After the cameragate incident, the NFL can't stand the fact that the Pats are going to go undeafeated (19-0). And its obvious they are trying to stop the Pats. All you had to do was watch the Pats-Colts game. 140 yards in penalty yardage vs. the Colts... thats BS.. the Pats never put up those kind of penalty numbers. Pass inteferfence calls against Moss and Hobbs were bull, and then the refs always seemed to throw in a person foul: unessecary roughness penalty when a Pats play touched a Colts player.

Come on, don't be That Guy...

Trust me, if the Pats lost that game I would have been livid. I assume you watched the game, how many calls were in favor of the Colts? Zero were in favor of the Pats

if they were rigging games for them to lose, they would have lost.

Naw man, the Pats are just too good. I'll give credit though to Colts though, they are way better than I thought they would be. Even without Harrison they were 10 minutes away from beating the Pats. I hope both teams are fully healthy for the re-match in the AFC championship game

The PI calls were iffy at best and awful at worst, but that's par for the course in the NFL. Even though this specific problem gets bashed by fans and analysts year-in and year-out, it sticks around. In this game, the calls happened to go against the Pats. It happens.

They deserved the personal foul calls they got, from what I saw. Matt Light blatantly tripped Freeney over; in a different context, that move might be put in the same light as the A-Rod ball slap. They never showed his second PF on camera, but I doubt foul play's at hand there. They did show Willie Andrews shoving a Colt for a good five seconds after the player was out of bounds, so I have no issue with that call either.

Steer clear of the conspiracy theories. The Knicks drafted Ewing fair and square, the MLB isn't trying to bring down black players no matter what Gary Sheffield says, and Roger Goodell isn't trying to make one of his most successful franchises lose.

They deserved all those penalties except maybe one of the PI


thats how sports is today. bad calls go both ways

there's no conspiracy

Come on, don't be That Guy...

Every team has bad calls against them

Come on, don't be that guy..

LMAO! Damn you Cameragate.

Typical

My team is 7-0 and not getting any calls

Hobbs just reminded one of the sideline refs the guy who robbed him in the parking lot 20 years ago. That's all.

BS007, get off RealGM.

It's not a conspiracy you tool. Stop making the rest of us look bad.

I would normaly call BS, if there was not a history of this type of stuff from the refs for the Colts. Don't get me wrong, the Pats get there fair share of calls. Although, watching these two teams being some of the better teams the last ten years, you see alot of terrible calls go in favor of the Colts. See, Steelers game 2 years ago. The refs tried hard to win that game for them, even Joey Porter spoke publicly about how the NFL tried to screw them. So there is a history of this.

They pretty much, single handedly turned the NFL into what baseball is now. Instead of hitting jacks guys are throwing the ball 4500 yards down field, and 30+ td's at insane rates. Hell even Bulger has put up better number than the Montanas and Elways of the world.

The first PI on Hobbs was iffy, but dont have a problem with it. The second was text book cover skills, and the Colts got a field goal out of a bad call. Obviously the Moss OPI, but another one that comes to mind is the Brackens play when he hooked Faulk, on that huge 3rd down.

One more was when Moss, was called. You look at it from one angle, and it looks like Moss pushed off. Then you look at it from another angle, and the DB is clearly holding moss' arm down. If you are going to make that bogus Hobbs PI. You should atleast be consistant.

Now the unsportsman like conduct's were warrented. But I believe, if it was a fairly refed game, there penalty yardage is half of what it was, and they win going away.

I just find it odd, one of the best teams at not getting penalties, sets a team record and looks like the Raiders on the biggest game of the year.

I have no problem with iffy calls, but when they happen to come in the one game where they could legitimately affect the outcome, thats when I begin to wonder.

Rumor has it there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll. And, instead of a gun, this shooter was holding a video camera to steal signals from the Kennedy family riding in the car. Sadly, while Belichick was working on jamming the frequency of the secret service agents surrounding Kennedy, he inadvertently set it to a frequency that caused JFKs head to explode.

True story. Saw it on the History Channel right after the show on Robert Kraft
