    2 OF THE 3 patriot losses are to playoff afc teams(jets and broncos), correct. both losses were overtime games both losses were winnable games just they didn't- for denver- special teams caused the tie at the end of regulation (fumble and the td)- jets game the offense just was on neutral...

    the pats lost not because of the refs. sure some plays hurt- that holding call that negated a 53yd pass, gronks OPI call - where if you see it live, that picture above- while correct - doesn't show the Context- Gronk barely touched the guy- you see way worse pushoffs by all receivers in the...

    on that 2second "he was down" bit the ref ruled that he "gave himself"up" when he sat down, thus was inbounds before he rolled over backwards out of bounds(sort of like when a QB slides- the qb does not have to be touched and the play is dead). also... according to the rules a player...

    THE ONE thing they have riding for the liens etc is, you have to deposit -actual- money into an account. thus no loans etc - no money in account= no playing. and yes jerry jones and kraft are only 2 of the nfl owners involved, there are more but they were one of the first to invest.
