2 or 3 times during each playoff year I see something that makes me think the whole thing is fixed. That overturned call was one of them.

I'm a Colts fan and thought this might be our "tuck rule" moment.It was pure BS.But, ultimately we didn't take full advantage of it.What I have noticed in these playoffs is referees and crews that I wouldn't necessarily rate in the top 5 or so getting these games.Why?

I hear you. My mother (bless her soul) used to piss off my father back in the late 50's by once in a while telling me, my brother, and sister that the NFL was fixed.

I am under the impression that she may have been somewhat right. At least it sometimes seems well "arranged".

And she knew Art Rooney.

The officiating in all of these games has been putrid. New England got ripped off on that interference call in the endzone, as an example.

This year, the officials in the playoffs are the absolute worst in my memory. It isn't just 2 or 3 calls. They've been blowing dozens of calls this year.

The first week, there was a long pass and run that got things going in the 2nd quater for Steelers, and a downfield blocker was so obviously holding, it should have been embarrassing for the refs to miss it.

During the Seahawks/Redskins game, when the Seahawks's quarterback ran in for the score that broke Washington's back, the offensive tackle on the right side was clearly holding. Both were no-calls by the refs.

There are many others, but I'm trying to remain calm, and to recite more of them would raise my BP again.

Grrrrrrrrr.

The NFL is one big casino, nothing more.
