This is a good example of the bad attitude exhibited here. People calling people names and discounting "fanboys" and "so-called" experts just because they're not referees? Have you not seen the news, the internet, etc... all the surveys? Even the Pittsburgh newspaper had a poll asking if people thought the game was officiated fairly. Last I checked that was 51% NO. Nationwide, that number was 70-75%. But not here... oh no... 'cause your heros couldn't make mistakes.

Maybe the seats in the stands could be wired to allow the fans in attendance vote after watching replays on the scoreboard?
What you fail to acknowledge is that the officials working the game were rated highest at their position by the league. They rated highest because they called the game the way the league wants the game called. They called the super bowl the same way they called the rest of the season.
Officials cannot and should not officiate to please the players, the coaches, the fans or the media. They call what's in the books. If you don't like how the game is being called then change the rules but don't blame the people for enforcing the rules as written.
