Replacement Officials
Of those of you that watched NFL football this weekend how do you think they looked in the games you actually watched (not just the highlights) compared to the officiating you typically see? I saw all of the Vikings/Jaguars game and segments of a few others and they looked equal to or better than what I saw last year, just wondering what others are seeing.
it was BAD today.
I mean....
how do you screw up the 2-min warning?

looks like the "pick" play is very much in vogue amongst NFL receivers, saw it executed in more than a few games (Pack vs 49ers) (Saints vs Skins) and was never called

The replacements are horrible!
Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger
The replacement refs are not good.

I remember some bad officiating by the regular officials as well. Ed Hochuli comes to mind. Did these temps change the outcome of any games?

you think the cowgirls coulda beat my giants at home without um?
the non-call and ball placement changed the hole flow of the game.
that, and no ground game gave Dallas that win.

Yes I do. Dallas outplayed them for a change. What call are you talking about? I just read two articles (Bloomberg and NBC) about the officiating in that game. Both were very complimentary about the officiating in that game except for a missed pass interference call. That happens with the regular officials.
I did notice that one official used the wrong hand signal for delay of game penalty early on. Did that cost the Giants the game?

There were several calls that were questionable, but hardly so awful that I would have 'wished' for the so-called "regulars". They have made PLENTY miscues...and certainly aren't to be put on a pedestal.
What I noticed mostly, was the 'slowness' of throwing the flag, like they needed to mull over what they had seen before they could make a decision. Not sure that's all bad, but Collingsworth was almost apoplectic about it.
I did get a kick out of the Stillers attempt to throw the red coaches flag...all it cost them was a lost time out.
The call that COULD have had implications for turning around the score, was the hit in the back during a punt return that was flagged and then "picked up", with the result of that play being a TD. But in the end, it didn't matter, since the Skins took it to the Saints, in a pretty entertaining game.
After not being a huge Payton Manning fan I was still happy to see him back to playing with no obvious pain or disability. I'm sure he has worked hard to rehab and return to playing form. It was good to watch how well his team responded and seemed to be on the same page with him when he went to running the offense with no hudle. That was also an entertaining game.

When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Since the regular refs are on strike, but the players union is not honoring the strike how do they expect to get their demands met? Are there other unions supporting them?
