One of my close friends is a 'Boys fan. He and I have had honest discussions throughout the year. We both want our teams to win, but we want them to win fair. We both agree that it's better to win, even if it's tainted.

And we both agree this 'Boys victory is HEAVILY TAINTED.

It's going to take a while for me to swallow this bitter pill. I have nothing against the Cowboys or the City of Dallas but these refs are just plain criminal IMO.

I also find it interesting how this situation brings out the Detroit haters. (Not necessarily referring to you, trumad.)

Just saying.

I have a hard time accepting bias or game-fixing at the playoff level. Not to say it couldn't happen.

But I think the same group of officials who worked together the entire year, or years, would work more seamlessly together, and have better communication and trust, and -- MOST IMPORTANTLY -- call the game with more consistency.

It's a bad idea to create new crews for the playoffs IMO. Identify the four best and just use those.

But you got to admit Auggie ....that don't look to good.

It stinks.
