RE:"My example is not quite as clear cut but I think the Dolphins/Patriots game was won by the Patriots because of a bad pass interference call."

Yep, yet another bad call. Hard to feel sorry for the Dolphins after they called up Murphy's law of bonehead moves in the last 45 minutes of that game while leading by 11.

Pass interference calls in general seem to be a problem.
Just throw down field and get a call. Great offence.

In the case of Ohio State - Miami, that Ref, Terry Porter had been reprimanded a couple times during the year as it was. 2 because of bad calls towards Ohio State. So he had an interest. What a make up call he made! You just don't let a guy like that ref a game like that. Somehow they did and he came through for OSU.

RE:"They should have put the other teams away so that one bad call can't settle the game."

That would be nice but most of the time it doesn't work that way. Parity guarantees close games.
