They are sooner or later going to have to accept that the cost of professional officials, that are accountable, is going to have to be paid if they want to avoid fans turning off. Aside from the bad calls, there were 2 instances of questionable behaviour from officials (Cards and Vikings games). The NFL isn't just looking bad domestically, there's a lot of chatter over here about how the outcome yesterday undermines the international series.
The NFL wants paying fans. Take the damned results out of the hands of officials.

It's league wide sadly. I have always been against getting rid of the refs but lately I'm having second thoughts. First they need these guys at full time employees becuase they aren't.
I say give each team 5 challenges for penalties a game, something of that nature.
