NFL officials are off to a horrendous start in the playoffs. After missing a key delay of game call late in the AFC Wild Card game between the Bills and Texans (in addition to some early gaffes during the Saints-Vikings games), the referees also missed an absolutely egregious offsides call on the Philadelphia Eagles on a critical third down for the Seattle Seahawks.

How in the WORLD do you miss that. Everyone on TV could see it!

And of course, this comes directly on the heels of the questionable non-call of offensive pass interference on Kyle Rudolph's walk-off touchdown against the New Orleans Saints.

It's sad to say, but don't be surprised if one or more of these inexplicable shortcomings determine the outcome of other playoff games.
