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.
Were you in the game thread for the Titans game? Every team gets bad/good calls, and yes, unfortunately we've had a couple of questionable ones at pivotal moments, but the majority of them have been non-factors, and there have been 0 SBs marred by horribad calls to * the championship (regardless how hard people want to try). Same can be said for the AFCCG minus the infamously horribly called tuck bullshit against the Raiders, which was just fucking egregious, and the same can be said for the divisional rounds as well.
I made a comment that regardless of what happens, people are going to say they only win because of the refs, because regardless of what happens, that's what some people will say, like Odell here. Some people are just so blinded by their hate of the franchise, that they honestly believe a 20 point score differential would have been negated had one deserved penalty not be called, which is fucking insanity lol. I've never denied that we get horrible calls that favor us from time to time, I'm usually the first to post about what a bullshit penalty it was, and same goes for when it happens against other teams, or when other teams don't get calls that they should when playing against us. I hate bad officiating regardless of who it happens to, and I'm always going to bitch about it, or say that it's not right when it happens. Doesn't matter though, we're all just blinded homers and none of us have a clue, since that's the way people want to perceive us. Is what it is.
