The Rams got more favorable officiating last night; no real way to argue it. The league office had to get involved to flip two plays that were just blatantly wrong.
If you want to say that the refs buckled under the weight of the home crowd, that's fine. I'm not saying their motives were malevolent or there was some sinister fix in. The replay offices aren't prone to being influenced by the crowd since they aren't there so they were ultimately able to get those calls right. But that doesn't mean that the officials on the field weren't and I believe they absolutely were.
Combine that with their predisposition towards living up to the 'All-Star' status and getting themselves involved in the game early, and I think the officials absolutely impacted that football game.
Let's go ahead and shelve the 'all-star' crews, M'kay, NFL?
