Disagree.
No one wants to see the Pats in Baltimore against the Raves in an AFC Title game. It will be another blowout for Baltimore.
Chiefs vs. Ravens. Rematch. Mahomes vs. Jackson. Last years MVP vs. this years probable MVP. It’s the match up everyone wants to see, including the NFL.
Assuming the Chiefs stay the #3 seed and take care of business at home, I imagine the NFL will do as much as it can (much like it has been done for NE over the years) to make sure the Pats go down to the Chiefs again.
And if it means another ‘controversial’ win . . . . . good. Fuck em.
Tired of them getting the benefit of the doubt on B.S. officiating for years. Bout time someone bent them over.
It’ll be so delicious to hear them bitching and moaning again after they get knocked out of the playoffs one and done.
Fuck off, Pats Nation, forever! Your fraud dynasty is done!! [Reply]

I might normally agree with this point, but not in this game against that team. We got screwed on a ton of calls. Like others have said, if the officiating had been good then we may have beaten them by 2 or 3 scores. [Reply]

I was thinking...wait for it, wait for it? Even though there was no foul.
I waited for that on every single incompletion by Brady, but I really expected it then. That was an excellent play by Breeland. [Reply]
Maybe now that the all important Patriots :-) have been affected, so drastically by the refs, something will be done to address the issue. The last 2 years have been the worst reffing that I have ever seen in the NFL.:-) Significantly!:-) [Reply]
I find it ridiculous that the narrative from the media this year is ‘yeah, the Pats offense couldn’t do shit, but the refs really fucked them over big time’ whereas last year after the AFC Title game it was ‘yeah, the Chiefs got boned on some bad calls, but ultimately it was their fault for not being able to stop Brady’.
I mean, come the fuck on. Can you be ANY more intellectually dishonest while talking out of both sides of your mouth, east coast media??
"The reaction to, for the 1st time in my memory, some tough calls going against New England is so rich and borderline unbelievable. It sucks to have the calls go against you. That's the NFL in 2019 guys, welcome to it New England Patriot fans." — @getnickwrightpic.twitter.com/BuV5GAhKyT
