How can the NFL continue to make it so blatently obvious that the establishment is infatuated with the Colts? It seems to me that every BIG game they play in, 2005 AFC Championship against Pittburgh, last night against the Patriots, the officials do everything possible to give the Colts the game. About half of those 10 penalties last night were an absolutey horrible. You want to talk about a competetive advantage, the Patriots had to beat two teams last night. The Colts, and the Zebras.

You know, as much as I like the Colts and loathe the Pats, I agree with you.
In the third quarter, the announcers said that the Patriots had been penalized for 141 yards so far. That's a bit much if you ask me. I did see quite a few that were questionable.
When that happens it makes me wonder...look at all the corrupt officials in the NBA....could the NFL also have major issues with the boys in stripes as well?

It was an outrage, you can really see it using a DVR. You are absolutely right, they need to beat the crap out of their opponents to make sure they win. This has been going on for years with the pats, lats night was over the top. I understand the NFL is a business however, if they try to manipulate the games too much more people will take notice. Hopefully people would want too see a fair game rather than a game resulting in a loss of the team that got the really BAD calls.
On the second to last play of the game when Brady was taking a knee, see how Brady was yelling at them for the absolutely horrible officiating.
The Patriots overcame all of the game changing calls, made incorrectly by the officials to win the game. That shows not only talent, but the determination and composure during this complete disregard for officiating responsibilities, certainly with recommendations from their superiors.

I am begining to think the NFL is fixed for that very reason. I think New England was supposed to win but all the penalties kept the Colts in the game until the 4th quarter so that it would be a close game and get the ratings that the NFL and CBS was hoping for, it is November sweeps. Early all the calls were in favor of the Colts and late they were all in favor of the Pats. I hope they fix it so that the Ravens win tonight.LOL.

The Patriots won and you are still whining? come on dude, get a clue. One of the penalties you are complaining about identically got called against one of Randy Moss's defenders last week. Were you on here complaining that the other team shouldn't have gotten that penalty? NO, you weren't.
You are making a fool out of yourself. How about watching the films of old games between the Pats and Colts when Ty Law was all over our receivers and no calls? Even commentators still mention that today and it happened several years ago.

are you serious? I didn't see them when I was watching and I'm not a fan of either team. I will admit I was watching the Browns game most of the time, so I missed a alot of the game.
You don't think Billy Bellicheck the cheater probably didn't do something wrong, how is a fan of a bunch of cheaters going to have the nerve to call someone else a cheater and even whine when they won.

I agree. The Colts do have a suspicious amount of questionable calls in their favor

how many more games are the refs going to ignore the offensive holding by the patriots? my wife even noticed the grabs and rides to the ground that the pats offensive line were perpetrating -- she can't even tell me which position is wide receiver... but she knows grab a** when she sees it.
