I’m not here to tell you the refs called a good game during the Cleveland Browns‘ loss to Seattle last week. They didn’t. In fact, some of the flags were downright embarrassing.

Despite this, my stance on that game remains the same. The Browns didn’t lose solely because of officiating. While some poor calls hindered them, they made plenty of mistakes which played a bigger part in the final score.
