88Comrade2000 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 My preseason Superbowl pick was New England. I just didn't see anyone beating them and so far, that's been the case. I don't expect either the Vikings or Eagles to beat the Pats but the Vikings will give them a closer game. Philly and the Pats may finally have a Superbowl where it isn't that close.

Refs were, in fact, celebrating with Pats players after a TD. That happened. There's a touch more to the universal loathing for them than mere jealousy. The thing is that's a given that weird or beyond weird things happen when you play in NE. JAX should've played more aggressively to not allow NE to win that game. It was there for the taking, but they didn't grab hold of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing their 32nd pick became a slap on the wrist And Elite teams don't need the benefit of the doubt, so **** just accepting that. They're elite? They shouldn;t need the slightest advantage over the non-elie Losing a 1st round pick is a slap in the wrist? Okay then. Whether they need to or not is beyond the point. In every sport every year since the beginning of time, the best player and best teams get the benefit of the doubt. Michael Jordan got more calls in his favor. Roger Clemens had a bigger strike zone. Wayne Gretzky got more power play opportunities. Welcome to sports. If you want to hate them for being good, that's your right, but to whine about them being cheaters and the league being rigged in their favor just makes you come across as ignorant and, to be honest, like a whiny child.

TradeTheBeal! Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Jags with the cover! Pats ran 42 pass plays without a single holding call. Only one penalty in the entire game. You don’t see that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's so annoying watching teams beat them for most of a game and then lose their minds late to blow it. The Seahawks did it, the Falcons didi it, the Jaguars did it. Clearly, a lead on the Patriots, or outplaying them the first 3 quarters doesn't mean you're in control or winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Well, what do you know. Never would’ve guessed NE would make the SB. So different from years past. I’m done watching for the year. **** the SB. Not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Reparations Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I was wondering if there were any prior Redskins that were playing for the Patriots. Happy to see Ricky Barkley Jean Francois carrying the AFC Championship trophy off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that the Patriots are getting TDs on drives built on borderline PIs that get called, while the Jags are having drives get ended on plays where the Patriots are grabbing their receivers and the refs don't even think about calling anything. At best they're calling it one way and not the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball was uncatchable. Even illegal contact was borderline. Both players were hand fighting. At worst it should’ve been 5 yards auto 1st down. I’ve seen games where that wasn’t even a flag. i also don’t like an official in a circle of pats players smiling and laughing. Likely taken out of context, but still a bad look.

I blame the Bortles and the Jags play calling more than the refs because they had the lead for the majority of the game and couldn't put it away which kept the Patriots in it. Blaming the refs is getting tired and old. Patriots aren't undefeated at home in the AFC championship game. Ask the 2012 Ravens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I’d like everyone to know that I will be rooting for the Eagles to win this thing. If they can get the monkey off their back and bring another Lombardi back to the NFC East, I’m perfectly fine with that and I think it’s a good thing. Plus, I know a few Eagles fans and they’re really good friends and good people. All the Vikes/Pats fans that I know personally are racist, bro-Country clown shoes.

Looked like the reciever was body blocked/pushed out of bounds to me. Didnt look like a ridiculous call.
