Obviously the Pats are extremely well coached, but I don't think anyone can deny that this game was blatantly steered towards the eventual outcome.
The NFL is a billion dollar industry, you didn't think they would allow Bortles vs Keenum/Foles in the biggest game of the year did you?
This is just WWE on a slightly bigger stage.
I honestly thought the game was called really well. I liked how there were very few flags and they let the two teams play. Very clean game by two great teams.
I saw two poor calls. I thought the PI against Cooks at the end of the first half wasn't a PI. The ball looked like it was uncatchable and yes Bouye put his hands on Cooks but Cooks was basically running out of bounds. On the other side, refs missed an obvious late and low hit on Brady.
In the last 10 minutes of that game, where were the plays that were clearly steered towards a Pats win? I must have been watching another game. But who cares, the whole whining about the refs is so played out. Anytime an outcome doesn't go your way you can pull that card.
