Agree...the flow to the game was infinitely better than the previous 3 weeks. And the mic work from the referee (Gene Steratore) was also infinitely better than just about everything during the past 3 weeks.

Talking about "shady side officials" it surprised me how many times the supposed league representative that was suppose to help with administrative issues gave flat out incorrect information to the replacement officials. I could count at least 3 times they caused/reenforced a rules misapplication.
