Thread: 2017 Other NFL Games Discussion

The play went on for 2 more real time seconds when 0:01 hit the clock.

you cant make this shit up

No wonder NFL is losing fans.

Why would a league, under Goodell,that is often adversarial to the Patriots (and rightfully so) cheat for them?

The fact that officiating has been pretty consistently crappy all year long with various teams only proves that they have been inconsistent with everyone this year. Bad calls isnt a Pats only issue.

Just finished FTing with my son in Oki, and Patriots kicking ass. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Yep. Whatever obstacles. Like rules.

I don't believe it's active cheating, I think it's the star syndrome like the NBA suffers from. They get the benefit of the doubt constantly.

The Pats are #2 in my reasons for not watching the NFL very much anymore. Uneven application of shitty rules is the #1 reason. It's not a good product right now, in fact it's terrible.

That clock thing tho...really looks like a homer field advantage

Like many NFL teams, even those who dont get caught.

Exactly. Just more proof of how slanted the NFL is against them that they seem to be the only ones routinely caught cheating. Everyone else is doing it, NFL just turning a blind eye.

The Pats have long had weird things happen in their advantage at Gillette. Opposing teams headsets not working, weird time things and accusatioons of bugs being planted. The Pats are easily the scummiest organization in football.

The clock was debatable as the player did go down to the ground with 1 second left. My only issue is i dont know how they got the timeout in on time but ive seen that shit happen in other games before so i just dont get the outrage when it just happens to be the Pats. Either way, they missed the kick so its much ado about nothing at this point.

Dont know if the NFL it is turning a blind eye or if NE is just incredibly bad at hiding it. But, i think because of their success the spotlight shines more brightly on them whereas if it was the Browns nobody would really care.

Before delivered to the light, I thought that the Steelers got all the calls in the world. After years of them not being a rival, and not micromanaging every game against them, I don't believe that. When I watch them play it doesn't look like that, either.

Just a thought, Chaz. Not presented as 'proof' or anything.

Thats interesting, i guess the clock guy isnt someone from the stadium but affiliated with the NFL. I always assumed the clock people were part of the stadium personnel.

Either way its not enjoyable to watch. If the Pats make it to the SB then this will be the first year in my life that I don't watch it.
