    I wouldn't go that far. Officiating crews have poor games, just like teams do. It's early in the year, they're trying to adjust to rule changes, and always have pressure to balance calling borderline penalties or letting them play. Did the Eagles benefit from non-calls and a poor call or two today? Yes. Did it come close to changing the game? No.
    Did it come close? Sure it did. There were 5 instances where defensive pass interference was not called that could have sustained drives and/or put us into position for at least a FG try. The better team won and that's all fine and great BUT it didn't need to come down to a last second FG. And the ref's had everything to do with that.
