Most Asterisked Team in Sports History

New England Patriots. No other team comes close. When did the Patriots change their team colors to black and white?

The Bills TD wasn't as crushing as the Steelers TD, but I think the league needs to look at these last two weeks of overturned TD catches and see exactly why they weren't catches and maybe put that explanation in the catch rule explanation because I don't believe every referee completely understands what is and what isn't a catch and that's sad. If an overturned TD catch occurs in the playoffs and that decides the game, there is gonna be so much shit falling on the league.

The Bills TD should have been a TD the Steelers TD should not have the league got one correct and one incorrect. Has nothing to do with the Patriots OP just felt compelled to reach and try to start yet another Pats bashing post, how very original of him

We need to create a whole new sub board for these threads. The call in the Buffalo game was wrong. We all know it (except the league office, apparently) but it doesn't matter anyway. We also all know the Bills were gonna lose to the Pats anyway. Frankly, what's done is done.
Like I posted in the game thread the league needs to limit the amount of time on these reviews and let the call on the field stand if there is any doubt. Too much micro analysis of these plays take away from the game itself. Once they took so long and fucked things up, the game became unwatchable and I flipped over to the other one.

Personally I like the way things are going <snicker>.
The ride we Pats fans are on won't last forever so we can enjoy it for as long as we can.
Go Pats!

theres no going back from this. if you relax the "what is a catch", then people will revert to the replay we have now and argue the call is still wrong.

the nfl gave us tools they cant take back.

i tend to agree, but what started this whole monster? i believe a seattle/GB game...a touchdown that was, that was ruled no TD. game over.

the fans and players clamored for this. now its gotten so pin point and become such a "eye of the beholder" thing. its gotten well beyond what it was intended for.

if anything, the league being too cheap to put cameras in the endzone is the problem. we rely on shitty angles.

Bottom Line, if thats a Patriots WR, the call isnt overturned

The End

toe dragged as the ball wasnt secured. ball was secured as his foot came up. league office in NYC seemed to agree, as the call was overturned...and calls arent overturned by the league office without a lot of visual evidence...like this, which is plain to see, which is why it was overturned.

again, my eyes work..as does the league office in NYC. the last camera angle was clear a day.

sorry. im right.

uh huh

where are my 17 super bowl trophies tin foil dirt?

why do the pats lose games every year?

how did the dolphins win the division?

how did eli beat the pats twice, once on a very questionable call (in the grasp)?

the league sure seems to favor the patriots. i mean, they didnt even suspend brady.

Give it a break, you have been seeing things in the Patriots favor that the rest of the world hasnt been seeing since computers were invented

Even Snoogins calls it a catch

Why you dont get enough?

Brandin Cooks dropped a pass, as per the rule, to win a game vs the Texans, essentially handing the Pats Homefield


The league is fixed

Wrong. Stopped reading your post after the first sentence. Your homerism blinds you. It's a New England thing.
