The Refs Shockingly Bailed Out the Patriots
New York Post ^ | January 14, 2018 | Mark Cannizzaro

The Titans — and the officiating crew — played right into the hands of the Patriots in Saturday night’s 35-14 rout of Tennessee in the AFC divisional playoff game at Gillette Stadium.

The 14-3 Patriots, as defending Super Bowl champions, shouldn’t need such help. Not that they were turning it away or complaining.

The first questionable call that went against the Titans came in the second quarter on a third-and-4 play from the Tennessee 27-yard line. Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota connected with former Jets receiver Eric Decker on a pass that appeared to give Tennessee a first down to keep the drive alive.

America’s Team - The Patriots are great. The jealousy of many is humorous. So many snowflakes. Patriots for another Super Bowl win.

I watched the whole game.

Tennessee got destroyed.

Refs played no role in the destruction.

Tomlin is the dumbest coach in the NFL.

Go Pats... all the way. Again.

And then allowed 35 point and didn’t score again until the closing seconds of the game. They just weren’t up to the task.

Oh Jesus H Christ!

That asshat goodell is not now, nor has he ever been a “12th man” for the Patriots.

To this day goodell is still butt-hurt over the fact that Belichick left his beloved jets high and dry.

That would be super... Pats vs Eagles. Pats fan forever, but moved to Philly a year ago to be closer to my kids. Not sure Eagles can get by Saints or Vikings (most likely Vikings). Not sure I want to see the Patriots against Minnesota at home.

45-42 Jacksonville Wins. It’s a shame. I was looking forward to the Steelers exacting a little payback against the Pats.

The Steelers should have won. My Eagles should have lost. Neither happened. I guess that’s why you play the games.

“But the jets? They are just sad.”

Yeah no kidding... Even Cleveland had a “perfect” season.

That is 100% false. Kraft and the Falcons owner lead the effort to bring back Goodell against Jerry Jones and a few others. Kraft wasn't going to let his boy be ousted. As much as I detest Jerry Jones, he was right, Goodell is bad for the League. Most corrupt commissioner ever. Goodeell admitted he was good friends with Kraft last summer.

Everyone knew when Goodell came in he was Kraft's boy. And remember, the first thing he did was go full Clinton/Obama covering up the Patriots investigation.

Who really gives a rats ass what happens in a football game.

I thought most Freepers swore off football. Why is anyone watching these Anti-American rich spoiled brats?
