Conspiracy? No. Gross incompetence with a sprinkling of bias? Absolutely.

Gross incompetence by the highest rated officials at every position for the full season? And whose "bias"? Any proof whatsoever?

Other than the TD call, the rest were judgement calls that are left to interpretation of the individual official. Each one of the penalties were strict interpretations of the rules. But to suggest strict adherence to the rules as conspiracy, sorry "gross incompetence", smacks of very sour grapes.

I just googled for pics of the game and found this. As explained, the touchdown was made with him breaking the plane in the air. Click on the picture, "Photo Gallery," on right of page. Then click on picture #15.
