Did the referees help the Pats win or what last night? LOL. They are hell bent on a Pats/Colts AFC title game

who knows, but it was a lopsided calling

Before last nights game, the Ravens were among the most penalized teams thus far this season, so the penalties were expected. However, how is it the refs fault that Ed Reed fumbled the interception, or that Boller threw an interception when a few runs and a FG would have won the game. Is it the refs fault that TO was called after Brady got stuffed? The only legit gripe that the Ravens have in my opinion is the TD pass at the end. He didn't seem to have control. However, with the two penalties by Scott on that play, without the TD, the ball would have been on the 2 yard line and the Pats would have most likely scored anyway.

Your an idiot. The Patriots have already made the playoffs, so I don't see how you can say that the refs need to help them go against the Colts. And by the way... the NFL doesn't like the Patriots. If you paid attention to the beginning of that game the Patriots had some very iffy penalties go against them. Thing is though the Ravens DID commit penalties... they made bonehead mistakes on the last drive. Like them stopping from pressuring Brady which had been working for them all game because they got nervous and realized that "Oh crap... we could win this." And started playing guys deep and only kept three guys on the line. And then they got nervous and started making stupid interference calls or the coaches calling timeout on 4 and 1. It's what I would like to call a lack of discipline... the only thing the Ravens are better then the Patriots is running their mouthes... t hat's because they are UNDISCIPLINED. Even the freaken coach who likes blowing kisses at Rodney Harrison... haha, I mean give me a freaken break.

The refs overlooked plenty of defensive holding on Patriots receivers. After the game, Patriot hater Steve Young acknoweldged it and felt it was deserved for what they did 10 years ago or something to that effect. The Ravens called the timeout that gave the Patriots a second chance. The Ravens let Brady run 12 yard on 4th down to keep the drive going. It was a Raven who picked up the penalty flag and threw it into the stands. It was a Raven who then jawed with the ref and got 30 yards tacked onto the final kickoff. Maybe Boller would have thrown the Hail Mary into the end zone if it weren't for those stupid penalties at the end. Professionals don't act that way.

NO, but Brian Bellick did though by calling a timeout.
Thank you to the refs, Coach Bellick the Ravens Defense and the fans in Baltimore for getting the Patriots to 12-0 and #1 in the NFL.
Humble Pie is Good, Blueberry Pie is Bad, Go Pats, Boo Ravens.

Look I am sure the NFL looked into it!! If there was any their were any calls that were legit, the NFL would apologize to the Ravens. Much like the NFL apologized to Randy Moss after the colts game for a bogus call made by the Refs.
The Problem is that they wanted special treatment. They didn't want the Refs to give them bad sportsmanship calls. They felt in a game of that magnitude you don't make those kind of calls. Wow, when I checked the rules out it says it's 15 yards penalty for bad sportmanship calls. It didn't make any exception for the kind of games.
As far as "being talked down to by a ref.. The ignorant player was called a boy by a ref, now get this the player told the ref You have never played football before!!! Well first off there has to be more to it then that because lets face it. Your not going to make that statement to a ref unless was something said before. The ignorant player didn't know that yes that REF had played football. The ref didn't call him boy before it just after it. That might have been his was of letting the football player know that he was the one in charge not the football player!!!

what's new? isn't that every game? i like how they say tom brady is such a "gifted" QB and how he might be the best ever. look at his history. his whole career is based on a bad call. nfl just needs a poster boy that will draw female attendance. of course they're gonna help them win. when pates got caught cheating, what was the result. a fine?!?! take way a few draft picks?!?! big friggin deal. does that affect this season any? uh, no. and then in that game rodney harrison has the audacity to taunt bill belichek? dude, you just got suspended for hgh, how are you any good? for all we know you're still roided up. pats are the barry bonds of football. asterisks all around.

No clue. Brady complained the referees were helping the Ravens and the Ravens complained it was the opposite. In the end, I think the Ravens screwed themselves more than the referees did.

I don't believe they did, there were bad calls, and good calls, on both sides. What did the Ravens in, were their multitude of penalties, including the hissy fit meltdown, by Bart Scott, costing his team 30 yards....

There's a reason the Ravens have won only 4 games, and it's not the refs.
