The New York Jets and Buffalo Bills squared off in a highly-anticipated divisional matchup.
The game had some great flashes and highlight plays, including a Hail Mary touchdown grab to close out the first half.
However, the referees were also quite busy.
Both teams were flagged 11 times, and it seemed like it took forever for the second half to come to a conclusion.
With that in mind, Aaron Rodgers put the referees on blast.
Following the loss, the controversial signal-caller ripped the officials over some of the calls.
He even claimed that the roughing the passer call he got to go his way wasn’t right.
Rodgers made a South Park reference by stating that teams might as well start playing “Sarcastaball” if this is the way the game is going to be officiated (via Jets Videos).
"It seemed a little ridiculous. Some of them seemed really bad, including the roughing the passer on me, that's not roughing the passer. We might as well play Sarcastaball if we're going to call those things."

Truth be told, it’s never good when the referees are a part of the conversation.
To be clear, Rodgers isn’t making up excuses or blaming the referees for his team’s loss, and he even admitted that the Jets benefitted from some dubious calls.
He just wants them to be held to the same accountability and standards as everybody else involved in the game of football, and he’s completely right about that.
