After the replacement referees called 24 penalties for 218 in last night's Patriots-Ravens game, Pats linebacker Brandon Spikes took to Twitter, and a rant ensued.
The Ravens won 31-30, but the game was plagued by inconsisent officiating in the defensive backfield — causing both coaches and a bunch of players to lash out at the referees.
Here's what Spikes said:
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Some people are calling last night's debacle a "tipping point" that will force the NFL to make a deal with the referees union. We'll see.
