They have the power to flip a game one way or another. Scary really.
its hilarious how they try to paint themselves as the victims, not realizing everbody, and it is everybody, hate the patriots
See, it's so bad it's making 49ers fans and Seahawk fans agree on something, as I'm a 49ers fan and agree.
The outcome of the NFC game pissed me off, the AFC game made it worse.
Rooting for the Rams makes me want to hurl.
I'm not going to bitch about the OT rules (even though they're garbage).
All I'm going to say is that the NFL has to get the issue with the officials figured out. What happened in the NFC Championship game is inexcusable. They've been awful all year.

we hating on the New England Trumps. what else would we be doing?
i know. and in time, i'll be able to see it that way. it just stings now.
and it's not like there weren't highlights this season. we won a playoff game at home! a god damn miracle!
tonight was a ridiculously fun game, and i'm proud of the team for clawing their way back into it. good game, from this currently depressed chiefs fan
sound like one of those "why are there so many threads about trump on the main page?" posts
Tom Brady doesn't support Trump. He said so. He supports kneeling for the anthem and said Trump was being divisive.
Make up whatever nonsense you need to to make yourself feel better, but those are facts.
The thing is, this isn't actually that shocking or impressive.
Any team is prepped and knows what they are up against. If a defense is prepared, they are very much aware of what the offense is likely going to run. If they aren't, then you get completely busted plays and it's a shit show.
Romo knowing how an offense runs based on a line set up isn't all that impressive, he was a star QB for over a decade, I would expect him to read an offense with a high success rate. What exactly is he going to do that a competent DC can't? DC's aren't the one executing the plays and match ups.
(Good) Teams spend all week prepping and seeing what they will face, rest is simply execution.
Romo isn't shocking the football world by going "Gronk is out wide, Brady will throw to him." The Cheifs know that Brady is looking for that match up, but they just got burned twice down the middle of the field on two back to back third down plays and need to shut it down, so they take that chance with a 1:1 match up and roll the dice.
I think you can make penalties be able to be challenged. There are times like where you should absolutely be able to force the refs to take a second look at a play. Also, introduce goal line or pylon cameras onto every game.
Funny seeing all these new names barging in here trying to act the villain with some variant of "GIVE ME THAT SALT MMMM THAT SALT IS SO TASTY SALT SALT SALT" and then cry so much about the inevitable Trump posts.
If you're going to pretend to be a villain then do it properly and embrace the fact that your beloved QB and coach have publicly admitted that they are horrible racist shitbags.
Own that shit. I shall be rooting for the Pats in the Owl and am hoping one of you Pats lifelongs can lend me one of your spare white hoods and MAGA cap.
LET'S GO PATS

And what's the end game here? Okay so let's say we establish Brady supports Trump, then what? Should Pat fans stop rooting for their team? Does rooting for their team/players mean they support Trump and his bigoted policies? Is every Chiefs fan okay with domestic violence? Is every Colts fan okay with sexual assault? Or is this a special exception because it's Trump and therefore somehow worse than rooting for a guy who beats up on pregnant women? Where does this go?
asterisks fan doesn't like me calling his cheating ass team Asterisks.Referring to the Pats as "asterisks" in 2019.
I can't wait for the 11pm news report on this.
Oh now the goal posts have moved to supported. I see. Maybe in a few more posts we can wittle it down to something even more reasonable. And so on and so on.
Boy, I'd hate to be that player that was offside on Kansas City.
That was the game right there.
That was the game right there.
See to me the loss of Hunt hurt Tyreek more than anyone else. In the first matchup Hill was able to blow holes in the coverage because the defense had to digest so much attention to Hunt, who is every bit as much a home run hitter out of the backfield as Hill is on the outside.
Without that two-printed speed approach, it allowed Bill to actually shrink his coverage radius and contain Hill a little better.
The better question is: Where was the gameplan to get Kelce more involved? Because I'm not sure if the league knows this, but.......our LBs are a liability in coverage.
I don't think so, not for me. I'm an outsider looking in and it seems strange to me compared to how other sports regulate extra time and tiebreakers. Half of the team (chiefs) did not even get on the field in overtime. Deciding tiebreakers where only half the team gets to play based off a coin toss?
Pretty sure Belichick has been pushing for those things for years.
oh geez, i didn't realize he said so. open and shut case, then.
and i hate the Asterisks as much as anybody, quite probably more, but this sanctimony game with the NFL has no winners. there is at least one player on your team present or past who was an absolute dirtbag.
They refuse to reply to my question: what woke NFL teams should I root for? I am dying to know!
Kinda ridiculous that you pick this game of all to harp on that. As you even mentioned, they got called on it, and a much more blatant example of it led to a long hugely important KC play.
Get that Trump shit out of here... he hasn't came out supporting anything Trump has become since taking office.
And all those players can fuck off too. I am not saying what they did is better or worse than Brady being a Trump supporter. I am just sick of seeing Brady get a pass for his off the field politics because he is the "GOAT" and then when you try to point his shit to Pats fans they write it off as "salt" or use some other juvenile excuse. Its just annoying to see the sports community ignore all his problems because he is the "GOAT".
I mean, they got two interceptions and should have had the game winning third. They definitely played sloppy af at points but the offense was also too slow to start, which I blame in part on Mahomes being on a leash at the beginning.
The only true Trump supporter was Brees, and the universe Punished him for that and his more recent crimes.
Everyone wins today.
Everyone wins today.
I mean he was doubled all game. Bill belichick and company took out the x factor of the chiefs offense.
I've been watching since 03? How does Spygate and deflating footballs explain 15 years of straight dominance? Granted I've never played football at this level but, I've seen great teams die out pretty fast yet the Pats are still here...going to the SB again.
Just how? And do you honestly think all the other NFL teams are being good people and playing by the rules?
Like I'm not even trolling. I'm asking honest questions. What the Pats do is legit amazing to me. Football is random as fuck with so many moving parts affecting each and every play. How do they remain so damn consistent? This isn't some rigged shit like Alabama hogging all the best players here either. How many teams would Edelman even start for in the league?
It's less that I don't like and more that I'm amused at your salt.
For decades after you have left this planet, the Patriots and Brady will be known as the best to have ever been involved in the NFL.
you want a real answer? brady and belichick chose to openly have varying levels of support for donald trump. that is why they recieve critism for it. the other stuff doesn't help, but that's why they hear about the trump stuff. pretty simple.
Root for the team whose roster doesn't include any criminals and who isn't owned by a guy who was complicit in hiding CTE information from players and blackballing Colin Kaepernick. I'll wait.
Oh God, stop, put it in another thread. This is about football. Chill out dude.
I'm not sure why Belichick is relevant to this conversation. I wasn't specifically calling any team out, just saying they need to change the impact the refs have on the game.
Brady is going to end the shutdown singlehandedly because Trump knows his best mates won't come to the White House if McDonalds is on the menu. What a great man.
I guess in the face of your eternal need to believe in it, it falls short. But what wouldn't?
Kinda equally ridiculous that you give Brady all the credit when a large part of his continued success is the offense he operates in. Belichick and that snake mcdaniels put their QB in the best position to succeed. They are better at that than any other team in the league which is why the asterisks are again in the Super Bowl.
His best call isn't even in that video. It's nuts. Selfishly I want him to do commentary forever tho because he makes me feel like I know what's going on way more than I actually do lol
