I've been down on these hypocrisy of a league for the past 3 years.  This year, however, has taken the cake.  The play is bad, antics on the field boarders stupidity and the penalties have made the game unwatchable.  This league has the most rules, officials, bad officials, bad calls, bull shyt reviews etc.  I watched the second half of tonight's game and the calls against the pats were absurd,  And I had Broncos in a 2 team teaser with steelers.  If I did not have action going I would not watch this SHYT.  Wish the NHL and mlb was year round.

its become a complete joke ...
this game shouldve finished 21-17 ...
the offensive pass interference on gronk is where the game took a turn ... he gets that first down and game is over but that isnt an entertaining enough ...

im not fully sold on games being fixed but i am certain refs are told to make the games more interesting ... that flag being thrown put the pats in a tough spot ... after that was the phantom flag on chung for defensive hold like come on are you serious ... dude slipped man ... i didnt get this game but it was just way too obvious ... when people say why would the refs ruin their integrity ... what integrity ? these refs cant even decide whats a catch and what isnt ... ive watched NFL my entire time and so often you can see it developing ... and its more often on prime time games too ...

just become a joke as a sport

Good points.Basically what I was thinking. Like I said, i'm not a big fan of NE, and didn't have a lot riding on it-just aggravates me how these refs like to determine the outcome of a game ;-)

I knew this game would end as it did... I was doing research all day on it lmao.. Public was hammering the F*ck out of patriots all day, I was monitoring percentages throughout the day and it kept rising for pats. I wanted pats but knew this would happen, I hopped on denver and just waited for the win lmao.

Did you also have a bottle of lotion and box of tissues on hand, as Dr. John did?

Poor officiating, no question.

Vegas fix because there was too much public money on New England, not a chance. 

New England was up by 14 points in terrible weather conditions.  Denver could have turned the ball over in their red zone and made matters worse.  The refs can't undo that.  Even when it went to overtime, there was opportunity for NE to cover with a field goal. 

The refs did a terrible job, but there wasn't a grand conspiracy to ensure all the public money didn't get paid out.

Totally agree here. But the officiating in college and pros has been terrible all year.

There are so many unpredictable events in football that can change the outcome - the refs are one of them along with turnovers, valid penalties, miracle plays, etc.

I honestly think that successful gamblers have some prescient psychic ability that is lacking in the majority.

With Manning out,Pats undefeated,prime-time game,and all the money on Pats,and the spread is only 3.Its got what we used to call in the old days"Sucker Bet"written all over it.Back in the day,before there was a Sunday Night Football Game, this is how a lot of MNF games went,because it was your last chance to get your money back for the week..And before the internet and on-line sportsbooks came out,who were you gonna vent or complain to?your bookie,good luck with that conversation,he would tell you he needed the Pats also,and that he took a beating on that bad call to,just so you thought you weren't getting screwed.

CMON guys im going to give you some advice. WE NEVER ARE UNDERDOGS AT HOME! You saw what happened to the Pack when they came to Mile High: Aaron Rodgers < 70 yards  passing. So your going to  take a banged up brady bunch team on the road against The BEST GD DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE! lol and to top it of give up points to Mile High.Im sorry for those of you who took that approach. Today is a new day take Green Bay (NCAA BB)

Just atrocious calls and Goodell got his way.  An undefeated Patriots was not on his wish list.

The Steelers game was horrible also.   

We will hear more about the refereeing this weekend.  Piss poor ....add these games to games to the list of NFL game outcomes decided by refereeing not football.

We need a movie about NFL ref conspiracy right after the Concussion movie.

You will be in the same boat very soon.  Your teams and games will be impacted.

your 100 percent right I had nothing on this game 0 so  I could care less who win's but i'm 100 percent right 1 thing if the zebras want your team to win guess what your team is winning. so many bad call's on NE it's unreal everybody on NE was injured and still Denver need's the help on the Zebras . did anybody see the last TD by denver wow just wow hand's to the face by Denver's linemans that was not called my god how did the zebras miss that call . I seen that hand's to the face right away go back and see how bad that hand's to the face was unreal it's sad that game's have to end the way they do . do I believe in fix game's no but like I said if the Zebras want your team to lose your team is losing
