Having said that, where's the outrage over the refs' mega-blunders?

Did you even READ the excerpts from the article that I posted?

The buzz (notification of review) happened BEFORE the snap. According to the Director of Officiating, THAT is what the rule calls for -- it is NOT dependent on when the officials blow their whistle.

We'll never be sure of that. We only have the word of the three officials involved - and they had plenty of time to compare stories and arrive at a consistent story. All that we DO know is that no official physically reacted to his buzzer prior to the first down snap.

Don't confuse them with the facts. They're fans. They paid for their tickets, and the customer is always right. Or something like that.
