In each of this weekend's NFL playoff games were numerous pass interference calls that weren't called. Now, I don't want to sound like I think the officiating was bad, because I have officiated football games before, and it's easy to miss things.

NFL Playoff officiating: Rate Referees

Was the officiating in this weekends NFL playoffs good or bad?

I think it started in the Denver v. New England Patriot game on the pass interference call, but every NFL playoff game this weekend seemed to have an unbelievable call.

Then there was the interception in the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Indianapolis Colts, a game which did not live up to the hype. But the interception that wasn't seemed like a horribly blown call.

Just when you thought it was done, came the fumble for a touchdown that wasn't in the Bears and Panthers game.

In each of these games were also numerous pass interference calls that weren't called. 

Now, I don't want to sound like I think the officiating was bad, because I have officiated football games before, and it's easy to miss things. In hindsight and on replay everything seems so obvious, but in real time, officiating isn't so easy.

Still, most of these bad calls, or no-calls, often came at critical times in each game. Ironically, it seemed many of these questionable calls came at times when one team was set to take control of the game, and then officiating took over.

Then came the Super Bowl. How can every blown call go against the same team? What's wrong with NFL officiating?

Or maybe it was just me. What did you think of the referees and officiating in this year's NFL playoff games and the Super Bowl?

Rate the referees and officiating in this year's NFL playoffs.
