I've seen entirely too many games decided by bad officiating that it's no longer acceptable in my book.
2003 AFC Championship game - officiating was so bad that the NFL had to mandate to the officials to call/enforce a rule that had been on the books for over 30 yrs at that point...
Falcons/Patriots SB - that entire second half was literally flags all day against the Falcons...many of which seems suspect....given that NE was doing the same things
Saints/Rams NFC title game - I don't think this needs an explanation
Practically every big game this season right off top... and as a Colts fan, I was annoyed but okay with the first penalty call at the end of the Browns game. It was ticky tack, and Cooper did push off, but Baker did grab him. I would have honestly liked to have seen if the Browns technically had possession at the time the flag was thrown however. The 2nd one? That ball was not catchable AT ALL. It was still 14-15 ft in the air when it went out the back of the end zone....and that was the lowest point of the throw.
Sick to death of TERRIBLE officials.... and for point of reference, look up Angel Hernandez.... dude has been worse than ANY official in any sport and somehow not only hasn't been fired but is still employed despite hundreds of videos showing his incompetence..
