Plot twist, Brady injured his hand running into Fournette

Notes on Referee(s):

AFC championship: Clete Blakeman (he ref'd our loss to the panthers where Kuechly bear-hugged Gronk and the flag was picked up or whatever.)

Super bowl: Gene Steratore (first time reffing a super bowl)

I still rage over that call..

Irony

Yeah, awful no call.

I don't fret about the ref choices though just thought i'd share it.

I was a little surprised this is steratore's first super bowl.

We always get hosed against Carolina. People say NE ALWAYS gets all the calls, watch either of the last couple Panther v NE games and tell me which way the fucking calls go rofl. Holds don't exist for Carolina when playing NE.

I just want this game to be officiated well. We already know that people will cry that the refs on our side, no matter what actually happens, but I'm just hoping for a well officiated game. Still scratching my head over everyone freaking on that OPI call that was clearly OPI lol. People just fucking hate NE that much.

Maybe take the blinders off buddy

Another note on referees:
AFC Championship: Al Riveron (He continuously/consistently overturns calls in NEs favor without required indisputable video evidence to overturn the call on the field, leading to multiple Pats victories that otherwise may not have happened)
Super Bowl: Al Riveron ( See above)

I'd say you're fine...

Irony

Lolololollllll. He only did that once with the Kelvin Benjamin TD (which shouldve been a TD) everything else was justified take your anti-patriots goggles off you sore loser.

The James overturned TD in the Steelers game can be justified by a cloudy judgement rule. So can the ASJ overturned TD in the Jets game...UNTIL YOU CONSIDER.... Cooks' "catch" vs Houston? He caught the TD, and lost control when he hit the ground. Riveron inexplicably DID NOT overturn this one... which led to yet another Pats win on Riveron's judgement.

How can Riveron possibly justify overturning James', ASJ's, and Benjamins' TDs for losing control, when he chooses NOT to overturn a Patriot's (Cooks) TD for the same damn thing?


To be clear, I'm not bashing the Pats, nor am I anti Pats. Brady's the greatest QB of all time, and BB is the greatest coach of all time (Sorry Chuck). I can understand why there are so many pats haters though. Pats fans are blind to the bias that happens from the refs and get all defensive. It's there.. Does that mean that NE isn't still a great team? No. Just the fact that the fans can't acknowledge that there are so many calls that go in your favor because you're the Pats leads to Pats bashing.

I just find it funny that Pats fans would even try to lay the groundwork for excuses in upcoming games by pointing out that the refs are going to be against them! This is the ref that made one call against us! He's going to be out to get us! Then, if we make it to the SB, there's going to be a newbie in there! He's not going to know how to make calls in our favor properly! THAT'S why I posted about Riveron.
