Pats in '11, '12, '13 not winning it all because Gronk was hurt
'11 he played in the SB but was clearly a decoy
Blown calls, that phantom Asante Samuel PI @ Denver leading to the Broncos getting a cheap TD before half cost NE. They win that then you really think they're losing to Pitt or Sea the next 2 games?
'07 Eli should've been ruled down on the Tyree pass
'08 Brady torn ACL 5 minutes into the season
That's all I got, memory a little foggy tonight since it is late

You could potentially change a ton of history based on injury. Gets a little too hypothetical.
In the NBA, where the margin between stars and average players is massive or key starters and backups, there is a big injury almost every year that shifts balance of power.
Football being 1 of the healthiest teams in the NFL for the year is almost a prerequisite to playing deep into Jan, especially if you don't have an elite QB.

The greatest team denied due to a bad (non call) has to be the 90 Italia world cup team! They did not give up a goal the entire tournament until the non-call (over 500 minutes of clean sheets!) and they had the leading goal scorer to boot!! A bad move by Zenga coming of his line to allow a modest header from Caniggia in. Game went to shootouts and Goycochea was a beast in goal, stopping penalties. The goal would not stand today as you can see Caniggia pushing off Zenga.
Italy up 1-0 illegal goal scored. Greatness denied!! Could have gone entire tourney without conceding a goal! They were that good!

Italy got screwed by a cheating referee in 2002, it was a knockout game but not the finals. The ref called a flop on Francesco Totti resulting in a red card when he was mauled in the penalty box He couldn't possibly NOT go down on that tackle
Arguably the biggest scandal in FIFA history, certainly the worst call in 2002. How could somebody not break that smug ref's face right then and there, amazing restraint when you know he's cheating
