    Officials only call 'em. Blame the players.

    The penalites ruined the flow of the game and some of the calls were weak so ya, this was a crappy job by the officials. The worst? Maybe...

    It's the NFL. Did anyone expect quality officiating? That hasn't been done in the NFL in almost 20 years.

    My fellow LSU graduate did a fine job as referee for Super Bowl XLIII.

    About the only call I had a problem with was the roughing the passer on Dansby, thought it was nit-picky. Other than that, replay seemed to back up everything they called.

    the refs did their jobs. it was the players that committed the penalties. i thought the officials did a fine job, which is rare in the NFL.

    I was shocked they let the Steelers kneel without at least taking a look at that Kurt Warner fumble. Seemed to me the ball was still in his hands as his arm was going forward. The ball shifted, but I think he still had full possession
