Agree.
The officials should not have mentioned anything to the defense. Let the offense do their job - down the ball and protect the QB. Let the defense do their job - try to get the ball back so they can win the game. Let the officials do their job - unbiased enforce the rules of the game.
Do we tell the defense when the the offense is going to run a reverse? A pass? A punt?
Just do your job.
