Even the out of bounds call though...they still had first and goal from the 3!
It’s not like a missed call on a turnover, where a scoring opportunity is either given or taken away. They still had 3 downs to go 3 yards and they couldn’t do it. The DL of the Chiefs absolutely wrecked that Patriot OL. 2 negative plays and an incompletion. One team was just mentally tougher in that situation. [Reply]

I used to think this way. But after decades of getting buttfucked by thin air, cooking spray, phantom holds, winning touchdowns called out of bounds, uncalled obvious penalties and obvious called bad penalties, I don't care anymore. I just want to win. There is no fucking honor in this game; maybe there never was, but there sure as hell isn't now.
If we'd won because Andy paid a ref to shoot Brady in the face with a bazooka, at this point I'd take it. Gleefully. There's no amount of bad/blown calls that they don't richly deserve. [Reply]

We'll be better. This one's on us. We have to do better.
I love doing jersey bets. Kids enjoy it. Actually can almost every week since fandom is so diverse now. This will be better than me wearing an Eddie George jersey a few weeks ago. [Reply]

The officials probably did ruin what would have went down as a better game but you’re delusional if you think that ending would have been in overtime. Even if you tied you would have been giving the MVP the ball with a minute left and 2 timeouts only needing a field goal. I don’t think any of us on this board would have minded seeing that ending either. [Reply]

I would just refer Pats fans to the ridiculously horrible phantom roughing the passer penalty in the AFCCG, when we hit Brady's shoulder pad, and tell them to :-)
