I never questioned the integrity of the officials. They have no idea what's going on. All the league does is tell them to crack down on certain players since they may be "examples" of how a certain rule is bent.
Example: league sends memo to refs as follows (paraphrasing, without the cordial business lingo)
"We want to crack down on hand-fighting and jersey tugs while the football is in the air on forward passes. Players who consistently get away with this include Brandon Browner and Dwight Anderson. Please ensure that every kind of contact on receivers is called as we want to call a perfect by-the-rules game in the playoffs and Grey Cup."
Bingo. League accomplishes mission...they've done nothing wrong technically, and no official would be the wiser.
