Here's why to care -- keep ignoring it when it's another team and it could happen to you.

Washington has been getting the sh-t end of the stick on calls ever since Snyder became the owner of the team. It was only this year that I noticed more calls going their way, which probably has something to do with Gibbs pestering the hell out of the NFL review board when they get them wrong.

As far as the Super Bowl goes, I did feel that the game seemed a little bit skewed towards the Steelers, but the only call the was completely wrong the call on Hasselbecks "low block". All the others can be argued either way. Pulling up all the "bad calls" from a thread on the Seattle board doesn't really hold any weight, since the views of the writer are obviously biased.

I just don't buy into the idea that Snyder has anything to do with how a game is called. So what your saying is that the REf's 1 either don't like Snyder (I don't realy see that) or 2 the NFL tells the REFs that they don't want Snyders team to when so call more penalties on the Skins (again that does not make alot of sense). As I've said before that players and coaches make mistakes and so do the REFs. Don't you think that those REFs were as nerves as the players and coaches being on the biggest stage in sports. Its going to happen.

well he was one of two owners to vote no on ref raises or something like that a couple years back

I think its closer to the NBA though, the winners get the benefit of the doubt, and the skins have been losers for a long time. It happened with the wizards last year too.

Exactly there are a ton of penalties in the NFL that could easily go one way or the other. There were plenty of iffy calls, but the only one that we know was 100% wrong is the low block on Hasselbeck. Everything else can be disputed. The holding call that brought the play back from the 1 could have been on another player, it wouldn't have been the first time a ref got a number wrong. Roethlisberger was in, D Jack pushed off, D Jack was out on their so called TD, and Randle El was way down. That list is ridiculous.
