NFL fans have been complaining about all the absurd penalties that have been called in the first two weeks of the season and it seems like Tom Brady is fed up by them as well.
In the second quarter of tonight’s Titans-Jags, Titans linebacker Kamalei Correa was flagged for a questionable roughing the passer penalty.
On cue another ridiculous roughing the passer call that even former ref in booth agrees is incorrect. #Denver7 pic.twitter.com/YJ4QaQrupa

Fans were irate with the call.

Now we're calling roughing the passer penalties when hitting Garnder Minshew .3 seconds after throwing the ball and keeping your hands up in the air….cool…
cool…cool…cool #NFL

I hope Minshew is able to recover from this roughing the passer! Suspend Kamalei Correa NOW! pic.twitter.com/UHoHq3WQXi

Tom Brady also chimed in and said he couldn’t watch the game because of all the “ridiculous” penalties being called.
Too many penalties. Just let us play!!!! #TENvsJAC

I’m turning off this game I can’t watch these ridiculous penalties anymore #TENvsJAC

Patriots haters, of course, found Brady’s tweet ironic considering he’s benefitted from questionable roughing the passer penalties in the past.

Let’s also remember that refs have been looking out for Brady this season too.
Raekwon McMillan told me when he hit Brady on Sunday – a perfectly legit hit – the referee told him "Stay off Tom." NFL still protecting those QBs amid several early season injuries to marquee ones
