Ticky Tack penalties are not the issue I brought up. I don't expect the refs to call a penalty on a play that doesn't affect the outcome of the play directly. But setting picks (and goaltender interference) is a pretty influential penalty that can seriously effect the outcome of the game. You would never see an NFL offical not call a forward pass beyone the line of scrimmage just because it is the playoffs. I don't think it is unreasonable that the referees should be expected to officiate the game within the context of the rules.
