RamTime,
The fact that fans on other fan boards agree with you on this one, simply does not matter.
Let me tell you something about rules in general and NFL rules in particular: Unless you have STUDIED the rule book, you simply do not know the rules. Knowing the rules is only a part of it, you must also know how to implement, to interpret, the rules. This is not personal, but there is no way you have the knowledgment necessary to do that.
The guys in the NFL are there because they have proven over and over that they are experts at reading situations and applying the rules to them. Nothing but the best is demanded of them by the league. When they screw up, because they do screw up from time to time, they are held accountable.
Several good points have been made already on why the majority of the plays in the clip are not fouls that should be called. If you want to disagree, that is fine. But at the same time, you confirm to us that you do not have enough knowledge to decide if the officials screwed up or not. If you don't know the alphabet, how can you write a book review?
But one thing should be absolutely clear: Claiming that the officials are corrupt or biased is simply ridicoulous and laughable. It tells us nothing about the officials involved, but it does tell us something about the person making such a claim. The NFL officials are competitive guys, competing not so much with colleagues as with them selves. They want to be the best officials they can be. One of the pillars of officiating is impartiality. Can you tell me why, these guys trying to be the best they can be, would want to be partial and biased? What is in it for them? What is the motivation? What would make them change their entire way of thinking?
It just tells me that you simply do not understand how an official thinks.
