bogus call or 2. 3 1 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whorlnut Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Well we all know why they got the calls in the first place. And that reason is no longer there… 2 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dma0034 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I mean my favorite penalty was Jerry Hughes celebrating with a teammate by slapping him on the back and the refs called Roughing lol 6 4 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 No fan base thinks that their team gets calls. Every call against your opponent is warranted and every call against your team is bogus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaDigital Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 remember the penalty on (I think it was hughes) for slapping his own guys helmet? that one was awesome. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Not only that there's been a few occasions when the Patriots offensive line has been penalized for HOLDING! That hasn't happened in the last 15 years! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyoAZBillfan Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Brady still does. We will revisit this discussion after we play the Pats, that’s what my gut tells me.😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL needs to choreograph their narrative and with Brady gone, the Patriots no longer matter. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Surviving the ground is a bit wonky, but I’m glad they didn’t add in a Patriots exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Patriots were the first team to lose in the SB era with the stat line they posted yesterday. Teams had been 170-0 in those situations https://twitter.com/OptaSTATS/status/1596022072353751040 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Every single fan base feels that they get screwed over by the refs and have conspiratorial thoughts about why the NFL doesn't want them to win. The fact of the matter is that refs make mistakes and there's negative and positive variance within that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Psst... they never got the calls before. They were just the better team. Get over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping we win next week on a bogus call or 2. Or the ever infamous "Just give it to them" phantom 1st down. That quote was actually heard and confirm from NE reporters who overheard the refs talking prior to them giving NE a 1st on a play that wasn't a 1st down. Then a phantom pi on a hailmary in the endzone soon after, giving them the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
