What we really really need is for the refs to bring their friggin glasses to the game. Oh, and if it's not too much trouble - try putting them on! What gets me is there are 3 or 4 on the field; I don't know how many in the booth and they still get it wrong. Shouldn't somebody somewhere have questioned it? It seems to me that the people in the booth should be able to over ride the decision on the field whenever its friggin obvious. What good does it do us now? I'm just glad that we won and that decision didn't interfere with the win. **!!!**??!!

BS is BS no matter how much shine you put on it & how much you apologize.

"My bad" does not work!!

The mere presence of replay at least curtails possible corruption of refs...

Which has been a problem in all of professional sports...

But the length of replay is not necessary if you got a guy in the hat watching the game during play who can push the WTF button during the game...

Older refs with good experience and poor treads on their Nikes would be ideal for this...

Not only was that BS, then Meachem gets tackled way out of bounds and we get no call. I lost it after that.

Yes, that was strange. After the Harper hit you felt like they owed us one and if ever there was an opportunity to even things up, that was it.

I can't remember what happened later, but I do remember saying, "Well, that evens things up a little."

Yeah, I was teetering after the Harper call but went full on sideways when Meach didn't get the call - and from the looks of it (I just watched the game again last night) Payton completely fell off the wagon about then too.
