Patriots getting help from the NFL - proof below

[BottleWalk]

I've never seen a replay of the first play.

The steelers play this past weekend was an incompletion according to pretty solid precedent set by seemingly every call made about catches or non-catches in the past ten years.

And I still have no idea whether the jets ruling was right or not- I tend to think it actually is, since the ball is sort of moving, but also your claim that Riveron "decided a victory" for the Pats in that game is silly since the Jets were never going to win that game even if they had scored a touchdown there....

As someone who is very much not a fan of the Pats it is hard to remember the last time a tough call went against them (i guess racking my brain enough I can remember when they played carolina on mnf a few years ago) but like any other team if you ask pats fans I'm sure they could tell you many instances.

If the nfl were actually rigging games for the pats, I'm not sure it would last long given that goodell is the commish

I'd put the Tuck Rule at the top

That is the only one that really had an affect on my life

I am one that believes you cannot blame refs for deciding games. That WR gets paid millions to (1) catch the ball and (2) score TDs, i expect him to understand a rule that combines the 2.

How about we blame the WR for dropping the ball?

I would agree if the decisions were consistent

But they arent, and thats the problem

An NFL source told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Cooks’ catch remained a touchdown because there was no good video angle that showed him losing control of the ball when he hit the ground.

Yep, sounds like he ruled in favor of the Patriots on this one and made it a touchdown when it wasn't.... YUP!

Patriots hating, apparently, is hard work. tldnr

Pretty sure no-one read it... I know I didn't. Francis is agenda driven.

Brandon Cook's was definitely a catch and TD.
Jesse James' definitely was neither.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins definitely lost control of the ball before he crossed the GL plane. I haven't seen the replays that showed whether he regained control before the ball, or he, was OB in the EZ. But if he didn't, that makes 3 solid calls.

Is this just one of those Pats homers vs haters threads ? If so, I'll let myself out because idgaf about the Pats one way or the other.

I remember this game. BF was probably crying as much during this game as he does now... Albeit for different reasons

You can’t hit the QB in the head. Case closed!

looking forward to the replies

You've just got to accept the fact that nobody gives a f**k about cheating in sports. Whoever cheats the most is going to win the most. It's that simple.

Yes, the Pats do it the best.

Well, One play comes to mind.....

The kick went over the goal post which is considering good. The rule was applied correctly
