I haven't watched that game, yet, but I can't help but wonder if the Donkey's have swung something with the league office like they did in '97 and '98 to get the officials to turn a blind eye towards a majority of calls that should be going against them.
BTW Matt, did you notice that the Donkeys did not get scheduled to play one single team at their park in these first 6 games, that had made the post-season the year before, same as '97 and '98 ?? I can tell you why, it's because historically when the Donks have started 6-0, they've made it to the SB with one exception -- 2009. So there is hope that the tide can turn against them, just like it did in 2009 as they got road games in IND, NE, KC, and HOU.
It does seem like the deck is being stacked in their favor, thus far. Time will tell about that, of course, but at least we learned today that the Donks defense is not as good as KC's -- not by a longshot -- and Champ Bailey and Von Miller aren't going to bolster it all that much when they come back.
