Flaccid will shrivel in the presence of pure Steel… again.

Yo Nation:
How’d your boys do on Sunday?

The one where Gronkowski got called for BLOCKING a guy. The one where a helmet to helmet hit on Brady was ignored. The one where the stalling Ravens got escorted up the field on mysterious PI and holding calls that are not there. The one where Chandler Jones was wearing Oher’s arm like a necklace the entire game and didn’t get ONE CALL. Where even Collinsworth said, ‘a little bit of a hold there…’ right in front of a ref. The one where a kick was signaled a touchdown before it went through the uprights, and was wide right. The one where the Refs wouldn’t review the winning score. The one where they added six seconds back onto the clock to give the Ravens another time out before two minute warning.

I will say the unsportsmanlike on Harbaugh was a BS penalty, but that game was so ridiculous.

You must not have seen Brady’s numbers last week, it’s one week.

The Ravens won.
The Patriots lost.

Let’s move on……

That last second field goal is CLEARLY no good. I’ve watched it again and again. It’s really not even that close. If the call were no good on the field, and they reviewed it, no way it gets overturned.

Ravens got very lucky and the Pats really did get screwed on that one. Belichek has every right to demand that EVERY SCORING PLAY is auto reviewed (rule) but not the most important one? Pretty dumb.

(1) I never ever voiced any support for the officiating in that game. It was abysmal on so many levels. Some of the calls were astonishingly atrocious. YES, the officiating was Godawful.

(2) My point was limited to a commentary on how I’m unaccustomed to the modern era Patriots making so many inexcusable mistakes. In a sense, it’s a compliment to the Patriots’ standard of play for so long – that it’s very notable when there’s an anomaly like last night.

(3) As for Arrington tripping over a blade of grass — I do not find that up to the standard I expect of my high school athletes, let alone a professional one. The athletic degree of difficulty on simply maintaining your stride while untouched – to me – does not merit some clumsy, bumbling face plant. Arrington should have made the play.

There were terrible calls all around. The replacement refs were so scared to throw flags in the first half because they dont know the rules, so none of them want to be a monday morning topic for making wrong calls. Missed calls happen all the time, but once you blow that whistle or throw the flag, you alter the game and they are afraid of the attention. Then somebody must have gotten after them at halftime because they were flag throwing and whistle blowing happy.

Its ashame that the owners feel that it is okay to screw with the product that millions of fans whole heartedly support. The fans continue to buy merch, tickets, tv packages, and support the advertisers. Yet the owners are telling the fans F-U , you will keep giving us money and like whatever we put on the field.

Not the officials.

Someones going to make a drinking game out of the blown/wrong/missed calls and people all over the country are going to be showing up at the ER sundays with alcohol poisoning. If that game existed for NE-Balt you’d have to be irish to even survive that much booze that fast.

Newsflash MrWright they don’t “HAVE” to pay WW a cent next year. They can let him leave in FA. I guarantee there are teams out there who WILL pay him big bucks, and good for him if he finds one. I love the guy and will wish him well wherever he goes. Just a silly and illogical comment.

I am happy for Torrey Smith’s game tonight for his loss and all, but this was just a utter crapfest from the officials. They were inconsistent, confused, and generally inept. This better get fixed soon, because I think the Pats got jobbed tonight in a big way.

This is what, Flacco’s 7th 3 TD game and 9th 300 yard game in 67 starts? You know, Romo has 25 3 TD games and 32 300 yard games in 79 starts. Why is Flacco the 18th overall draft pick a dependable star that has never gotten the respect he deserves and undrafted Romo overrated and almost constantly clowned on by PFT when you guys have anything at all to say about him? Just wonderin’.
