While I don't disagree with much of what you said, I think the officiating in the NFL has gotten worse. I've said it before and I'll say it again...the NFL REALLY needs to get a handle on pass interference calls. Some of them they don't call are so ridiculously obvious, while many of them that they do call aren't close to being pass interference. If I were an NFL official, I would be embarrassed at just how bad they are on that call. The difference with me is that I don't think the officials are out to get any one team. I think the officiating is equally horrendous across the board. While I'm not someone who would piss and moan about the officials costing my team a win, it's really a bad thing (and inexcusable) when the officals make a pass interference call on a play that wasn't pass interference and the offensive team moves the ball 70 yards down the field on one phantom call. It simply shouldn't happen and it happens FAR too much.
