Im tired of these replacement refs, They Suck! In every game I watched yesterday there was more talk about the refs then they were about the teams.

[judgementday]

^I agree to some point.

Seems like after each play I hold my breath waiting for a flag to be thrown. I hope they are having weekly meetings going over bad calls, etc...

However, I think the announcers should tone it down some.

[Strikeout King]

Are the NFL and Ref's close to an agreement that would bring them back?

[Wildcatk23]

There like a substitute teacher

[You're Tiger Bait]

i thought they had done an admirable job in the bengals/redskins game, and had just told mrs. bait that very thing---------well then the last 2 minutes of that game happened. it was awful.
the bengals are my favorite pro team/ the ohio state buckeyes are my college team.

The last I heard they were not but thats been a few days.

As of last night they are still "miles away"

[Strikeout King]

Oh dear god

[Stardust]

I hope they are here for the rest of the year! I've been sick of the regular referees and their bullshit attitude that makes them think they are part of the show! Screw them. We will bitch when they come back, so go ahead and bitch about these refs too, it won't matter! I think it's hilarious to see all these posts berating, even saying that the refs are trying to help another team, when everyone did the exact same BS with the regular refs.....

[WideRight05]

^ Agree. People want to watch the players...not a game taken over by a referee, which is the attitude some of the regular referees have.

Ed Hochule is more interested in how he looks on television than how good his crew scores in their game analysis:

Wow! You kidding me? That's roughing the passer? After an interception? Get these jokes out of here!

[Wildcatk23]

Flags everywhere.

[Wildcatk23]

Omfg! Wtf . These guys are jokes. Defensive pass interference . And Sidney rice tacked sam shields . Bullshit

[Wildcatk23]

Clay Mathews just had his helmet ripped off by a face ask .

[Wildcatk23]

Offensive pass interference . Then an interception by the packers . And they give a TD to the Seahawks? LOL yea guys . These guys are legit .

[Wildcatk23]

WTF! Get rid of these jokes already.

[Stardust]

^ That is NOT the replacement refs! That was 100% the NFL refs! That final play was made by the Leagues officials in the boothe! That is NOT the white hat or any referee on the fields call, the is the LEAGUE official upstairs! So, that gets called no matter who is on the field!

Simultaneous possession goes to the offense!

[ROCKSOLID69]

Wow did you guys just see that

[Stardust]

^ no, see what???? :popcorn:

[hoops_town]

These refs are ruining the NFL. It's turned into a total joke. I dont like the Packers or the Seahawks, but this junk has to go.

[The Blue Blur]

The replacement stooges, blow the call on the Packers-Seahawks game. The Packers got rooked. Goodell needs to pay the refs, they are obviously that valuable to the game. With billions of dollars invested in the NFL, I want some real refs.

First they didn't call the offensive pass interference. They call it a TD in the field . The defender holds the ball to his chest there for simultaneous possession does not count . They called a horrible pass interference on a 1st and 30. There is no defendin this crap dusty. It's just blindness from you wanting to defend them .

[ROCKSOLID69]

Horrible ending to the end of the green bay and Seattle game. last play of the game was crazy just cant put it into words. go watch sports center

[Stardust]

Mike Torico and Jon Gruden need to be fired! They made more out of this than what was obvious! First off, in no way will a Pass Intereference EVER be called on a hail mary! No one bitched yesterday when the EXACT same thing happened yesterday in the Lions game - EXACT same push off allowed the Lions to tie it up, but that will NEVER be called, even if God himself refs the game.

As for the final play, that is NOT the refs on the field who ruled that, it was the leagues officials! It was a simultaneous possession, and by rule, goes to the offense - everytime! Gruden's dialog is 100% BS!

It was NOT the replacement refs who made the final call! That went to the booth, where the LEAGUES officials MADE THAT CALL! LOL, sorry, this was not a replacement officials call!

[Stardust]

LOL, even Gerry Austin is completely erroneous - Replay dictated the call, not the ref! Possession IS A CALL that is made from replay!

It jut wasn't this call. The pass interference before this . The roughing the passer on the interception.

The defender cradled the ball against his chest. It is not a simultaneous call.

[Stardust]

^ LOL, he also cradled Tates TWO arms into his chest! Very obvious.

[Wildcatk23]

It should have not been called a TD on the Field. The ref panicked and called something .
