That was some game. Reminded me of a great prizefight with multiple knockdowns

Coddling of QBs? Refs are too protective? Geez, how about a 15-yard-penalty that wasn't called and ended up being the last play of the game?!? Cannot argue with the below picture. A 15-yarder... and not a "protect the QB" type of call. A call that should draw a flag for any player. No flag and Green Bay loses. The proper call is made and Green Bay has 1st-and-10 from their own 35-yard-line.
He also got blasted with "helmet-to-helmet" contact on the play before, when the Packers first down was called back for offensive holding, which put Green Bay in a 2nd-and-20 situation.

I thought the officiating in the NFL playoff games was poor all weekend. The refs missed Joe Flacco picking up a first down late against the Patriots, a blown call barely corrected by replay review, and I am convinced that the Ravens made their two point conversion attempt after their last touchdown.
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
One complaint I don't have about the Bengals game was the officiating. I thought they got the calls right and it was fair for both sides. That's about all you can ask of a crew.
