Over the first eight games of the season, the Patriots have dealt with more than their fair share of questionable calls by NFL officials, as they have had the most flag-happy crews on hand for more than one of their games.
It has made life difficult in more ways than one, like stripping away an impressive touchdown by DeMario Douglas against the Saints, which hasn't helped their early struggles with avoidable penalties.
Fortunately, that shouldn't be a problem this week, at least on paper, as Brad Allen's crew is set to be the group on hand for the Patriots' matchup with the Falcons on Sunday.
