Think about all of the playoff games that Clete Blakeman, Jeff Triplette, and Jerome Bogar have officiated.
They need to pay refs a hell of a lot more and hold them a hell of a lot more accountable to rinse this shit out.
The refs certainly let the PI on Adams go and it was and end zone play. Then they turn around and call one for Brady just to secure the win. It's such obvious rigging. They made sure Brady won for the old lion vs young lion story line. [Reply]

I agree that it's a penalty, but in the context of that game with what wasn't called, you can't call that a penalty.
If you're playing a basketball game where the refs are whistling every hand check, you adjust and stop hand checking. If you are playing in a game where you can get mugged going to the basket with no call, and then you get hit on the arm on your way to the bucket, it is a foul, but it shouldn't be called in the context of the game.

It was the correct call.. The refs were in the Packers pocket most of the game letting the OL hold on every play. [Reply]

Rodgers is an old lion too, and Brady and Mahomes have already met in the playoffs. It's not that broad of a decision--it's the individual back judge.
If we can all agree that boxing judges are paid off (watch any Golden Boy Fight--De La Hoya always pays off at least one), then we have to consider that individual shitbird refs can do the same thing for their own financial benefit. [Reply]

I have no doubt some do. One of the reasons they are not allowed to talk to any media outlet ever. I mean for life. They know everything. All the dirt. [Reply]

Pretty good comparison. Given how great of a regular season he had, this feels like a black mark on his record. He really needed to get the win against Brady today. [Reply]
