The officials refused to overturn a ruling no matter how blatant it was until coaches stopped challenging it. Then it was gone after the 1 year. I should say I don't think the NFL or officiating is rigged but there are things that could be done better.

I think Bill Cowher nailed it post game when talking about the whistle play.  To paraphrase, he said we all could hear the whistle on the replay, and it's past time for the league to embrace the available technology that can make the calls correct and remove any errors so the officiating does not impact the perception or outcome of the game.

That sounds vaguely familiar, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
