That kind of scares me.

Another hugely popular regular season game, where most of America will be betting on the Patriots and betting on the underdog will yield huge results.

I can see another controversial Seattle-GB debacle. I'll be watching the flags closely tomorrow.

That's pretty much the biggest advantage the Jets have. I'm not saying this to rub in your face, but the only way the Pats can safely win this game is by running up the score to the point of embarrassment and take it out of the hands of the referees. I will be rooting for a huge first half blowout.

I can't stand Jim Nance and Phil Simms announcing our games. They should be doing the Ravens-Texans matchup- 2 best records in the AFC and 10000x more appealing (to the general public).

1: That debacle was caused by the replacements, not the regular refs.

2: Why would you be watching the flags? Considering we'll get flagged anytime we get within a foot of Brady, I'm pretty sure you guys will be fine.

Mind boggling that Patriots fans are making excuses ahead of time in case the game is close.

Nobody gets more BS gift penalties than the Pats.

We virtually never get them because we can't pass the ball and 75% of penalties these days are PI or personal fouls designed to give the offense an advantage.

It's the opposite of what we're going to do, but we should really go out and sling it on the Pats. They won't see it coming, it attacks their biggest weakness and we're not going to be able to run on them anyway. Why get behind 14-0 before we abandon the run after going 3 and out twice?

I trust the regular refs even less. They're much scarier to me. They're not incompetent. Those guys made it obvious.

2. Every elite QB gets his fair shot of calls his way, and every elite athlete in any sport. But as a team, we're not protected from getting screwed just as much as any other.

lol, all Brady has to do is ask for a flag and he'll get it. That's "fair"? The hell out of here if you're not gonna be serious.

I'm willing to stick up for the Pats on the whole "Cheatriots" thing, but you can't tell me the "You got too close to Brady" penalty is fair.

Wish that was true.

It is true. If he was on the other side of the ball, you'd be thinking the same thing as the rest of us.

Don't give me any of that "woe is me" crap. When your QB is a HoFer with a great supporting cast, wins 11+ games a year, and have the refs in your back pockets, you don't get to feel sorry for yourselves.

No one likes a rich white girl who complains.

Please elaborate.

Are you suggesting NFL referees are taking money from vegas casinos to essentially shave points?

The better argument, IMO, is that the NFL wants the prime time/national games to be close for ratings reasons.

Accusing a ref crew of being a bunch of Tim Donaghy's is a pretty serious accusation (particularly from a fan of a team who plays in a major market and has had a ton of success in recent years).

You must be kidding.

Brady gets just about every call and even gets calls he shouldnt.

Meanwhile Sanchez last year had numerous roughing calls missed by the refs in Sunday and those players were fined later in the week for illegal hits.

I like Simms, he's been in our corner a bit, lately, Nance is a Douche Jet hater

No doubt in my mind NFL games get cooked every single year. NFL is the easiest sport in the world to rig and way too much money at stake.

And what you are suggesting is probably true as well. Quite likely the NFL has their hand in as well at times and a lot of times it requires the refs in order to get their "close games".

So yeah, if it was between Brady and Sanchez as far as getting calls, I wouldn't be worried. But when you are talking about hundreds of millions and likely even billions of dollars at stake vs a popular quarterback, or even a popular team, then it's no longer about Brady or Sanchez or the Patriots or Jets. It's about money and whatever outcome makes them the most.
