For players, it's an automatic ejection. All Bills fans bitterly remember Steve Tasker getting ejected from his last game as a pro for accidentally bumping a ref. I'm not aware of any suspension ever occuring due to something like this, though.'stratocatter said:
Moreover, hearing Patriots fans complain about calls that didn't go their way is kind of like hearing Notre Dame fans complain about getting into a lower-tier bowl game.

The Patriots lost because Baltimore executed better when the game was on the line. The Ravens Dee finally sent pressure forcing Gronk to stay back and made Brady dink and dunk or just pain ol' misfire. The Pats dee, on the other hand, decided to play possum instead of stopping Flacco and co. from rippping them to shreds. No excuses, David, the Pats lost because they were the lesser team yesterday.
i agree?
The question asked of me was not who was the better team. The question asked was what what were the issues that were plaguing the Patriots. The defense had been playing better the first few weeks, but there were several calls that could very easily have been non-calls that extended drives. And there were plenty of aggressive plays that were non calls. This was true for both teams, so whicever side lost had ample cause to say the refs blew the game.Even impartial observers could only wonder what was going on. Receivers were getting mauled and no flags were thrown. Receivers were barely touched and it was called pass intereference, defensive holding, or illegal contact. Blitzers were getting hogtied and tackled, yet there were no holding calls.So yes, the officials were a big cause for the Pats defense looking very suspect last night.Offensively, NE scored 30 points. It's not like they were shut down by the Ravens.BS!!!'David Yudkin said:
