That kind of sucks because the Pats were HANDED a game by the refs.
And that BS about the Pats being screwed by the refs is funny, since the Pats don't beat the Saints without some conveniently overlooked holds in that game "winning" drive in that game. Of course, that win helped us so it bothers me in a football karma sort of way, but I am thankful because I wouldn't want to be closer the Saints after that loss to the 49ers.
The Patriots have consistently gotten favorable officiating throughout their entire run, so the missed pass int on the Panthers (which would have been an iffy call anyway) is probably not something they have a right to complain about.
There is just something about the Patriots that makes me not respect what they have done, since they tend to have done it often with some very loose interpretations of the rules assisting them every step of the way.
