I've seen it for years now and somehow it seems to play out more often than not. The NFL is always looking for a good story. But look for Bucs v. Pats in the SB. I said this a while back....so if the Pats get BS calls by refs in playoffs and look unstoppable, the NFL will be able to have Brady v. Belichick.

I mentioned this outcome in a few different threads.

Last season was about freeing TB from the shadow of Belichick and the Patriot way (even though most their titles were largely won by defense and special teams) and this season is about validating BB post TB.

What could be better than the story of a young, all-american yes-sir no-sir type QB with the media baselessly reporting that his boss wants to replace him with an alleged sex offender as his team is nose diving to 1-7 while he rides the pine (again), coming back off the bench mid game still injured since the team needs him desperately, and winning everything from then on to become the first 1-7 team to not only make the playoffs, but even finish with a winning record!

Apparently we now have direct contact to the league office with a new member, he can call em up, tell em to push this story, give Tua the Brady treatment (e.g. any contact = personal foul, grounding does not exist, and any long pass triggers automatic defensive pass interference). I'm kidding of course a little here, but the member has told us of these contacts so hey why not!

Then, with help we go on to play against Brady in the SB. Great game, comes down to the wire, 0:15 seconds left and down by 6 at the TB 20, Tua misses a 4th and 14 pass to Waddle, but the DE breathed on him, so he winces ala brady, gets the roughing call, next play hits Gesiki for the TD as time expires.

NFL ratings in Hawaii would be huge!

I can’t wait until Brady is done. Him being in every Super Bowl got old 10 years ago.

And the media and simpleton fans seem forever incapable of understanding the difference between "team" sport and "individual" sport.

Not only do they incorrectly credit individuals (such as Brady) with team accomplishments, they can't even apply their flawed logic consistently.

Best example is TB being constantly referred to as GOAT due to the amount of championship teams he's played on while Bill Russell usually takes back seat to numerous others in the GOAT discussion despite also having the same championship distinction as TB.

Most sports fans don't have a clue. The inability to recognize the distinction between team and individual sports is the most glaring example that proves this to be true.

FWIW, there is no such thing as GOAT in athletics. It's among the greatest myths ever told.

Not only is it subjective opinion, it's subjective opinion always omitting key pieces of info and proper context.
 
Since Brady left NE, I actually find myself rooting for him a little bit since he is now in a different division / conference. I guess my dislike was more NE / Belichick. Can we really be mad at Brady for getting all the favorable calls ? Not his fault for being so good for so long that the refs look the other way. I know is going to go over real well in here, but it's early so my senses have not kicked in yet. I'll take my whipping later.
 
Based on bogus calls or non-calls from the refs, I think the "L.A Yankees" I mean LA Rams will get more help from the referees to get to the Superbowl than Brady this year.

IMO, the "story behind the story" would be even bigger! I would love to see ex-Officials go public with proof that the League "suggested" that they favor certain teams in order to ensure the playoffs and Super Bowl would have the match-ups they want. Imagine the headlines if League Officials were found to be in collusion with members of the Gaming Industry.
 
So when Miami wins the SB (fanciful thought, I know), is that going to be a work as well? Or is the NFL only fixed when the Dolphins don't do well, and all above board when they're successful?
 
Against Jaxsonville in the 2018 AFC championship game NE wasn't called for any penalties until the 4th qtr. Jaxsonville dominated the game but the refs would have no part of a Jax vs. Phili SB. Turned out the 2018 NE team did not measure up in the SB and couldn't repeat as SB champs. I don't doubt that NE will be beneficiaries of a critical PI call in the 4th qtr against us.
