But I mention a billboard and get several.
Look harder :thumbup:

Its relative in terms of qb hits taken in relation to RTP calls received. Yes he is 21st in the league, yet a rookie QB 23rd in the league received 5 more RTP calls playing essentially the same schedule therefore the same defenses outside the two games vs each other and the two at large games. That right there shows he doesn't get preferential treatment. Or the other example Oakland was 29th in the league in QB hits received yet drew 4 more RTP pentalties.

Okay, well there's plenty more, including ones breaking down your offense.

2) Tom Brady's "NASCAR" offense might be too much for the Ravens to stop, particularly after last weeks long hard game for the Ravens defense.
3) Joe Flacco likes to go long and always throws down the right side. (This seems to be be the brilliant insight of the week for some reason.)
4) Patriots defense has been better since McCourty moved to safety.
5) Tom Brady's balls are dry and need constant moistening by local media members.
I may have made one of these up.
The fans up here are excited about the game. They would like to see Brady really cement his legacy as one of the greatest ever by getting another Super Bowl. In general, there is a decent amount of respect for the Ravens. Most people think the Patriots will win, but few think it will be as easy as last week's game.
Yeah, you did.
Number 1) - The Texans weren't scared. Just unprepared.

And since 2010 he is 29th (4th least) in the league in receiving Roughing the passer calls. He doesn't get them very often, period. Its not debatable.
That doesn't really argue that he doesn't "get the calls." He doesn't get hit much, it's true. When he does, what's the likelihood that hit is going to draw laundry? I don't know the answer, but after watching a ref wait until Brady started bitching to pull the flag out of his pocket, my perception is he gets favourable calls when he does get hit.
I've seen Roethlisberger and Flacco get mauled on the helmet without a flag being thrown, but what was *at most* a graze by one hand on Brady has drawn a flag at least once that I've seen (a Pats-Steelers game).
So, it may be that Brady doesn't get the "star treatment" like the NBA has, but it sure seems like it to this NFL fan...
