Oh man was that FG at the end close. I don't mind losing as much with a great game/finish like that. Refs had bad calls for both sides but I definitely felt like they were favoring the Ravens for most of the game. There were a lot of non calls for the Ravens in the 1st half. Towards the end there were some BS calls against the Ravens though. It's getting to the point where it's affecting the outcome of big games and potentially affecting the playoff/Super Bowl picture down the line.

I think the Patriots did pretty well on both sides of the ball last night. One thing I will say that went pretty unnoticed was that our offense took a big hit with Edelman injured for the second half. They weren't nearly as effective as they were in the first. He was having a really good game last night. Once we get Hernandez back, we should be a lot more explosive on offense.

Actually Patriots had 10 penalties for 83 yards while the Ravens had 14 penalties for 135 yards.

The big penalty should be heading Belichick's way this week for grabbing the official. No excuse for that.

Agreed about the Belichick penalty. Ravens should have had more penalties

Spoken like a true Patriot fan.

Either way it's not like the Patriots played poorly and have anything to worry about. We kicked azz and just came up a little bit short. Like the Giants proved last season, you only have to do good towards the end of the season to get to the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. Both of our teams should be much better by that time with Hernandez and Suggs playing again.
