Patriots fans complaining about another team getting friendly officiating is laughable though.
I agree that officiating was terrible both ways. I also believe the game should / would of have at least gone to overtime without one of the two calls. Not saying pats would have won, refs ruined what should have been a better game. [Reply]

The worst one of course was the out of bounds call, but they got a field goal on that possession so it only cost them 4 points. Still not enough to say it cost them the game.
the PI no-call on Fuller they picked up on Brady's next play, so it didn't matter. [Reply]
It's a hard job. We train for dozens of hours over the course of the year but we still miss calls from time to time. It happens, we're only human. Humans that carry extra burdens in a world of uncertainty. I do admit it gets stressful not knowing what team your next paycheck is coming from.
We'll be better. This one's on us. We have to do better. [Reply]
Should have been at least that on the last mugging on Harry, sometimes PIs are PIs. That being said the phantom stuff is just as bad, such as the hold on Van Noy. Just bad officiating all around, took the possibility of another classic game away. Not sure anyone, other then Chiefs fans will remember this one as a good game. [Reply]
