    I haven't had many complaints about the replacement refs so far

    But how the hell did they call that a fumble on Vick.

    Better be overturned.

    Refs and Vick deliver.

    This game is already 3 1/2 hours old. They gotta shorten games up or else they'll be starting the 2nd games at 5:07

    The 1Q of the WSH/STL game will be talked about for quite some time. Absolutely embarrassing refereeing.

    Yeah, after 5 minutes of deliberation, they had to be reminded what down it was . Absolutely ludicrous.

    The refs are having a terrible time today.

    Almost embarrassing.

    This might move up the timetable for talks .

    get Sunday Ticket and watch more than a local game, refs are horrible so far, they just havent made any mistakes that gambling degens can cry about. but if you looked at bad calls they have made that led up to losses you would kill yourself.

    Wow, 4Q of DAL/SEA game you'll see a Roughing the Passer call on a bullshit push and the referees completely miss the blind side, helmet to helmet hit by Tate on Lee.

    Absolutely disgusting.

    I think we've had more "referee" delays and blown calls the last 2 weeks than all of last year.

    That isn't true, we're just noticing more because that's how the issue is being framed. If you think for a second there weren't fukked up calls during every game last season you clearly didn't wager on any of them.

    I will say that the referees in the DAL/SEA game look 12 years old and it's just pissing me off even more.

    I think the one that Garrett was bitching out over the no-call on Lee hit was a 12 year old GIRL!! Honest to God.

    Games are running much longer because these guys can't figure things out fast enough. Reviews taking longer, getting through a penalty call taking longer, hell turning on the mic is taking longer. Hard to believe the billion dollar business is arguing over a few million. Pennywise, dollar dumb if you ask me.

    there was a pretty pathetic 5 minute span in the Ravens/Eagles game where the refs called a Vick pass a fumble. It legitimately was a spiral that went like 6 yards and they called it a fumble

    Every game I watched today, they were horrible. Eagles-Ravens. Rams-Redskins. Bits and pieces of others. As stated earlier, every penalty takes them a huddle to conference and make the call. Regular refs must be laughing pretty hard.

    Not only that, but the games are starting to get out of control. Extra hits after almost every whistle and many skirmishes. Gonna be one hell of a brawl soon.

    I've watched just about every game (NFL Game Pass) and I honestly think those who have no gripe with the replacement refs have only watched a couple games. They've stunk it up so far, and have been ridiculed by most broadcast teams.

    The replacement refs were not too bad in the first week and this week they were awful. So many bad calls it wasn't funny.

    The rams skins contest is probably the worst officiated game I've ever seen in any sport.

    Um no, clearly holding. One of the better calls. But I agree with the length of games being a problem. Everything seems to take forever to solve.

    You're entitled to your opinion but I disagree.Name an instance where the real refs gave a team an extra time out by not knowing the rules.I agree there are questionable calls with the regular refs too but this shyt is 10x worse.

    It's pretty sad considering how much money the NFL makes that they couldn't make a deal with the refs.

    There were some things the refs union were asking for that was a bit much...but considering the rains of money the league makes, risking losing viewers due to poor officiating is a bad move.

    Baseball lost a lot of viewers after the strike and the lack of instant replay is tilting. Instant replay (i.e. better officiating) is part of the reason football dominates. NFL needlessly risking losing some of its dominance imo.

    That is the thing that has surprised me the most; how the commentators are openly insulting the officiating crew any chance they get.

    How about a referee giving possession to a team in overtime because they fukked up which side of the coin the team called?

    Mishearing someone and not knowing the rules aren't even in the same universe.I didn't think there would be much difference with replacement refs but its not even debatable , these guys are horrendous .

    Any refs are going to make bad calls. These don't have the understanding. They called illegal contact instead of PI multiple times in Eagles game. They take long to figure out where to move the ball. Someone posted something about the ref moving the ball off the hash at the request of the center. They lack the "I'm the authority who tells you what's going on. I've done this 10 years you know shit"

    edit nbc honestly just talked about PI after

    Replacements were horrible today

    Officiating in Redskins-Rams tilt was beyond pathetic

    Looked like 10 guys who collect shopping carts at a fukkin local supermarket were shuttled over to the dome last minute to work the game

    They all should of been taken out back after the game and shot one by one in the back of the fukkin head
