    Scab refs doing fine so far, NFL loving it; regular refs drinking away sorrows

    Haven't even noticed anything out of the ordinary.

    Only thing with these refs is they seem to be influenced by the players screaming for calls have seen some late flags that I don't think they wanted to throw but threw after the players screamed for them.

    NFL's worst nightmare is the nationally televised 49ers/Packer game. Blown calls all over the field.

    you're right
    even though, the officiating was decent throughout the day

    ESPN, Jim Rome, Dan Patrick,Packer fans are already bitching
    they will unfairly focus on this game and the ending to the Seahawks/Cardinal games

    Overall, the refs did a fine job

    Refs blew in the game I watched, SF vs. GB. Let Green Bay have a punt return TD after picking up a block in the back flag that was obvious. Multiple late flags after the play was over. And a few phantom calls too. Just because the refs didn't interrupt the game via delays does not mean they did a good or even decent job.

    49er fans are bitching too. Horrible calls across the board on both teams. How do you miss 2 false starts in the span of 3 snaps? It was reported that that crew threw the most flags in the preseason. Calling things loose or tight is fine, just be consistent. This crew was anything but.

    Dude that was not even close to being a block in the back. I guess its possible you saw a block I didnt, but the one they kept replaying was a clean block.

    How many crappy calls do you see in a normal week? The Refs weren't part of the story of this week. Yes the 49ers game was bad and the call in the Seattle game but what's new? ESPN just wants to make a story out of it to support the Union.

    Scab refs blew a call in Arizona. Gave SEA 4 time outs in the 2nd H. Luckily AZ D held in the end.

    Blown 2 so far in Broncos, Manning calls for a quick snap at the end of the 1st to catch Steelers with too many on the field, blown. Roth calls time out after play clock expired, awarded TO.

    All refs blow calls. These guys no worse than the others, just being critiqued under a microscope. I prefer these guys so far. Letting teams play and not calling 1/10th of the BS stuff.
