How hard is it to make sure the best, most experienced group of refs are scheduled for the biggest games (playoffs, primetime), and tell them to call it tight BOTH WAYS. They could also watch a little game tape and see ALL the cheap shots that are doled out like candy from both teams.

Since they don't, they obviously want it.

Exactly, which is why I added the caveat at the end of my post.  I don't think they really care.  Gronkowski should have been ejected, and suspended.  Iloka's suspension should have been upheld.  It was a bang bang play, as was JuJuBead's, but you can't go in there high, leading with your helmet.  I'd have to watch the replay, but it seems he could've aimed at the torso, and had a better shot dislodging the ball.

They secretly LOVE the violence between these teams.  Otherwise, they wouldn't schedule a prime time game between them, knowing full well what the outcome, and the nature of the matchup will be.
