I hate the Cowboys, but as a fan of the NFL, the officiating has been horrific.

Agree, and if it was a team/player I liked, I'd probably be more upset,

. I'm beginning to think they somehow reinstated the Replacement Refs from a few seasons ago,

... maybe it's not that bad, but come on!. There were a few other calls where I kinda' went, "huh?".

Kudos to Mike McCarthy & his staff for the challenge if they did so in the knowledge that Bryant did not make a 'football move' after the catch, yada, yada, yada ... that's a pretty technical assessment to make in real time during the heat of battle. My guess is they just threw the flag out there & hoped for the best,

.

Couple good points I've heard since last week's fiasco and in this article are: 1) NFL refs are part-time, maybe they should consider full-time refs, 2) "All-Star" officiating crews for the post season aren't getting the job done., 3) the NFL rulebook is too voluminous for refs to properly officiate a game or for the players/coaches/fans to understand.

.

For being part time, they sure get paid full time $. Many of those refs are lawyers in their regular day jobs.

FWIW

Has it really been the refs, or is it the rules?
