Look at harris' hold on the hill td. If that happens against kc people go crazy. That's always my issue with complaining about refs.
We are biased as fans. When you win it's all great and the Colts have threads about it. If Colts win we have threads about it. Another reason I shake my head about fixing. It's so subjective.
Think about all the times we have threads about refs screwing us. Now think about all the threads we have about refs screwing the other team. And I'd bet damn near every forum of every sports team is like that. For that reason complaining about refs tends to annoy me. There are exceptions of course, like the forward progress or last night's in the grasp call.

Good post, and I agree to an extent...
I have used the 'fixed' or 'rigged' words in the past and I have decided to stop saying that. That said, you are correct, the calls are subjective. Extremely subjective.
I have noticed over the years that the way games are called in the playoffs are way different than the regular season. They dont seem a flag happy in the playoffs.
My biggest issue with the officiating is that it's not consistent. I dont mind getting calls against KC that calls back scores or first downs, but it needs to be consistent. Last nights game was pretty consistent, although, I think the refs ended the game by giving KC that running into the kicker call.
It was nice to be on the receiving side for once...
