It wasn't just that no call at the end. In fact that was the least blatant of all the bad calls. There were several horrible calls. This is the only time I have ever seen the refs totally change the outcome of the game.

Unfortunately, I think refs have something against teams who refuse to win the right way or play smart. Think about the fact that we kept giving NE the ball back those last two minutes. We were asking for Brady to be bailed out. Sad to say but you have to beat the refs to win and that is by avoiding giving the ball back to the other team with enough time. Refs are notorious for working their magic in the closing seconds.
