Everyone is harping about the poor officiating already from last nights game. I don't care about that... this is gambling... what edge do you have when placing a wager??? You might want to take a closer look...

I've noticed these refs were hesitant in making an offensive holding call. Was there even one called in last nights game? I don't believe there was. That would be a record if there wasn't any called...

My point is... we all know there's biased officiating in most sports... when biased officiating is out in the open typically underdogs win. Could this be the year in the preseason where most favorites cover???

Like these replacement refs are going to know anything about a spread during a game??? They didn't even have the balls to make an offensive holding call in the endzone that would of gave New Orleans a safety. As most people would only conclude that in the long run these calls equal out... I disagree. If the front office doesn't have a meeting before Fridays games... I would only conclude that most favorites will cover. Let's face it... in the NFL... the refs aren't there to call a fair game... They call biased games! These replacement refs are already nervous... and no one will give them a memo to let the underdog win a few.

Again, point being.... there are so many angles now in winning these preseason games than ever before. Vegas must play with a looser line now because it's hard to judge what these refs will call during a game. I think it's a huge advantage for steam plays.

I didn't notice a fukkin thing different, and after a few weeks no one will even care, the old refs can go fuk themselves, greedy bastards

I barely noticed the refs. It was great.

YOU GUYS ARE KIDDING RIGHT I WATCHED SOME OF THE GAME LAST NIGHT AND THESE REFS DIDNT HAVE A CLUE.IT TOOK THEM 5 MINUTES TO DECIDE A CALL IN THE 3RD QUARTER

THEY JUST LOOKED LOST AND UNPROFESSIONAL

Replacement refs: Just another excuse guys will make when they get buried

I dont see any correlation with what you are trying to say this makes zero sense

[Smoke]

these replacements can easily be influenced by the mob

yesterday was a glimpse of things to come

[suicidekings]

I thought the game was called quite well, but even if there were problems, drawing conclusions from one game is not a valid strategy...

[Br0nxer]

Pay the fukkin regular refs and get them back

Nfl makes enough

Season will be a disaster with high school refs and fired pac 12 officials

There was a game last night? Who played?

I'm worried about replacement officials, but generally speaking, I think that if they are slower to blow the whistle than the old refs, that's probably a good thing.

I've seen a lot of phantom calls in the past where they didn't even bother saying what player committed a penalty or show a replay of it. Like that Denver/San Diego game last year...

But seriously, they just said something like "holding, on the defense, 10 yards". That's a bunch of crap.

I did not even know there were replacement refs
They will be fine

Pay the fukking refs.
Get these scabs out of there.

[22dsnyd22]

if having replacement refs mean less of chance of offensive holding or holding your whistle before you call holding that leads to a safety than i am all for it. i never factor that bs in.....
