The game was there to win independent of the refs. Did they make it a bit harder? Sure but we got away with calls too. We lost the game because of bad coaching , not because of the refs.

Football is a game of inches.  Its ok to accept the L because it will never change, but dont blame the coaches or the players.  The refs screwed us and that is the only reason we lost.  i dont care what happened outside of that, but blown calls ruin a game...even 1.  

Tell yourself whatever you like, i just disagree whole-heartedly.

You think this coaching staff and team just went "Ok the only we reason we lost that game was because the refs screwed us, everything we did was good enough"? Of course not. 

The coaches bottled it in the 2nd half and you can't do that against most playoff teams but especially not the Patriots. 

Those kinds of losses hurt more. We beat ourselves when we had a historic win and superbowl berth away from us.

We've been though this several times already though. Although they played a role (like most games) refs didn't decide who won or lost that game. We just didn't execute well enough
