It could / should have been called a foul on Arcidacano long before the off foul was called--but it wasn't.  It was just one in a number of disparately officiated plays that were similar, but called differently throughout the game.

The crazy thing is, I'm generally the last one to complain about refs.  They were just spectacularly poor today.  Beyond poor--they were flat out biased, from beginning to end.

If an officiating crew in the NFL gave blatantly preferential treatment to one team, there would be riots in the streets.  Games might have some variance from one crew to another in terms of how a game is called, but it is usually consistently applied [with some latitude for star players].  Players adjust, and you take it form there--but the game is called objectively.  Ditto for baseball.  Have you ever seen a group of umps call the game in a lopsided way for one team, while disadvantaging the other?  The answer is no--because it never happens.

What we were subjected to today was a travesty.
