Is it me?

or did it seem like the refs was a big reason in the loss?

i know i know, all out on the punt was a big factor ( i don't even think it was roughing the kicker ) but i mean, alot of those penalties gave them a touchdown, and took us out of scoring range.

Our coaches took us out of any position win with their play calling and "half time" lack of adjustments. The refs were just an added bonus.

No you've got a point man. The refs definately helped bring the pats back in the game and helped them gain momentum. John Fox also screwed us by not feeding the stud(D-will) going for that long field goal and not covering Welker.

You're not alone. While Fox did some stupid call (Kasay should never kick a FG 53 yards in the rain), but the refs deserve the blame more. They made some BS calls on us. Lewis got an unnecessary roughness one time & he hardly did anything to or even touch him Brady in the 1st Q early. :rant:

Blaming the refs is a cop out.

Blaming the refs is a cop out.

Im not fully blaming the refs, just felt like to me i knew there first touchdown wasn't earned and it gave them momentum to get back into the game, if they didn't get that or just got a field goal, we coulda came out in the 2nd half and played our game.

That's just my feeling on the game.

Those refs needed to go back to the synagogue. Seriously.

You know sometimes I wish I could just be an announcer for the day and call out everyones bullshit. Like the refs for example. I would totally be ragging on them. " Patriots picked up a bullshit TD just before the half."

" 10 plays later refs cheat panthers out of a crucial 3rd down"

" You know what Berman? Your're a fuging idiot you know that?"

" How scary is Steve Smith Gruden?

I would only have the job for like 5 seconds but it would worth it. They need to get called out on their poo so we can have less bogus calls. This has been the worst season ever for officiating. I'm not just talking about our games, but around the league as well.

Penalties need to be challenge-able it's only way to stop it.

and i agree, but it would never happen as they think it would take too much time off the game.
