	Knew this was going to come up. Yes, there were some questionable
calls at the end of the game (particularly the holding). But some went
against the Skins, also. Just a few plays earlier their was obvious
pass interference that was not called.

	One parting shot about the pass interference call. The critical
thing seems to be whether the ball was catchable. In a post-game 
interview, the defender said that he didn't think the ball was
catchable. Then he stated that he pushed off on the receiver to 
make sure that he couldn't get to the ball, as it came over them.
This sounds like somewhat of a contradiction. It is too bad that
the game was decided by these calls, but the whole game was full of
questionable officiating, and I don't think that it really favored
one team over the other. Guess we will just have to put up with it
until they go to "instant replay" officiating.
