Remember that Steelers 11-10 win of the Chargers?? They took back a fumble recovery from the Steelers with little time on the clock because that would mean the Steelers cover the spread and Vegas loses $60+ million...Stamps choked plain and simple. Awful playcalling and Burris once again doesn't show up.

I don't recall that game, but over the numerous NFL and CFL games I watch, NFL refs are a lot more consistent and making the right calls in comparison to the CFL games.

And yes accountability does matter. Because that ref is going to get negative attention afterwards for making a mistake that dictated the result of a game. It motivates better officiating, something the NHL and CFL can use.
