Horrible, horrible, horrible. This just about the only word the sums up what happened last night in Denver. It is getting crazy how inconsistent the NFL officials are. It seems like no official know what they are doing they all look lost. Nobody knows what offensive pass interference is. The world of officiating has turned into a game of all guesses.

Here are 2 key plays where the refs did not call anything on Denver. I could go back and count many more than this but there are on the two biggest plays of the game for Denver.

Broncos TD Pass
Broncos TD Pass
Broncos TD Run

I took it upon myself last night to re watch all 6 Gronk offensive pass interference calls. There was absolutely zero consistency in any of the calls. That’s all I want is for them to be consistent. I don’t care if I don’t like the call; I just want it called consistently on both teams.

There are no two officials in this league who are the same, there are no standards, and now absolutely zero integrity. If I had to go defend the NFL shield this morning I would feel embarrassed. The NFL and the officials have now hit rock bottom and change needs to come now.

You know that Goodell and all his minions are going to be in a meeting today and not address the elephant in the room. As long as Goodell keeps making money that’s all he cares about. He was probably popping open the champagne all night after that game winning touchdown. He finally got what he wanted all season a Patriots loss in prime time.

As far as the Gronk injury goes this is what the NFL has come to where that hit is legal and supported. That have called the head off limits so to take down a guy like Gronk you’re not going to do it by his chest. There is only one option left the knees. I am hearing the injury is not as bad as expected and I hope for a quick return. He walked to the locker room on his own power and was standing by his locker post game.

As of right now Roger Goodell is making Gary Bettman look like a saint. They are both just awful commissioners but at least Bettman cares about the game. Goodell should feel embarrassed that the league has come to this.

I think it’s time Goodell parts ways with New England. We don’t want him here… Sell the house in Maine, don’t come to Gillette and just leave us alone.
