What about that weird arse false start that wasn't 2 games ago?

And with as flag happy as refs are, how in god's name was that PI over the middle against Lewis(I think) NOT called?

That was a HORRIBLE non call.

They had 6 total flags for the game

3 were pre snap penalties

2 were PI


Oh yeah flag happy alright.




Dafuq are the facts doing in a perfectly good Pats-hatin' hootenanny?

If they're hand fighting it should be a no call.

The pats have perfected the "Brady will throw the ball 40 yards down the field and PI will be called" play.

Again, the NFL's spot foul penalty is a joke.

Jags got screwed hard on that fumble recovery being blown dead.

The refs clearly looked for these things on Jags but not on Pats. Same with holding and PI. Lots of ways for bias to appear legit.


you cannot be serious.

They got the benefit of the doubt on the review. On the road.

Okay shouldn't have been blown dead, but lets not sit here and act like that doesn't happen often on turnovers no matter which teams are playing.

I hate greatly rewarding a team for just throwing a ball up in the air and banking on PI being called. I mean on nearly every play there is some contact that could be called PI.

Not saying that was Patriots bias but the Jags definitely got screwed over on a potentially game clinching play.

That stupid shite happens all the time.

I look at this shite like refereeing basketball.

You call that PI at the end of the half and put NE on the goddamn 4, and you've established that you will look for and call PI aggressively.

So when a TE gets MUGGED with a pass 7 yards before reaching him...IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD, and you don't call shite? I have a really big problem with that.

Then they called PI on Jalen the next drive. It was PI, buuuuuuut c'mon now, refs. It's a really bad look.

I agree that the PI was one-sided.

Can we just stop with this bullshite? That hit should be legal. He didn't leave his feet, didn't lower his head. Didn't spear. If anything, he was leading with his shoulder.

It absolutely was a hard hit, but a penalty? Nah.

Minnisota, Houston, chargers, Pittsburgh all had more DPI calls than NE.

Arizona tied with them with 14 DPI calls on the season


Meanwhile they lead the league in OPI calls this season with 8.

Seems like they far from perfected that strategy

Easy fix to this - change it from a spot foul to a 15 yard (maybe 10 yard) penalty. The fact that a defender can make one mistake and cost his team 40 FRICKING YARDS BECAUSE OF A PENALTY FLAG is absolutely ridiculous.

The Jags got the ball on a 50/50 call when the Pats had the momentum.

And proceeded to do nothing with it.

The calls in Pats-Jags game were not that bad. Bunch of sore losers. Maybe if Lamo FourLOLt tried harder for that pass the Jags would have won.

Buncha playa haters, hatin' on the GOAT Tom Brady. Success breeds jealousy.
