I wasn't able to see the game, but the forums are buzzing with how bad the officiating was in that game, particularly from the Pats fans, as the Pats bore the brunt of the bad calls. It's not usually that bad. The latest I heard was that the head referee was a rookie, so the NFL didn't bother ensure their "A" ref team was covering the biggest regular season game of the year. But I assume incompetence rather than anything underhanded. The NFL does listen to teams' complaints and review questionable calls, so presumably the lousy refs will evetually get booted. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
