I'm just saying this isn't a balanced ledger. Letting us get away with a hold up 2 scores in the 4th against an overmatched opponent doesn't even the scales for that butt-****ing we took on Foxboro.

I'm not saying things are even Steven. I'm just saying that every fanbase tends to think they are being objective when it isn't always the case. I'm also not sure that all the breaks we got this season came at points that didn't matter. That's part of my overall point. I'm sure opposing fans could name a few important calls. We can be objective all we want, but many calls are subjective.
In all honesty it does take a lot to get me furious about those things. The hold in the Pit playoff game, the end of that Raiders Thursday night game, those are moments I remember. I guess because the NE game was early this season let's me let it go. If it was in the playoffs I'd feel worse.
Plus, honestly, if we end up with home field I will be GLAD we lost that game. Let us be the ones with chips on our shoulders. That point doesn't justify penalties, but it's part of the reason I wasn't furious.
