Your post sums what seems to universal amongst the Brady cult...complete lack of objectivity. You simply ignore anything that doesn't support your worship...
The cool thing about Mahomes..is I dont have to rationalize his wins to anyone. He's never been on the winning side of something as skewd as that. That was a disgrace...and you should be embarrassed as a fan. If something like that happened tomorrow...and Mahomes won on some overt bullshit. I'd be pissed..I wouldn't be acting like it didnt happen.

There isn't really one major call of significance with Brady in New England at least that pundits harp on that was wrong. Tell me the play that was as egregious as that Sorenson play...nevermind what happened to the Saints. Even most people admit the Tuck Rule was a bad rule to try to fix a tough issue but correctly called given the rule at the time which was enforced against the Patriots that same year. The video of the Jags AFC championship game makes it obvious Jags did DPI. See above Youtube commentary on the refs! See the pundits sarcasm... If you here the live game commentary, the announcers said it was clear right away.
I explained why Jags got over 100 penalty yards. The vast majority came on 3 calls that most refs would call for any team/QB/receiver/tight end.
If they didn't, they may be out of a job for poor performance after a while.
As for the Chiefs under Reid and Mahomes.... As I've pointed it out before, lots of Niners fans feel they were shortchanged with the way that SB game was called/not called.
In another close playoff game, the Sorenson hit was egregious and given how close that game ended up being and that Mahomes wasn't even in the game at the end, a possible game changer. Not as bad as the horrific non call that went against the Saints but one of the worst non calls in recent playoff history since in all likelihood it wiped a TD off the books.
If we are being technical about consistently enforcing the rules, Tyreek Hill should have been called for taunting against Buffalo.
Patriots were just beneficiaries of drafting Brady and some good cap management and team building over the years. The rest is mostly just sour grapes.
The Patriots arguably lost Super Bowls and other playoff games to bad non calls/calls but the Patriots fans don't excessively whine about it. For example, see probably future HOFer Seymour held on critical play right before a miraculous play by Eli and the Giants.
