I really didn't see anything I could call "questionable" officiating. That doesn't mean they got every call correct. But the big ones, the ones people are calling "game changers," were all perfectly legit.
Snap the ball
after the game clock strikes 0,
especially after coming from a timeout, and you'll almost always get called.
Shove a receiver out of bounds when the ball is in the air, you'll almost always get called for PI.
Have your arm around the receiver's neck, you'll almost always get called for PI.
Those weren't even close calls. They were no-brainers.
Were there some no-calls against the Pats? Sure. But I didn't see anything questionable there either. There was nothing obvious where there's no way the refs miss it, but they swallowed the flag/whistle. Correct me if I'm missing something, but I didn't see anything where I could legitimately say, "If I'm a ref standing down on the field watching the game in real time, there's no way I make the call that guy missed." I saw missed calls go
both ways. But nothing so serious that it raised any flags in my mind. And not so many one way or the other that I felt the need to start keeping a tally. Seemed like a routine, decently-officiated game from what I saw.
