I think ever since last season, the referees have exercised more power and game-changing abilities than ever before; from the early in the season Ed Hochuli call (SD v. Den), to the Super Bowl (which the Cards got housed in 'cause of the zebras) to this past Monday night in both features, on the Murphy TD for Oakland, and the newly-instituted "Brady rule 1.2" when Edwards was sacked, yet it was incorrectly called as "roughing the passer; lunging at the legs". I could also go in depth at how many touchdowns were recalled in the Det @ NO tilt (3 at least, in total) unfairly.
It's unbelievable how much the game has changed in the course of what seems only two seasons, in that it now takes overcoming both the opposing team, the schedule, the away from home crowd, and as it is, even the referees, in order to eventually secure a victory. It's scary.
