This is like cubist, non-Euclidean, non-Newtonian football.
Football as imagined by HP Lovecraft or Thomas Pynchon. _________________

Okay, I was pissed for 24 hours. Now the Pats aren't even the team to be most screwed over by the refs this weekend.
I live in Iowa, where people are 40% Packers fans, 30% Bears fans, 20% Vikings fans, and 10% other. My Facebook feed is exploding with people complaining.

Where were all these people when the Pats got screwed over last night? |

Two of the most controversial endings in recent memory. I'm honestly a lil bit sick to my stomach and I hate the Packers.
Anyway, when Bledsoe ran in the 2 point conversion against the Bills was my favorite Patriots moment as a child. That and the 96 Superbowl were my earliest football memories. Still remember that Terry Glenn bomb.
Golden Tate is a super villain. _________________

Nah. The Packers were more obviously screwed by one acutely bad call, but the Pats were screwed all game long. |

So you're glad to be a fan of the one team that was screwed worse this weekend? |

At least the Patriots had plenty of opportunities to win in spite of the referees. That wasn't the case for Green Bay, they were stone cold robbed of a win 100% on the officiating. However many degrees of being "screwed worse" that is, its definitely more gut-wrenching. _________________

As a direct result of the refs. What I'm saying is, yes the Pats had around a dozen bogus calls/no-calls go against them, but the offense still could have gotten one more first down, the defense still could have stopped Captain Checkdown in the final two minutes. The Packers couldn't do anything when the refs f*cked them. The game was over. I think thats harder to take. _________________

Hard to do that when the opposing tackles are allowed to hold every play. |
