Minus the fact that was the right call at the time... The point is that there are examples on both sides, you simply decide to look at one side and conclude there is a conspiracy. You are wrong.
"the 'right' call at the time" wow, got to save that one somewhere. But your conclusion is right then haha
1) No 2) The same rule was called against the Patriots that year while they were playing....you guessed it. The Jets. Were the referees, in 2001, being biased for the Patriots when they called it in the Oakland game and against the Patriots when they called it in the Jets game?
it was a dumb rule but the proper call. most people didn't understand it at the time(including myself) but that rule has benefitted us many times through the years just not in a game that big.
I disagree there, I know the play you are talking about as I saw a clip somewhat recently and the plays were not the same. Either way the proper call was made in the playoffs.
