One of the most annoying, yet frighteningly accurate, complaints from every NFL fan is the consistent poor officiating during NFL games. While some have more arguments to make than others, far too many teams have been on the receiving end of unfair penalties or non-calls in recent years, despite Commissioner Roger Goodell exclaiming that officiating has never been better.
It has been on full display again this season, and the Patriots have had a handful of games that were questionably called. They certainly don't help themselves when they make unacceptable mistakes, but flag-happy referees make that even more of an issue.
