It's honestly ridiculous. I don't believe there is some conspiracy but the amount of calls that NE gets that other teams don't is just unexplainable. 

Jaguars were the most penalized team all year. Keep reaching tho

Go away. Jesus Christ

 

And also, no they weren’t. Not even close to being true.

What does that have to do with how the game was called today? Lol

I mean it’s a fair point? They played undisciplined all year. That clearly hurt them today. Sorry the truth hurts.

Not as ridiculous as the tin foil hat conspiracy theories.

It would be a fair point if it was true or if we were complaining about the Jaguars having a bunch of deserving calls against them. But it isn’t true. And it isn’t what’s being argued.

 

Here’s something that actually true though. The Patriots were the beneficiary of more penalty yards given to them than anyone in the league this year, and are consistently top 5 in beneficial flags nearly every year.

You had one penalty called against you guys all game...and it was on ST.

Keep trying to justify it tho.

I thought this game was called fairly and evenly! Hats off to the refs and great game Patriots. You deserve this victory!

[pwny]

 

Yeah, it’s the Jaguars being undisciplined that is the reason why these weren’t called. Okay. 

[LeeEvans]

Those all look like good, clean football plays to me @iPwn. Unless the jerseys were flipped of course.

Yeah, personally, I think it would be a mistake to replace Bortles. Today was impressive and like I said in the other thread, the team is behind him.

When the defensive players go out of their way to talk up the QB and defend him, it is a clear sign they believe in him.

I agree.

There was ups and downs this year but what he showed in PIT and NE when it mattered look large.

We pick at the end of the first and there is little on the market besides Cousins who will be a clear upgrade.

Draft a guy and sit him behind Blake regardless of where we take him.

I won’t be mad if we roll with Blake again but we can’t baby him. 

Have to open up the passing game to make the boxes lighter for Leo.

If we can harness the play calling from about half of the games, we might have something.

Having a consistent #1 to work with will do wonders too.
