This was in the game against the Colts, not Ravens. Although the Pats did use several “trick” plays against the Ravens that also relied on confusion as to who was and who wasn’t an eligible receivable. Some of these may have also been illegal, but I’ve never seen any final conclusion on that. (full disclosure - I’m a Ravens fan).
If the team were to change its name to the New England Faggots, all their problems would just go away...
Belichick livin’ rent free in the NFL’s head.
IIRC, they won by SEVERAL TDs.
Refs made questionable calls in some of the other playoff games.
The last couple of seasons, we have also seen refs sort of make up rules on the spot.
IIRC, there was some questionable call or activity regarding Baltimore last season (2013-2014).
But, as long as the checks still clear ...

Since 2003, the Patriots have averaged 14 wins a season. What are the odds? Even Vince Lombardi couldn’t have even dreamed of that consistency. Cheaters.
so what? they still killed them
More meaningless BULLCRAP by the wet, pink panty crowd. "Suck it up", sisters...you lost!! Get over it!! Whiners make me puke!!
I’ve got a feeling the Patriots are going to rip the Sea Hawks. This media hype is to talk about something besides how bad of a matchup this game is.
brady should wear a skirt.... once he gets hit a couple of times he crumbles.... ask the giants
now we will see if new england can play with a fully inflated ball to match brady’s overinflated ego...
there is always the stench of illegal plays, deflated balls, spying and such surrounding the new england pats...
let’s see if gronk, blount and edelman can play with a regulation ball....doubt it ...
im a ravens fan, but the ravens were beaten fair and square. they were up 14 not once but twice and have no one to blame but themselves for losing that game.
i do think the pats might not be the perennial power that they are if they had to play the ravens, steelers, and bengals twice a year instead of the jets, bills, and dolphins.
Wha Wha Wha.
I can hear the whining from Phoenix.
The game is over. Tomorrow is another game.
If it was an illegal play, throw the flag. Are we going to relive every play from September?
I hope the Pats mop up the floor with Seattle. That will give the whiners something to cry about all spring and summer.
Just goes to show how bad NFL officiating really is.
You’d almost think someone WANTED the Patriots to win.

And full disclosure, I’m a Viking fan. I’ll never see a Super Bowl in my lifetime.
Anyway, it was one of those brilliant autumn days, a perfect day for football.
I'm thinking the team that I can't remember should have won that game because the New England Patriots scored the winning touchdown on a play that should have been whistled dead because a) one of the Patriot players stamped hard on the foot of the player he was lined up with and b) when Tom Brady lobbed that pass, the receiver, whose name I can't remember, shouted "Your mother is an (expletive)" into the ear of the defending player, whose name I also can't remember, and neatly caught the ball and raced into the end zone for the winning touchdown, leaving the defending player in tears, thinking about the slur just made against his mother.
I'm telling you, those New England Patriots will stop at nothing to win a game.
