In the same way, you're looking at the game through black and gold colored glasses. Your team won. You hate to see the slightest doubt cast on the outcome. You want your team to be acknowledged as the best in the world. You don't want anyone to tarnish what happened.
As a Pats fan, congratulations. Your guys won. You're the champs. Yay. You'll get the parade and the rings, and if I know the NFL schedule makers, quiet possibly the New England Patriots at home on opening night next year. Great job. Enjoy the offseason until then. Wear your Ben Roth jersey with pride. Wave that terrible towel.
But please, don't tell me I didn't see what my own eyes saw. That game was ridiculous. This entire playoff season has been ridiculous. All due to grossly poor officiating. We were simply discussing our opinions. Sorry to "disappoint" you.
You should have seen the palpitations I had when the refs gave The Patriots that game a few years back!!!!
