afosomf Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Bill Vinovich named referee for Sunday's game...Known for throwing least amount of flags in NFL, Pats OL will not get called once for holding and Browner will be mugging the Wr's all game.

Jetsfan80 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 As long as he avoids throwing yellow on the Ravens too I fail to see how this will only favor the Pats. Baltimore under Harbaugh doesn't exactly lack toughness or the desire to bend the rules a little in favor of physical play, even if the Ray Lewis era is over. Regardless, less flags is better for the NFL, especially in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then "TAMMY" will start crying like she/he always does and then you'll see that critical call that sways the game toward the Pats. Man, how U wish Suggs "Lights him UP" from the blind side! I think Pats will try and establish the running and screen game to keep Brady off his back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Pats will try and establish the running and screen game to keep Brady off his back It will be very difficult to touch Brady, when his OL will be allowed to hold all game. The way you beat Brady is pressure up middle. With this ref in place, I just do not see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Pats will try and establish the running and screen game to keep Brady off his back Allowing the Ravens to play tight on the receivers will very much work in their favor. The tougher defense usually benefits most when the refs let'em play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ah, another thread where Jets fans are crying and whinning about officials. Some things never change. I agree with you in this case. This thread is stupid. The better team will win this weekend, period. Complaining about the refs BEFORE THE GAME HAS EVEN BEGUN is lower than bush league stuff.

Jetsfan80 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 good teams usually get the calls - sorry but that's the facts of life. I remember a story about a mediocre baseball player (not sure who) from the 50's getting what he felt was a bad strike 3 call during a game. He turns to the ump and says "That wouldn't have been a strike on Ted Williams." Umpire responds. "You're right. Williams would have blasted that one over the right field wall." The great players and teams make their own luck. Perhaps they get more calls on reputation. But for the most part they earned that reputation. Only way to combat it is by outplaying the opposition rather than whining about the officials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet9 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I hate the Pats but actually like Brady, he's a phenomenal player. But, he does cry every time he gets knocked on his ass. Every time. And actually, I think throwing your hands in the air looking for a call, like every WR does nowadays, should be 15 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
