I sure now have the upmost respect for the regular NFL referees. The blow a mistake from time to time, but these scab refs are ridiculous. you guys are hitting the nail on the head. we`re not stupid, we have eyes and can see the real thing.

The officiating was unacceptable but livable cause it was only preseason and the games didn’t count……

But starting tomorrow night, the games actually count and team’s seasons are on the line……….there is absoutely no room for the comedy of errors I have witnessed from these replacement refs in the preseason. It takes the highest level of professionals to play this game, and the same can be said for the officials as well. These scrubs don’t understand the nuiances of the game……..I’m not even sure if they understand the rule book actually. They will drag out games, convening after every single flag and it scares me how much will be missed, or the other extreme, how much will be called.

The NFL is a multi billion dollar industry and an issue with the officials just doesn’t make sense. And like you said brian, Goodell states he’s all about the integrity of the game…….and by letting this situation drag into the regular season, he is certainly comprimising that integrity.

Goodell is always talking about the “integrity of the game” and “upholding the NFL shield.” The league, by not coming to an agreement with the ref union are damaging the integrity of the game just as much as an illegal hit or a player having an off the field legal issue. This whole thing is hindering the game from being played at its fullest potential. Players have enough things to worry about from their assignments to the rules, now they have to worry about getting penalties missed or no calls that are called? Referring is always a judgment thing, but the replacement refs just don’t quite cut it. Think of all the calls that are missed by the regular officiating crews, now how will that number change with the replacement refs?

For 70 milion? For how long, a 10 year span. WOW! They`ve got to get this figured out. These scab refs are horrible. I still say thay are fighting for pennys. The NFL is a multi-billion dollar industry. This is a joke right?!

Turtle, my condolences brother.

OSS- to clarify one of my BBBP, Von Miller leads league in Defensive TD’s not tackles. Lol (I forgot I mentioned PFM starting 15 games, as he’s rested in #16 for the playoffs)

As for our stable of RBs, I can’t help but think baylin is grinning from ear to ear at that!

Wow…I’d say that’s not even in the same ball park, but that’s not even in the same hemisphere.

Just heard that the NFL and the officials union are as much as $70M apart on their negotiations…

Trust me, I’m not a Moreno apologist, but I have read articles that claim his troubles stemmed from McD’s switching the blocking scheme of our OL back when he was drafted. Of course, there’s no defending his injuries, and hopefully that is behind him. It will be interesting to see what we do with him that’s for sure!

Theres a shot it might happen, but a team has to be interested. If Moreno flourishes in Peytons Offense he might be worth keeping. I still say he stinks up the middle.
