With this announcement, to my mind the NFL has become as believable as Professional Wrestling. As far as I'm concerned, the refs are there to steer the game to the desired, pre-determined outcome, and they will make their calls accordingly.
I'll still enjoy watching the athletic play, but I won't bother rooting for one team over another any more.

I think NFL’s hands were tied in this one.
If they had reversed any of the rulings, then EVERY game from EVERY weekend would be appealed to them, which would be totally unworkable.
They can’t set that kind of precedent, it would destroy football as we know it. Luv it or hate it...
