Patriots complain about crowd noise

Actually I think the Washington Redskins cheated a bit in that last game with New England. What I mean is that touchdown Washington scored in that 52-7 game was bush league and totally undeserved. How dare Washington stand in the way of what was sure to be a 70-0 victory? But no, even though Washington KNEW they were going to lose, they go ahead and play defense and send their offense into the end zone for one totally inconsequential touchdown. I mean, what is the point?

No doubt...as far as I was concerned, his career was over. The Pats could have won that game if he hadn’t dropped that ball...and it WAS right in his hands, nobody near him.

I don’t wish him any ill will or anything, but good gosh. I sure am glad they didn’t bring him back after that.

[rlmorel]

Oh, sorry. It was a generic “your” comment. “...and you who you are...”

:)

[rlmorel]

True...not a playoff game. You know that. I know that. The Patriots know that, and the Colts know it too.

But I am sure, as Peyton Manning pounded the ground, that he wasn’t thinking the season was lost either.

But it was a show of emotion more befitting the cute little toddler than Brady’s rather bland statement...I’m going to have to steal that picture...:)

[rlmorel]

BTW...I'm stealing that one too...

" I think every team will push the rules as far and as hard as they can."

Remember after last years AFC Championship game ?--there were reports that the Colts cranked up the heat in the Dome because a lot of the Pats players were suffering from the flu, and the extra heat took a toll on them.--EVERY team pulls stuff, anyone who thinks otherwise is woefully ignorant and needs to get a clue.

even with the referees making non-existent interference calls against them

Puh-leeze! And I suppose all the penalties against Dallas during the Pats/Cowboys game were legit? Let me give you a clue ... YES! And so were the ones called against the Pats on Sunday.

[Resolute Conservative]

Even the analysts agreed the calls were poor and the NFL does review those tapes and fines referees if blatant mis-calls are made. Watch and see if any thing comes down.

Sorry - it wasn’t even close. The call on Hobbs was completely ridiculous - he already had excellent position on Reggie Wayne and was looking for the ball as he had every right to do. The call against Moss was even worse. And the non-call against the Colts when Faulk was clearly interfered with was a disgrace. The refs missed badly on the inbounds call that Belichick successfully challenged. Other than that, they had a great day. Maybe all that piped-in crowd noise bothered them.
