Question for you, why does the NFL especially in playoff games, not make OT a full 10 minute quarter and whoever has the lead at the end is the winner? If no winner is decided, they can do another 10 minute sudden death quarter. That's what I would suggest.

The game that convinced me the NFL officiating was corrupt, was the NFC championship game between the Redskins and the 49ers. It was late in the game and the Redskins needed to keep their drive alive for a chance at a field goal to win the game. They went to forth down three times in a row. And all three times they did not make a first down on fourth down. The officiating called a penalty against the 49ers following each of the failed fourth down conversion attempts. One player was called for holding and wasn't anywhere near the play. What was the motive for the NFL to do this? Ronald Reagan was on national television stating he wanted the Redskins to win.

Mike I agree that something isn’t right with the officiating, but people are just now saying this. Last year in the AFC Championship game their were ALOT of missed calls. 1 of which was a holding call that was a touchdown for Cincinnati. Another call last year was when the chiefs won our challenge but we lost our timeout. The reason this happened was because Andy reed “called his timeout”. Everyone knows you can’t call back to back timeouts. This wouldn’t have mattered but at the end of the first half the Chiefs couldn’t stop the clock to kick a field goal, if you remember the chiefs lost by 3. I agree something isn’t right, but come on bengals. Don’t be sore losers about this. Edit: I also think that Vegas and gambling has something to do with this. Also I’m not saying it’s just my team, all teams have been screwed by the refs in the playoffs.

After all, they technically "screwed" the Raiders last year on an erroneous whistle that ended up being the difference in the game (and ultimately them going all the way to the Super Bowl).

This is not the only game that had horrific officiating. Watch any Tom Brady at New England games where he tells the officials what to call, and they do! Look at the New England vs. Atlanta game where New England's D stopped the #1 offense in the league, came back from 20 some points down. I call BS. Remember, the NFL, like the WWE, like the NBA, like the NCAA is all entertainment. These games are choreographed, and they know who's going to win the Superbowl before the season even starts... They are actors playing a part on the stage... I quit watching many years ago.
