    Last night I watched the patriots play the Vikings and the things that I noticed really pissed me off. The defense was popping the opposing players after initial contact every time the DB's were holding all day. Now granted they beat the crap out of the Vikings but the defensive play was violent at times. I?m starting to really believe there?s slanted officiating during these games because "It?s New England".

    Bob Kraft and Belechek are very powerful people in the NFL. The Patriots will and do get the benefit of the doubt on calls. I'll refer to the Oakland playoff game as one. also the Colts- Pats playoff game (or was that mugging :grin: ). Also the better teams and players will get the benefit from the officials.Mangini and the Jets might get these calls in their favor one day!

    It's about respect. Like I said in different posts, if it was a Manning throwing that ball instead of Pennington, it would of gotton reviewed

    It would have been called a TD with no review.

    No it wouldn't have it was NOT a reviewable play. They would however probably ruled it a touchdown.

    completely agree, zebras know whatever Peyton does he will get a lot of press (hence the zebras) and they rather err on the "Peyton side" than any other side ... TD for sure.

    I saw a play last night while the Vikings were trying to get back into the game (It wasn’t a blow out yet) and the New England defender is holding on to the wide receivers arm and no call. (The commentator said he should have been laying the ball and not looking for the pass interference) but how could he play the ball when his arm is BEING HELD! They have to do something that will not allow for games to get taken away from teams, I know we have been on the other side of this equation but I think this is the most pressing thing that has developed from a lot of bad calls lately.
    (Roughing the passer, unessecary roughness ECT.) Someone had mentioned if a running back can stretch the ball over the goal line as their flying out of bounds how could bakers catch not be a touch down!!! Even the best official can make a bad judgment but there’s too many tools in their hands to get things like this correct .I keep hearing that this is not reviewable but there have been other plays like this that the field judges have gotten together and made that right call and vise versa.

    Was there an explanation as to why the Wiggins catch was ruled incomplete. He ran three yards up field before he fumbled?
    Bellicheck yelled and got the call reversed and then upheld
    Unbelievable
