Plain and simple we had the ball twice with a little over 2 min left in the game and we did nothing with it. We should have run the ball on the 2nd down before we punted vs. throwing it. We also should have ran the clock down and taken the -5 yrd on the punt. We could have also not thrown the guy out of bounds on the Pats last drive. WE had a lot of mistakes in the game that hurt us. Yes the refs didn't help but we also didn't help ourselves with this game.

I agree 100%. There is no question we screwed around and lost the game. However, we shouldn't even be having this conversation regarding blatently bad calls by the officials. Yes, there are bad calls in every game. But one of those bad calls was reviewed (the false start) and they still got it wrong. One resulted in a play that should never have been run (the timeout that resulted in an int). One resulted in a game winning touchdown pass with 5 seconds left on the clock (the chokehold there offensive lineman had on our defender). If we got our ass kicked by the Patriots, I'm good. The Patriots are good. No doubt about it. No shame in losing to them, especially with 5 seconds left. But when we get our asses kicked by the patriots AND the officials, I have a problem with that.

I'm ok with our loss. It's not eating at me like it sounds. I just want something constructive to come out of this BS officiating this past weekend.

That's all I'm gonna say about it.

If it wasn't a timeout then it should've been a damn penalty. I would rather them give us the timeout but a five yard penalty is better than a turnover. The way the game was called reminded me of every game that was called on us the year after Katrina. If one of the phantom calls went away then we would be unbeaten.
