you cannot respect what they have done this year when they have been convicted of seriously breaking NFL Rules, the pats organization is guilty of this during a season like this is a major question
Its easy to understand the NFL is fixed mentality here. When your team can only muster 1 win in 16 tries the fans tend to spiral into some fantasy world unable to grasp the fact that management can be that bad. Poor coaching along with bad personel decisions fall directly on the shoulders of the owner not the NFL. In fact the NFL has done all it can to assure a league of parity but one can't expect them to actually manage each team seperately.
Just to be perfectly clearly, stealing other team's signals is not illegal. I'd bet every team in the league tries to do it. Hell, it happens in baseball every time there's a runner on 2nd base.But I'm 100% sure the patriots broke the league rules this year, in a big way, as in spying on other teams and trying to steal their signals....
i agree with u 100% i just post something about that game before i saw ur postBaltimore game was certainly fixed.
Anyone who argues against that DOESN'T HAVE MY RESPECT.

It's not even illegal to use a video camera to steal the other team's signals.
It's illegal to do it from the sidelines. THAT'S what the Patriots did wrong.
There is a posiblity that the Ravens game was fixed i think that the Ravens won that Gaffney didnt make that catch in the Endzone he was bobbling it the whole way out

Go look at the Replay he is bobbling the ball and the reason they called a timeout is because they thought that they couldnt stop him on the sneakThats just a rediculous theory. If it was fixed then you'd have to assume the Ravens were in on it. Why would they call a time out when they could have stopped the pats and gotten the ball back? Then the Gaffney catch would never have occured. Are you going to blame the time out on a league fix too?
Everything that led up to that catch was correctly called as was the call on the catch as a completion and TD.
Replay confirmed it
The ravens did call time out just before the snap
Stephen Neil did jump the snap on the false start penality
Watson was held way beyond the 5 yrds of contact allowed
Gaffney did have control ot the ball
The Ravens defense showed no emotional control by throwing the flag into the stands
All one needed was decent eye sight and the replays to see this.
The ravens played a hell of a game for 50 minutes but the problem is the game is 60 minutes long.

I dont believe that the NFL is fixed...Are the refs favoring the Tom Brady and the Patriots...YES...You are calling some Dolphin fans on this board one sided...But all of your post talk up the Patriots and give them way too much credit and i have not seen one post by you that hasnt been a "hommer" type comment...Yes they are a good team...But every single call they needed to go their way this year has...The NFL even appologized after the Raven's game...When Ray Lewis had Faulk or Maroney stopped in the backfield on fourth down...Rex Ryan called a time out from the sidelines which cannont happen under NFL rules...Only the head coach can call a time out from the side lines...The NFL did appologize...And it is an honest mistake by the ref and im sure it has happened numberous times and gone unnoticed, anyways it is almost impossible to determine exactly who is calling a time out and i cant point to conspiracy...As a Patriots fan you should admit your team did luck out on that call...And many others throughout the year...Maybe its conspiracy maybe its destiney either way you have to admit calls have consistanly gone your way throughout the entire season...
What did i say in the post you quoted that was homer? It was all fact every bit of it. Funny thing is i watch games and see non calls on both sides of the ball but not just in pats games. People have said that Vrabel got away with a leg whip today which I didn't actually see. Is there any way in your mind that it was just perhaps a blown call by the officals? I know I did see one blown call by the officials..it was an incomplete pass to Chambers in the back of the EZ. The replay clearly showed chambers stepped out of the back of the EZ with one foot then went up for the ball but couldn't hold on. Now last time i checked it was a penality if a player steps out of the field of play and is then the first player to touch the ball. Did you see any penality call on that play becauase I sure didn't? Perhaps the game was fixed for the chargers then?.... The fact of the matter is calls get missed during darn near every game but it seems like here most fins fans think its fixed to favor the Pats. I just didn't see any fix in the ravens game as was stated in this thread.
