I find it hilarious that Rider fans have the nerve to actually state that the game was well reffed and had no impact on the game. Hey, maybe you don't agree that it decided the game (although it did), but it's ridiculous to state that some of the calls made and the timing of them were all perfect and didn't affect the Riders' perfect effort.

How could the reffing not have had an impact when the game winning touchdown drive came after the questionable review overturn on Cates' fumble (and considering Rider fans in this thread have said it was close and could've gone either way, it's pretty obvious that it was inconclusive at best) and after a questionable illegal contact call after the Stamps had stopped the Riders on 2nd and goal inside the 5 for the second time in the game?

Both teams couldn't move the ball because of the weather, but only one team got second chances because of the refs. In fact, the Stamps had several drives in the 1st half that were stopped in their tracks (putting them in 2nd and 20ish situations) because of questionable calls (Lewis' unnecessary roughness on the 1st drive, Burris' intentional grounding that only gets called one way).
