Is officiating getting worse?

I don't know if anyone watched the Monday night game, but Minnesota was down a bunch of points but finally started moving the ball. A pass was thrown, completed and then fumbled out of bounds (initial ruling). Then Belichek starts bitching, the refs gather in a huddle and remarkably change their mind - incomplete pass. The review shows it clearly was a catch - even Joe Theisman can see it was a catch. And we have to endure Joey T saying it was a catch for the next 2 minutes. The refs come back and say - no catch. ??? That took all the wind out of Minnesota's sails and the game was clearly over at that point. There were also several ticky-tack PI calls during the game that went against the Vikings.

I find myself slowly losing interest in watching NFL games (not the Chiefs, just other games). To me there is nothing worse than watching a poorly officiated game - especially one that for all purposes changes the outcome of the game (ala the Jets this weekend).

I don't get the same level of frustration from watching college games and IMHO I think college games are better officiated.

Is there any way to improve the calls? I thought after last years Super Bowl that officiating would be under scrutiny, but the league continues to worry about silly things like fining Chad Johnson and Rooney.
