I agree. I'm not sad, it just pisses me off how it all went down with the refs and everyone else in the NFL fan world is seeing it except the Pats fans and NFL hind lickers.

As someone else said in another thread, we should have been able to win regardless of the refs but we stopped attacking on offense and went softer on defense, but the key ref decisions did make a huge difference, I don't care what anyone says. 

My husband was watching something earlier that showed how the refs put seconds back on the play clock in several Pats games in their favor when Brady gave them a particular hand signal so they wouldn't get penalized for delay of game or some such thing. I haven't had a chance to look at it, but if that's true and it can be proven I would hope those games would be forfeited at some point. Even if it doesn't change anything for that season and if it's yet another cheat on the organization maybe something could be finally done. Could you imagine if Brady went down as bad as Lance Armstrong? Not that it would ever happen.
