FG is good, no wait, the coach on other team told the ref to call time out at the one second mark.

A guy dropped the ball, no wait, the coach tossed the red flag, it was not seen in time.
Agreed. But they've gone so far that they've destroyed the integrity of the game. People should be talking about the game and not the refs.

NOTE: For those who claim that fans ONLY "whine" about the refs when THEIR team loses, this is an example of fans simply decrying the HORRIBLE calls made, even though they did not end up end up affecting the outcome of the game. What those horrible calls DID affect, though, was the perception that the refs were either totally incompetent or else totally trying to affect the outcome of the game. EITHER way, it casts some serious doubt upon the credibility of the NFL as it currently exists.
