I agree with this. But, if you've watched sports, you always know the besties get the calls. See Manning, Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, etc.... Its just the messed up world of sports. Its like the great ones earn it or something. The fumble play that was blown dead was done because it was such an uncanny play and no one really knew what happened until the replay. Funny thing is, this same type of play has happened to us before and we were on the other side of the call. It was a Monday night game, against Rex Ryan and the Bills. So it happens, sometimes you are on the bad side, sometimes the good side. But that play was so weird that I think the refs just blew the whistle on instinct.

Even the Steelers got hosed in their regular season loss to the Pats, which gave NE home field advantage throughout the playoffs

Maybe but we've owned the Steelers for years. No one fears them over here, I promise. But it really wasn't a catch. Look at the rules for surviving the ground as a "receiver", not a RB. It wasn't a catch and as you know, that team is so badly coached. They 4 minutes to come up with a play on the 4 yard line and they throw a pass on a one-man route while being covered by 3 people. The team is super dumb. Doug Marrone is a good coach, even when we played him while he was with the Bills. Your team will be here again, I know it.
