I agree 100%. Taunting is a weak ass call as well as unsportsmanlike conduct for excessive celebration of a TD. The finger wag thing is done in likely every single game of the NFL and in no way was it excessive in any way. To me that isn't any different than a player getting a sack then gets up and does a dance. Let the players play and have a little fun out on the field.

Overall, the refs had a bad overall game. I agree they need to be full time employees and study year round to make the right calls the vast majority of the time. One or two bad calls can win or lose a game and/or keep a team out of the playoffs.
