[*wildcats forever*]

After Parry's crew lost control of the regular season game there was no way on Earth the NFL should have given them a playoff game, and especially not one between those two same teams they lost control of just a few weeks before. Add in multiple controversial calls which did appear to trend in one direction and especially when Gio was speared and no call was made and the recipe was set for what transpired. And to top it off they missed a game changing situation right on the field (Joey Porter on the field on purpose trying to provoke players). It all added up to the NFL using amateur referees biting them back big time.

It was said during the broadcast of the Wildcard game that it was just Parry himself, and not his regular season crew working that game. The other crew members were selected as an 'all-star' assemblage. If indeed true, those complaining about Parry and his crew should consider broadening their attacks, and not leave out other guilty officials of performing poorly.
