I finally saw the replay of the 2 point conversion.. you could point to some things and argue Rhodes should have been flagged, but I think it looked like a good play and I don't think Rhodes did anything that impeded Gronk's ability to catch the ball.

I don't think that they are way off base to gripe about the officiating, plenty of people do when they lose -- and plenty of people here would have lost our minds if we would have lost to Seattle on the added timeout -- but I don't think the officiating ultimately lost them the game. The play of our defense is ultimately why they lost. Plenty of people over in New England are blaming the refs, the kicker, the offensive coordinator, the Hernandez injury -- all played a role, but the play of the Arizona defense was the real key to the game. I said as much on a Pats message board, and pretty much scoffed at the notion that so many of them were of the "let's blame everyone and everything without giving the Cards credit for outplaying us" mindset.

To be fair most fans are that way. We almost never credit the other teams play. It's always the officials or something our guys did wrong or whatever.

It makes up for a holding call on Snyder against Wilfork. Wilfork is held like or worse than that on every play.

On NFL, they said Refs were generous with Pats first down spot coz game on theline and people are watching :mad:

There were several times that the refs gave them extremely generous spots. Especially in the forth quarter.

Anyone from the Patriots who wants to whine about the calls obviously is a complete homer.

There were bad calls all through the game, most of which went against us.

I chuckled when the one ref made a mistake prouncing something that sounded like he had the worst Boston accent of all time, just a funny moment.

It seemed to me to be very biased in terms of the calls all game long against us then when it mattered most we got some calls we maybe shouldn't have, it's all jacked up.
