Of the long line of ref jobs this franchise has suffered I think this game was one of the worst. This game ranks right up there with the '09 NFCCG in terms of getting royally f***ed by the officiating. 22 points came directly after horrible calls. I'm still at a loss of words over the Gerhart fumble. The announcers were even shocked after 2 of those bad calls.

Even Mike Pereira said Gerhart was down. Need to go to a NHL review system, No local ref review.

I saw that the raven's fans were throwing snowballs onto the field. Ref's did nothing about it.
I saw a tweet during the game where a fan was thrown out for hitting a FOX cameraman with a snowball. I'm assuming it was so bad that they weren't able to target the individuals anymore. Shame on Baltimore fans, I hope Viking fans act a lot better @ TCF next year.
Once the new stadium is in place and the financial position of the NFL is a certainty, the league will arrange the officiating so the people of Minnesota are rewarded for their commitment.
Can pass interference call be challenged? was watching end of Browns vs Pats game and Browns were called for PI,announcers both said it was a terrible call, cost Cleveland the game. the refs need to be held accountable and should be fined just like everyone else.

Penalties are not reviewable...
I've told people a million times not to exaggerate!
