Ridiculous penalty

[vcip]

I did not see the Patsie/Giants game but a buddy told me to watch this
Brady threw a pick and during the return there was a flag thrown which looked like it was going to be (even Buck & Aikman) against the Pats for hit out of bounce which would have been a bit weak IMO
Turned out it was against the Giants for unnecessary roughness on Brady
If there was any remaining doubt whatsoever on how they treat this guy this removes it
Horrendous

Look at 1:03ish on

That one wasn't as big a turning point as the several calls that extended drives on 3rd and 4th down later in game.

The Patriots seem to get bailed out by refs a lot when they don't convert 3rd downs. These defensive holding and illegal contact flags are rarely called on the Patriots in similar situations.

This is ancient news! The continuous blatant fixed officiating the Cheats benefit from
game to game, year to year is beyond disgusting! Goes way back to the "tuck rule"
fiasco (2001) and has continued uninterrupted ever since.
