"substitute teacher" rules are applied here. It's not good seeing guys getting speared with a helmet on the chin, and then no flag. The NFL has to get a deal done immediately.
If the 9rs won over the Vikings today due to the complete ineptitude of the officials, you can only imagine what would happen.
Everyone has to get on the NFL and officials union to get a f'n deal done already - fans, included. The players don't care, they are getting their paychecks.Comment -
these moron replacement refs are pathetically bad. The fans should strike. God forbid these idiots are officiating come playoff time.Comment -
I don't understand. Pay them. This is fukking nightmarish.Comment -
anyone see the ref in dallas game throw his hat under the players feet causing him to slip in the endzone? Thats the worst ive seen...Comment -
NFLPA sent a letter to the league today asking to have the "real" refs reinstated immediately due to the replacements creating an unsafe environment.
This should pretty much force the NFL's hand to getting the deal done. All it would take would be one injury that could be blamed on the replacement refs, and the NFL could be stating down a giant liability issue.
As always, it's all about litigation.Comment -
Pulling chains on an entire yard. Fukkin hell.Comment -
Games taking way too long
Nfl does not care
People will watch no matter whatComment -

Please. National broadcasters are killing them for measuring on a 1yd spot but in the end they get the call right... National broadcasters are silent.Comment -
It has gone on long enough, restore the sanity, the point has been provenComment -
I disagree. NFL is scared over future litigation regarding player safety. They've proven it with all the new rules they've instituted over the past few seasons trying to limit the severity of collisions.
When the NFLPA is throwing around terms like "unsafe work environment", it's going to cause some concern. Not saying they cave, but certainly has to be a cause of concern, and stimulate discussions.Comment -
Oh...in no way do I think the league actually gives a fukk if the players get hurt. I think it's the perception they worry about.
There's no question the only thing that strikes any sort of fear in them is the billion-dollar lawsuits that are coming in the years ahead. They've gone to great lengths to appear that they've taken every conceivable precaution to limit injuries.
I think if this issue muddies up that plan, they'll act to remedy the situation.Comment -
This is true and people will always complain about the refs. I like it because it's shown trends.
The league officials will outlast the refs.

All is well with the NFL’s replacement referees.
Just ask Jerry Jones, who continues to take a hard-line stance against the locked-out officials.
“You’ve got to remember that you’ve got all kinds of complaints at any time about officiating,” Jones said Tuesday on KRLD-FM. “Did you happen to notice that the ones that were complaining the most, if it were from within, were the players and coaches on the losing teams? Hello. I don’t even have to look at the games or the dates on the newspaper, just hand me one from 30 years ago and it’ll be the same thing – they’re complaining about the officiating.”
The complaints are actually coming from far and wide. And they certainly aren’t restricted to players and coaches.
Media and fans have ripped the replacement refs. The complaints aren’t just focused on poor calls. They are about poor administration of the game, which, for instance, led to the first quarter of the Broncos-Falcons game on Monday night lasting an hour.
Jones praised the replacement refs for doing “well” limiting violence in the game, although he made a point to note a couple of days earlier that Seattle receiver Golden Tate’s vicious block on Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee should have been a personal foul.
It’s clear listening to Jones discuss officiating that the complaints about the replacement refs aren’t affecting his sense of urgency to reach an agreement with the locked-out officials.
“I’d certainly like to see this thing resolved,” Jones said, “but it does appear that we’ve got a long way to go.”Comment
