I won't detail all the others which together ended up costing NE the win.   So, again.....enough of the "League favors NE" nonsense.   You have no case.

No case? 

Go check out your last 8 playoff games. See which side has more penalties.

No thanks, I'm not wasting my time researching the last 8 PO games....what do you think that would "prove"?

It couldn't be that the Patriots are far more disciplined and football educated than all other 32 teams and simply do not beat themselves very often with penalties?  No?  Why would any reasonable person jump to the insane conclusion that they are receiving preferential treatment?  That is so absurd.  Why?  because if that were the true intent of the League, Deflategate penalties, including the loss of 2 draft picks, would NEVER have been pursued. 

Think about it!  Use some common sense.
