• 2nd and goal - receiver again completely uncovered, overthrown
• 3rd and goal - RB stopped for no gain
• 4th and goal - Field Goal missed, blatant and brutal roughing the kicker, not called

So... has the missed roughing call lost the team the game? Or was it the inability to catch or throw to a wide open receiver?

That's why you have a review panel as he suggested. One that can take in the whole flow of the game, and context of a called or uncalled penalty.

In the Pittsburgh game for example, the missed call was egregious BUT, Pitt rallied, then couldn't stop a second half rally. It would not be worthy of the worst sanctions, but certainly there should be sanctions that emphasize the impact of the call at the time, and on the end score.

Yesterday in the Chargers Steelers game there was such a blatant false start and it was on a Rivers td pass. How does a ref miss something that obvious? These bums need year around training. It has to improve. The zebras are determining the outcomes of games.

The calls and no calls against us, you just have to wonder. I mean that Texans game with the phantom PI against Norman and then the no call against Docston? How do you explain that? The flat out inconsistent nonsense. That literally cost us a win and another example of refs determining the outcome of a game.
