He told the group that the NFL does not want the Patriots to win again this season, basically it's ABP, anybody but Pats! The comisssioner wants a whole league of 8&8's........ wow, wouldn't that be great

That's funny, I've heard the same stuff. NFL doesn't want Pats to win again, they claim Pats are boring and have no superstars. They want parity so they dish out the toughest schedule in the history of NFL to slow us down. Just another obsticle to overcome. Pats feed on that chit.

That just might explain that bogus interference call at the end of the game that gave Pittsburg the opportunity to tie it up. That was basically a jump ball with the offensive player making as much contact as the defensive player.

of course it's speculation to this point BUT, espn reported in the pats-steelers post game column that rodney harrison is believed to have torn his acl and matt light appears to have a fracture of his ankle or an achilles injury. marquis hill is said to have left the locker room in crutches with his foot in a boot.........WOW talk about bad injuries.....think troy can play safety

I was thinking that also. Was a bad call for sure. Let them f$#@!^ play...It is Football.

No way it was the right call if the Pats defender wasn't mugging him he would have had the catch, Cmon for the first down.

vf- did we see the same play?

How about the bonehead lateral that Randel Ell tried to get to Hines Ward???
That wasn't too intelligent.

Totally agree there.

Don the 4th and 16 play would have drawn a flag in every game in the NFL the defender obstructed the receiver in a way he could not get the ball, I got the replay over and over no way was that not PI
