I hope your right Dave I love the NFL and my Browns but the officiating as we well know is horrendous !!!

Yea it's probably an incompetence problem by the officials but it does make you wonder. I bet the NFL loves that a team from the second biggest market in the country is in the SB.

You know the NFL would love to see the Pats in the SB also. we will see how many calls go the Pats way.

A ref call determined the game. SOoo pathetic

Field was re-sodded on Wednesday; what could go wrong?

They ought to make any call, or non call, reviewable, and whistles on clear recovery turnovers should be disregarded.

Boy what a backfield UGA had with Chubb and Michel

On 3rd down a game changing play ...

Gronk looks like a new man in the playoffs.

Makes me nervous to think if the Browns are playing a team from a bigger market in the AFC Championship game, like the Jets for instance, how many calls would go against them?

what a game!

In that kind of match up, you have to make sure you beat the living schnikees out of them. If its not close they can't cheat.

Third down or not should have been a first down and the clock could have been run off. I had no horse in this race so I eally don't care, but watching a call cost a team the game is unacceptable.

This is the question I keep asking. Is it incompetence or corruption? These flagrant, easy to see, game/season changing calls and non-calls are so prevalent, happening so often, at such critical junctures, across such a wide spectrum, that it seems to defy the odds of mere incompetence. Over the years it seems to have become more targeted and more influential in the outcomes. We are seeing such an unprecedented number of occurrences with critical influence, they appear to be strategic. If it's not corruption, they're hiring functional morons. Bottom line, it's disgusting, whatever the reason.

Mahomes is wild high in the early going. Probably overly amped up.

Saints will receive an apology fax tonight ...

This is why you don’t pick against belichek in the playoffs

Teams should get review flags that can be thrown at anytime on any type of play call or no call.

Boy, the guy from Friends got old.

Is James White related to our Jamel White? He reminds me of him.

Annoying commercial time. Up yours, Iphone.

At least it’s better than tailgates.

That officiating crew should never work another NFL game again. They should all be fired.

Brady's only pass threats are RBs, Edelman, and Gronk. No deep threat. Gordon really screwed them over too.

He screwed himself over too. He could be in this game, one game away from a Superbowl.

Feel for the Saints. They got screwed by the zebras like the Browns do.

Glad I am not a Saints fan.

Is it a case of being bad at their job, or is it blatant bias? Sometimes I wonder.

I'll never root for a carpetbagging team, with a greedy owner, that screwed its fans over repeatedly.

I'm no Patriots fan, but it's tough to root for the Rams IMO

That's right where I'm at. What a total screw job.

I’m not rooting for either one, I could care less at this point.

I'll be rooting for the Pats hoping Tom & BB retires after.

I was wondering something.

The Partiots are good, don't get me wrong, but the regular season and the post season are different animals. First you have to get to the post season.

The AFC-E is weak, and has been for almost all of New England's reign. It's almost like they have 17 weeks to hone their game, because they pretty much were a shoe in to win the division every year. Good for 4-6 wins every year.

It's not like they encountered many times where they were in a fight for the division title in December.

Like I said, they ARE a good team, but would they be as apparently dominant if they were facing teams like Green Bay, New Orleans, Carolina 6 times a season?

I don't think this is about ratings or market size. I think it is more about proving the NFL right for allowing LA to get football again AND solidifying that base.

N.O. was the feel-good story a few years ago and now the NFL has deemed it to be LA.

What a shame the refs watching in NY can't review calls like this!!!!

Why cant they? change the procedures!

Terrible officiating.. How the hell did that ref miss that call.. HOW?

Recognizing that things on the field happen in a blink of an Eye, But to have it so there is no recourse for something like this freaks me out..

I can't imagine what I'd be like if it were the Browns that got robbed like that.
