Many have mentioned the penalties. However, my take in watching the game twice is that the officiating is very inconsistent and somewhat lopsided. I'm not suggesting we lost because of the refs. What I'm saying is they are inconsistent, calling holds on the Rams, but not so much on the Falcons... calling pushing in the back on the Rams that are a bit ticky, but not on the Falcons for more blatant, obvious pushes. I could go on. How many drives are killed by stuff like this? Long knows when he's off sides or jumps too early. Why do you think he was hacked off for being called off sides that led to the Falcons first TD? Of course there are other reasons we lost, especially bad play calling on offense. But the refs certainly didn't help us any.
