Quote:You know the Patriots lost a game because of a bad call too, right?


I don't understand how a team can have 10 wins and not clinch a playoff spot yet. It is very rare for a 10-win team to miss the playoffs.

Yes, I know the Pats lost to the Panthers on a terrible call. But, they also had a terrible call go against the Saints when the Pats pulled that one out.


A lot of calls have been in play for the Pats this year that had great determination in the outcome of their games.


The Bengals yesterday got the benefit of Triplette screwing up again. But, that had almost no bearing on the game. The Bengals almost steamrolled the Colts. The Colts scored a garbage TD to make the final score look even remotely close. The Bengals have been on the short end of the stick from Refs bad calls for years. About time they got one in their favor.


With 10 win teams not clinching: as long as a few teams are hanging just a couple games back, its still possible for playoff teams to be jumped around. Heck, the Bengals are still in danger of not winning their division and not even making the playoffs (very unlikely, but still possible).


P.s- I hate the Ravens. I wish they'd just LOSE another game already!
