This is particularly true when your team loses.  "If they hadn't called that bulls@#t pass interference penalty against us in the third, we wouldn't have fumbled twice in the 4th quarter!!! Dang those refs are out to get us!!!"

I'm more about the hits in that particular picture. They are not subjective fouls, the QB cannot be hit in the helmet or below the knees while he's in the pocket, end of story. I would love someone to review every QB hit in the League for a season and see how many times that call is made or "missed", by ref team, and who it was for and against. I watch most games every week and it seems apparent that some teams get cheap calls and others get no calls (not just the team I want to win), but I don't have the actual numbers to back it up.
