[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 947347, member: 22662"] Until this story broke, I would have thought it dumb to suggest the coaching staff would be doing this. In that light, and seeing far less shots get penalties and fines, how does one not question the officiating? Case in point: Years ago in a playoff game, Chicago's Mark Bradley caught a pass early in the game and coughed it up to the opposing team. It was early in the game and the Bears were already down double digits. Ref's reversed the call and said he was down by contact. Seemed they had to try to keep the game close even if Chicago couldn't. Ever since then I've had nagging questions about situational officiating even if it is just playing up to the home crowd. It's obvious that the objectivity has something to be desired even at the commissioner level. It's not dumb to as the question. It's dumb no to. Another question. How does an officiating crew go into New Orleans objectively now? Do they become overly zealous now? [/QUOTE]
