Falcons fans believe the refs are holding Tom Brady to a different standard than everyone else on the field.
On Sunday, the Falcons/Bucs game ended in controversy when Grady Jarrett was penalized for a bogus roughing the passer penalty on Tom Brady late in the game.

Referee Jerome Boger says he felt Jarrett unnecessarily threw Brady to the ground”
"The defender grabbed the quarterback … and unnecessarily [threw] him to the ground"

Falcons fans would later post a video that appeared to show Brady kicking Jarrett in a previous play and they wondered why Brady wasn’t penalized for the kick.
