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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

If I was a Patriots fan, I would have been upset about the officiating last night. They missed on both sides, but it seemed like more of the game-changing misses were in the Vikes favor. I appreciate you trying to downplay New England's chances on Thursday, but it should be a hard-fought game. Belichick, at home - never easy.

Lmao the Tuck rule was called correct! People keep pointing to that as a lucky call, the Pats fans knew it was right because it went against us earlier in the year. Also why would the Pats in 2001 get the favorable call? Brady was a first year starter, and BB was just another coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may forget it's not Brady. Lmao although Thursday the way he played it was almost Bray like. That was the best WB played game for us well since Brady.. My hope is he plays well against Buffalo and keeps moving forward in his progress.. This Pats team isn’t a SB team so seeing Jones get better or prove he isn’t the answer is the most important thing find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 No team in the history of the league has benefited from game altering calls in their benefit that the Pats*. I’m not talking just a holding call here or there, every team gets those for and against. I’m talking game changing plays at critical junctures - like 3rd down phantom defensive holds, end of game roughing calls against Tom, From Tuck rule to Brady Rule to Just Give It To ‘Em, to any play Gronk was involved with to phantom PI’s in the end zone on critical drives. I hope NE gets screwed every game with a horrible call against them for the next 18 years. They and the few fans that are left watching them deserve it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 That hunter Henry catch was interesting…I think they probably ruled the ball hit the ground with his hand underneath which is fine, but then when he rolled over the ball bobbled a bit which puts him in ‘the ground helped secure the catch’ territory i think this is a classic candidate for ‘fans don’t know all the nuances of the ruling and it was a stupid rule called correctly’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll speak for myself here that while I'll take a bad call that goes our way, I'll still always make a mental note that it was a bad call.
