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.

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.
