    Wow. The Patriots are on their way to their third consecutive Super Bowl, 5th in the last 8 years, 9th in the last 18th seasons. One might think that it is certainly Alabama'esque…….Roll Chowder anyone?

    I still can't get over the absolute brutality of the roughing the passer call on Brady. If you are even a bit queasy, don't click on the link. Don't let your kids see it. The Chiefs should be banned from the league for that call alone. {/sarcasm}

    I think it was an issue with Fox. I have Direct Tv and it went out for too.
    Me too. Don't know if it was FOX or DirecTV, but this is not the first time this has happened. ST stated ESPN went out - the game wasn't on ESPN.

    Glad to see the Rams beat the Saints, but that was a bad non call for pass interference at the end of the 4th.
    Two badly missed pass interference non-calls on the RAMS. The first should have been called on that pass to Ginn, Jr. Even Ray Charles could have seen that one. And the one late in the game Little Stevie Wonder could have seen it.
    Am really beginning to think these refs should be fired.

    Yep... it was on Fox sports.

    And the refs are catching hell today about the missed pass interference call. They are even talking something about Godell getting involved. The reffing has really gotten bad this year. And it seems the home team gets all the breaks while the visitors get all the flags. That and the enormous amount of time the game is focused on the refs and not the game being played. It is getting ridiculous. Especially the time it takes to get a review done. I was thinking last night how it was nice to be deciding a call sitting in a nice cozy NYC studio while the players are all standing around in 5 degree weather.

    Those non-calls didn't help either home team yesterday.

    One might think football is coming around to baseball. Teams scout out who the home plate ump will be on any given game and adjust their strike zone accordingly. This year I have noticed when reading the betting line on games, it now includes who is the referee how many flags thrown and what is his most popular call etc.....I often wondered why in college games, especially bowl games, the announcers would mention where the official came from. I wonder if each different conference has their own peculiarities when it comes to calls and non calls. Anyway, one thing is for sure, the refs blew that one and NO couldn't over come it.

    Yea, that was BS, but then again the Chiefs last TD was on a blatant pick, and Belichick slammed it on the ground when the official ignored him then he picked it up and tossed it. Funny as hell.
