The NE game was the only time I've seen Brady's team get bogus game deciding penalties late to extend drives.
Manning's final drive in the opener...how many flags on that one?
Their stat line read like a 9-7 team...but got every conceivable break. They had the worst ranked QB in the NFL..
Then you had Brady totally ignore a wide open Gronk on the 2 pointer for OT. He had been his go to guy the entire 2nd half. NE kicker missed his first extra point in like 2 years...
Then you had the SB where the officials killed the Panthers first drive with a bogus incomplete call.

And Von got his Strip Sack TD the very next play and they were up 7 and never looked back.
Well I said about 5 or so games that were weird and you listed some. You're right in that they were a 9-7 team that year with a killer defense and a terrible QB. They should have made the playoffs as a WC team rather than Division Champion. Who knows how it would have turned out?...
Unfortunately, WE ALL KNOW!
