Not specific to the Patriots, the rules concerning the offense and when/where/how a defense can tackle the quarterback have become unfair. It rewards bad line play and quarterbacks that stand like a statue in the pocket.
Football is becoming unrecognizable to me.

It also rewards the statue QB's, being mobile gets you less calls, being young gets you less calls cause they think the younger guys can 'take the hits" or haven't earned the calls.
