    If this is true, the refs union better give that group of replacement refs in the GB/SEA game a nice "thank you" bonus. They are what pushed this situation over the edge.

    Report: NFL refs could return by this weekend

    By Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff
    The NFL and the NFL Referees Association have an agreement in principle "at hand" to end the lockout of the officials, a source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. The two sides made enough progress Tuesday night that the regular officials could return to game action as soon as this weekend, according to the report. Replacement referees have been used for the first three weeks of the season.

    I'm happy as hell it's done. But to say GBs season is ruined from the Seahawk game is a gross overstatement.

    little over 2100

    only thing that changes is the pace of the game.....no more conferences in the middle of the field debating rules....

    regular refs will still make some bad calls...

    that's why i said potentially.

    If that happened to the 2010 packers or the 2011 giants, there would have been completely different super bowl winners. 1 game makes a huge difference.
