Fuck this bullshit. The Patriots got enough calls to help make them win this game. Towards the end of the game, one of the O-lineman from the Pats basically grabs a defensive lineman's facemask - no call.
Moss barrels right into a DB at the end of the game - pass interference.
Soft pass interference call to keep the drive alive after an incomplete pass on 4th and 5.
Jizus Kreist!
OK, JUST GIVE THE PATRIOTS THE 16-0 SEASON ALREADY!

Rodney Harrison has no effin' respect. Screw this team. SARS can't hit the Patriots locker room soon enough.

Oh yeah, no call on the cut block on Ray Lewis in that last drive.

I find Jules to be a reputable source.
If he says the NFL must be rigged, then the NFL must be rigged.

I am over it now. But I really just don't like that team.

Must be rigged, since no one in their right mind would have their first loss coming to Kyle Boller.
Seriously, if he throws the ball away on that pass, they're up 10 (possibly), and they're talking OT. But the Ravens did as much wrong on that last drive as the Pats were given.

Another thrilling comeback.
Any other team in the league making a game-winning catch in the end zone like that gets the call overturned.
Not to mention all the rest.
At this point you just have to shake your head and smile. See the Eagles/Pats gameday thread for my list of sketchy calls in the last two minutes of the first half. The Pats got five or six oddball calls right there.

Just about every Raiders fan I can think of will tell you the NFL is rigged...
Tuck Rule! And the rest is "They're the dynasty of the 2000s" history.

Has there ever been a team more jinxed than the Browns? Somebody's been stealing Jobu's rum for years.

Jules, you obviously don't understand what it is like to disrespected like the Pats. According to patsfans forum, the officials "jobbed" the Pats because they wanted the Eagles to win. They were citing all of the defensive holding and illegal contact the eagles were doing the disrespected WRs.

I'd like someone to explain how Brady continually gets away with getting right in an official's face and complaining about a call (or lack thereof.)
The Patsies are the new Cowboys.

Two of those PI calls were weak. The Moss one was really weak cuz Moss just barrels into the DB and basically does an Italian soccer player "dive".
Then you have the last one on the backup safety who initiates contact WITHIN 5 yards of the LOS.
On a crucial third and long, the guy getting pressure on Brady is held by his facemask.
I just can't stand this team. It'd be awesome (and a source of gratitude for me) for the NFL if the Ravens won. I don't care about the Dolphins, but I think this is the Michael Jordan working the officials thing.

They'll lose in the playoffs - the Colts are slugging it out within the NFL's best division, and I think that will toughen them up enough to beat them in Foxboro.
And if NE goes 16-0, the pressure to win the SB will be unbelievable, and even now I think they're starting to crack a bit.

I can't see the Colts beating NE in NE.
They just have a history of choking outside.

They also had a history of choking in the AFC title game and were down 21-3 on top of that.
I think this team is different, plus they've been able to beat them up there in the regular season. Even beyond that, this NE team isn't as daunting as prior years, even with that explosive offense.

I mean defensively, specifically. Their D got carved up by two guys who shouldn't be starting, their run D isn't that good (covered up by scoring lots of points), and Brady sometimes has tunnel vision with Moss.
I guess I'm trying to say that they're somewhat overrated, as opposed to previous years, where they were tough all around. And they can only play the disrespect angle for so long.

ok check this, yes the NFL is rigged to a certain extent. there's proof. last year an nba ref was caught red handed gettin paid off, he even admitted it and is probably gonna pull time for it. I refuse to believe that that was the only case. refs are payed off all the time and probably certain postition players as well. I mean you all see these horrific calls every sunday. they're watchin the same game you are. they're not stupid. they're makin those bad calls on purpose. In addition, how many people out there have noticed the heavy increase in upsets these days. damn near every game is an upset. you cant pick em anymore. it didnt used to be like that. who would believe that green bay would be 10-2 if i told u that last season. or chicago the defending nfc champs would totally fall off for no apparent reason other than thomas jones is gone.

Green, the ref admitted that there were several others involved in the NBA scandal who were paid off.
The one guy whom I met that is very well connected had the suspicion that it was, but had no proof. I'm not saying I have proof. I AM saying, I hate NE and I think some of those no-calls and some of those calls were complete bullshit.
