A fan or neither team just a football fan. The game was tainted for me by the calls. It's too big a game to make calls that should be no calls. Why has the officiating been so poor this year?? Is it because of instant replay? Or is does it show the need for full time officials that can continually upgrade their performance just like the player do? I don't really know the answer and yes the refs are human but still this game lost interest for me due to the poor calls. The TD replay was a close call and I'd have to say the guys on the field had the best view but after the other calls then I lose respect for what they called. For me I didn't even watch the 4th quarter because the game had been highjacked by bad untimely calls. Too Bad because these two teams looked to be pretty evenly matched and this could have been a really good game.
