Thanks, Refs!

No flag on the play as Chris Godwin has his jersey used as a leash by an Eagles defensive player.
As bad as the officiating was today, Joe has to wonder if the NFL wants the Eagles back in the Super Bowl as the NFC representative.
Chris Godwin’s jersey was yanked badly on a pass en route to him (photo above). An official is supposed to be staring at Godwin. No call.
The same thing happened to Emeka Egbuka. No call.
The Bucky Irving fumble (non-fumble)? Why was the FOX TV crew seemingly certain the call would be overturned?
It’s brutal when the officials are so pivotal in a close game. Tom Brady was even calling out defensive holding of Sterling Shepard (not called) just before Baker Mayfield threw his heinous red zone interception.
Regular readers here know Joe is not one to moan about officiating, but today was that bad. Horrible.
