The penalty on Bouye while he was covering Cooks was the most ticky-tacky call considering Cooks was shoving him the whole way down the field, Bouye had perfect positioning, Cooks took a bad angle (since Bouye had better inside position) stepped out of bounds, and to top it off IT WASN'T A CATCHABLE BALL. If anything an argument can be made for Illegal Contact, but PI? thats a 40 yard swing that puts them into the redzone with less than a minute rather than moving the ball 5 yards. The one on Jalen i'll give you. And the Gronk one would not have been called if it was a Pats defender on a Jags passcatcher and everyone here knows it.

Pats got away with murder. The supppeerrrr late delay of game penalty and the early whistle on Jacks fumble recovery were game changers. The NFL will look into the clear bias, and hopefully when the Pats come down to Duval next year they wont get any help from the men in stripes to screw the Jags.

Patriots played well enough to win and executed the plays they needed to, hats off to them. But you're kidding yourself if you think that the Pats didn't commit a SINGLE penalty on Offense or Defense given the soft nature of the calls they got the other way. We'll see you again in the 904 next season, and you better bring your A game since It'll be in prime time with the refs briefed to let em play.. believe that.

Cooks was trying to cut back in and was mauled out of bounds. Easy call on a very catchable Ball. The Gronk call was even easier. That gets called 100% of the time.

There was more contact from Cooks on to Bouye than Vice Versa. If this call was made on a Patriots DB you'd be livid. It was good coverage, there was incidental contact on both sides (the ball was no where near a catchable pass ... give your optometrist a call).

The Gronk Call I agree is a penalty even though Gronk ducked his head. But lets be honest, I don't think the Jags would get this call if it were a patriots defender onto a Jags receiver, Gronk being a patriot and having "star power" absolutely factored into him getting that flag.

Can you honestly tell me that the Patriots played penalty free football on both offense and defense? Do you honestly believe there wasn't a clear disparity in how the officiating was enforced between the 2 teams? I know you're biased as a Pats homer but lets see how objective you're really being. Further, without the help from the Zebras... do you think the Patriots still have a chance in this game?
