Offensive PI calls, Gronk, and collective head shaking.

[GNG]

Brady sucked.

And that kills you, doesn't it?

Brady has sucked the past 3 games.

 

[flyerhawk]

yes. dictate.

bad officiating can dictate a specific outcome of a game without direction.

it implies nothing, maybe just to you.

OK. So it's purely random acts of bad officiating. Ok cool. So why do we have this thread?

 

[Rock Strongo]

OK. So it's purely random acts of bad officiating. Ok cool. So why do we have this thread?

yes, and those random acts dictate the outcomes of the games. why are you doing this again?

im confused.

 

[PatsFan2003]

It's called cheating.

Gamesmanship... When football players played football on the frozen tundra of Lambeau field and Johnny U and Dick Butkis played the game.. Larry Czonka running over Viking players like bowling pin.

Now you've done it. I'm getting all teary eyed now.

 

[HammerDown]

It's called cheating.

That word has been removed from the Foxborough lexicon.

They prefer "gamesmanship."

 

[flyerhawk]

im confused.

Well at one point it seemed that you were suggesting the league was unfairly calling penalties against the Patriots intentionally and you mentioned that these bad calls were dictating the outcomes of games.

You now seem to be arguing that bad calls can impact the outcome of a game but there is no rhyme or reason to them. They just happen. Like the weather.

No they don't.

Not even close, Rock.

Blaming the refs for a loss is for dimwits, morons and Pats fans.

well, the metrics alone indicate a vast discrepancy between the pats and other NFL teams for OPI calls.

that being said, its also a league wide issue with bad officiating.

yes, bad calls impact the outcome of a game and at times there is no rhyme or reason to them.

 

[redseat]

They need to deal with the idea of contact in a contact sport better.

pretty much

 

[Rock Strongo]

No they don't.

Not even close, Rock.

im not talking just about the pats.

Do you also remember leather helmets?

 

[MileHigh64]

Blaming the refs is loser's lament.

 

[Rock Strongo]

whos blaming the refs?

which one of us cant read?

 

[flyerhawk]

well, the metrics alone indicate a vast discrepancy between the pats and other NFL teams for OPI calls.

Because one player has been penalized more than anyone else in the league for OPI by a large margin. Perhaps if he stopped committing the penalty, you would be called fewer times. Although given the penchant of the Patriots to do pick plays they will likely always get called a lot for OPI.

that being said, its also a league wide issue with bad officiating.

So this has nothing to do with the original point?

it does.

not sure where you got that.

 

[Rock Strongo]

original point (verbatim)

now, I'm not saying its a "conspiracy" vs the pats and gronk...but its fairly obvious to most toddlers that something is amiss here.

What are your thoughts?

 

[flyerhawk]

whos blaming the refs?

which one of us cant read?

Certainly not you! You were just complaining about refs, after a loss, by pure coincidence.

So what is amiss? Stop being so coy and just tell us what you think.

ok, so NOW we are on the same page. glad we cleared that up.

Something is amiss. Gronkowski's ability to play within the rules.
