[QUOTE="hamkins, post: 186153, member: 718"] I disagree completely that the refs are bad. They ruled that Bigby's pass interference is what caused the receiver to go out of bounds, which absolves him of any foul for coming back in and first touching the ball. I've looked at it five times, and that is the right call. Bigby pushed him out of bounds. On the fumble, they never really showed enough of the play for me to see who recovered it, so I reserve judgment. Perhaps Favre quickly recovered then let go of the ball. That the defender walks away with the ball at the end doesn't mean he was the first to recover it. Week in and week out, I think the refs are doing great. If you compare them to MLB umpires, which are professionals and who have a union, there is no question that the NFL officiating is better. The union protects umpires from incompetence, and the union fights things like the TV being able to show overhead shots of the plate (where their inside/outside bad calls are exposed), whereas in the NFL the officiating of every game is reviewed afterward for accuracy, and the best refs are rewarded. They're GREAT! [/QUOTE]
