Pretty amazing - a catch on 4th down that was clearly out of bounds, then an interference call on a hail-mary pass, which is NEVER called, and certainly not warranted in this case. Anything short of a mugging should not be called in that situation, IMHO. The refs have won a couple of games this week! -jsc

Really - all due to bad calls. I suspect the referees are on the take. Too many games decided by referees' wrong calls. I did not watch the end of the NE-Bills game, but was told there were some BAD calls made in that last drive - all in favor of NE. Bills were so disgusted that they left the field. NE lined up against nothing (no Bills on the line) and ran the ball for 2 pt conversion instead of kicking a PAT. That's where the 25-21 came to be. Otherwise, it would have been 23-21 or 24-21. I think they should investigate the referees, or bring back instant replays. These refs are inept and worse than rookies. I think they are corrupted and deciding too many close games. They make me sick.
