This could be exactly the game we need to get the regular refs back. Replacement refs are on full display tonight and it's not good.

Keep on doing what you do, replacements. Need the regulars back.

I'll keep the scrubs. They don't seem to have the built in pats/steelers/cowboys bias.

I don't know. These guys are influencing the game way too much, have no control over the game and look at players and coaches way too much before throwing flags. I will agree that a regular red would not have called that Gronk hold yesterday.

I don't see how they've done all that much worse, although I was pissed as hell about the timeout thing in our game. But, we've been screwed countless times by the regular refs too. I'm still convinced that was a fumble at the end of the Giants game last year, not a player giving himself up.

They just dish out 4th timeouts instead, lol. Replacements are terrible and the games are running waaaaaay too long. Not to mention they can't control the players on the field.

I see no difference between the replacement and regular refs. Other than a couple glitches, which is to be expected, the games haven't looked any diferent to me. It's not like the regular refs didn't make mistakes. I remember the ref, Bogard I think is his name, being as bad a ref as I have ever seen. Plus, the replacement refs will only continue to get better.

Disagree every year we bitch moan and complain about how awful the reg refs are too. We have seen some god awful games. But their biases gleam through.

They've been bad, I'm just waiting for that day 2-3 games are lost on one day. But I'm also with Shane when he talks about no favoritism for the most popular teams...anyone who doesn't think is exists is absolutely nuts!!!

Getting kind of tired of the replacement blaming. They are not the regular guys.. I blame the NFL and the regular refs.

these announcers saying they're "doing their best" is disgusting too. If this is their best, they need to be taken out back and shot. Get em out of the gene pool. They're an embarrassment to humanity

It's not their fault, we could have no football.

Blame the owners cause they are the ones locking out the refs

Wow, i never cared for Packers but this is just BS. I feel really bad. It's almost refs wanted the home team to win so they won't get killed leaving the city.
