San Francisco 49ers guard Alex Boone was not happy with the performance of the referees in his team's loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

Boone did not hold back in his criticism of the referees after the game.

"I'm not too worried about getting fined. I thought those refs sucked," Boone said postgame. "You call running into a player when nobody even touched you. I mean, if you don't like what we say, then don't like what we say. Don't throw a flag for it. That's what I'm sick about this league."

The referees flagged the 49ers 13 times during the game, with Boone clearly feeling that the officiating crew was one of the main reasons his team ultimately lost 19-13.

"This is supposed to be a man's game. Be a man. That's what pisses me off," he continued. "It's guys like that work in this league, work on this field, and we have to deal with it. Whatever. It was a terrible call. It was terrible calls all game. I don't care what the league says, I don't care what Roger says. It's the truth. You don't like it, get the hell out of there."
