Replacement Refs in the NFL?

Not a fan of either Packers or Seahawks, but the NFL team owners and Roger Goodell need to get the real referees back and PRONTO!!  The calls in last night's game were just shit.

GO PATS!

In all the games in general this season.  They just can't keep up.  Haven't been dealing with the interp. of the rules long enough. Really Stinks as a fan.

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Football by its very nature is a boring game.  The addition of bad refs at least spices things up a little bit.

Take away the refs from last night's game and it was a snooze fest.

You may find it boring, I don't know that its boring "by nature". Thats a deep stretch considering the NFL's fan base. I agree it has spiced things up a bit though, but its not really a good thing. This years football has been turned on its head. Games are being decided by bad calls. Its not the ref's fault they don't have big time expirience, they are just doing the best they can. Still, fault or not, they are wrecking games.

Agreed, Its on goodell and the owners to fix this. In general officiating this year stinks.

I'd have more free time if I boycotted the games until the real referees came back, but.....
We only get the NFL for 17 weeks a year. Then, if your team didn't make the playoffs- you get to watch other teams challenge for the NFL World belt.

:(.....
To that I simply say,
BRING BACK THE REAL REFS!!
