Don't you HATE when refs help decide a game?

    Did anyone see the end of the Steelers/Falcons game? With 8 seconds to go, the Steelers down the ball to kick a GW field goal. The refs call a false start penalty and by rule run 10 seconds off the clock which sends it in to OT. That's like calling PI on a hail mary! Us LSU fans know all to well about refs deciding a game, I just wish something could be done to prevent that.

    granted, but you can't tell me that doesn't happen 95% of the time on a downing the ball play and it's a no call. My point is that refs SUCK, that's all.

    No kidding. If the ref saw the guy move and ignored it, wouldn't that be more of a factor in determining the outcome?

    So who won the game?

    Isn't it the duty of refs to help decide a game?
