The thing that stood out to me was that after a couple of dicey calls (OOB), the officials looked truly rattled. They didn't seem to know what to call, given that things had gotten a little loose. It looked to me like they were thinking: "Oo, missed that one. And that one wasn't really too much worse than the first one. There's some contact, but I just let the last one go. . ." and so on while the contact was obviously affecting the plays.
About halfway through the 4th quarter, they forgot the time-tested adage: "Call the obvious."
Just my impressions.

(1)I didn't see the game, so I can't agree or disagree, and
(2) Chuck is a pretty positive and encouraging person, not given to quick or harsh criticism, and
(3) the folks who would defend the refs if a fan came on the board and criticized aren't defending here ,
....so....
I've gotta assume Chuck has made some valid criticism here. My question is, when a know-nothing fan criticizes the refs, what would be an appropriate response?
