A full crew suspension is definitely unwarranted. The IBB that was missed was really the only call they should have got on the field. The communication from the R was not great. As I turned off the game, I really thought replay overturned the foul, which obviously they cannot do (and apparently did not).
Aside from that, the on-field officials really didn't screw anything else up.
I agree that the RO did not perform well, but I cannot image the difficulty of that job, nor would I ever want to do it. From where I sit, the replays job is immensely more difficult than the on-field officials.
