I never have said that officials win and lose games. I consistently say the opposite. But I will always maintain that you want to do everything possible to get it right at the end. You cannot be perfect for an entire game, but you want to be as good as possible at the end in a close game.
The wrong OOB call in a tie game with 5 seconds to play is not the same as that same call in the first quarter. A blarge in that same sitch is far worse than the blarge in the first quarter - you don't want it ever, but you sure don't want that call in the last seconds of a tie game. To pretend otherwise is highly idealistic.
