The Officiating

While I know officiating goes both ways, I feel that we have gotten absolutely flaked out of a playoff berth this year. There are three officiating mishaps that stick out in my mind this season, that changed our outcome drastically.

  1. The missed false start against the Chargers that gave them a free touchdown.
  2. The terrible pass interference call against the Saints that gave them a free touchdown.
  3. The fumble blown dead that the Browns ran back against the Ravens, which stripped them of a touchdown.

I understand this is horrible analysis and I should focus on the team instead of the officials but it’s hard to not leave my two cents in this post. It’s foolish of me to focus on these things, but like I said earlier, I am bitter from this season.
