the truly putrid officiating

Well it is chicago.

Somewhere in Chicago, there's a mob boss looking like Tony Soprano pissed off because the boys won despite the officials trying to fix the game. I'm convinced of it and the NFL should investigate.

Those guys in stripes should have had ski masks on- because they certainly TRIED to rob us!

Embarrassingly incompetant or blatently crooked, the officials sure did look bad on a big stage. Interesting to see if the NFL issues its usual 'they did nothing wrong' CYA statements.

This refereeing crew has certainly moved up to #1 on my 'blundering officials' list. Cross fingers that they do not officiate for the Cowboys again this year.

Last night the fix was clearly in, the Cowboys just beat it.
Sometimes that's just what you have to do in order to succeed.
Ever since the refs took the SuperBowl away from the Cowboys and gave it to the Colts, I have changed my opinion of how the refs influence the game and how often it appears to me to be intentional, regardless of which teams are playing. It's pretty difficult to beat the refs but last night's game shows it can be done.

JMO.

Wasnt the Colts vs. Cowboys superbowl officiating call a mistake though? This was very deliberate

I've got another one, after Anthony Henry scored the TD on his second interception, he was well in the end zone and was holding the ball up and one of their guys ran up and knocked it out of his hands anyway.

Why isn't that a taunting call? I'm sure if Henry had retaliated by pointing, they would have called it taunting.
