Allen was horrid today make no mistake, but the 50/50 (or worse) calls seemingly ALL going the Pats way is typical.
- Obvious facemask on Allen, not called
- OPI on Gordon's long reception, not called.
- Bogus spots
- 3rd INT was touched by Zay Jones (in what would have been his best play of the game), who was OOB before NE defender picked it off. I believe Steratore confirmed as much
- Looked like a possible leverage call that went unflagged against NE at the end of the first half.
- The DPI flag against Gilmore that is simply just picked up, without explanation.
- When you're throwing the ball away, doesn't it have to get back to the LOS? Pretty sure that's the rule, if you're not Tom Brady
Bojorquez can Adios, and take Zay Jones with him.
The cheap shot on Allen was horrible - would have loved to have seen Brady take a hit like that.
Also, old habits die hard:
McDermott didn't like how long the Patriots' staffers were on the field
