In all my years watching the NFL, I don't think I've seen them come out and bash a ref crew like this publicly.  I said during the game day thread when I popped in, I would be interested if the ref who blew the early whistle had gambling debts, or if they got the call from New York. When I take that call, add in the BS roughing the passer call which put LV in position to score, and now the NFL publicly saying these refs will not be allowed to ref any more playoff games, I think it's pretty clear NY called and told the refs to make sure LV won. They didn't, now they can't ref any more games. Prove me wrong.

I was really hoping a Bengals win would finally help some people get over their pathetic "the league is against the Bengals" takes. 

Refs from the wild card games usually don't continue to move on reffing in the later play off rounds. Also, anyone in the world who watched this game could objectively say these refs were terrible, regardless of the whistle play. 

Just like in the regular season refs are graded after games and it was obvious to everyone they sucked and shouldn't continue reffing in this post season. There's less games next week so why would they not take this crew out who was obviously already a lower graded one.
