I've thought about this and it's fairly simple; the players, coaches, and GM's aren't even involved, because they don't have to be. It's all about the refs and making calls.
Bad or questionable calls change the ebb and flow of the game, and there's only so much you can do about it( apology letters, anyone? ). It's not about "tuck rule" moments anymore, it's a series of micro managements that effect a desired outcome.
The league desires big names in its big moments, the Super Bowl being the biggest of all. Sure, you may get an underdog scenario out of sheer fate once in a while, but not as much as you used to. You will NEVER see another 85' Super Bowl again. It will not happen.
