NFL Football - 2012 Season Thread

[-Jrabbit]

Penny-wise, Goodell foolish. The NFL needs to suck it up and restore order with the officials. This story will get bigger every week, to the point where the league's sacred "integrity" is openly questioned.

And the NFL has only itself to blame.

Steve Young and Trent Dilfer just did.

ACK!

[Demonbinder]

It will be interesting to hear what Goodell has to say about this game. I wonder how he will spin this one. This was the worst week of officiating yet.

[Guynemer]

were I the ref's union, I'd be taking my current offer and doubling it, minimum.

They gonna get PAID.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Uhhh... WTF fake refs?!!

[Ben Kenobi]

In this economy? Refs will cave.

[Boris Godunov]

Absolutely ****ing pathetic. I prefer cfb anyway, but this really saps my interest in watching NFL.

Troll.

Are you sure? As someone pointed out on my FB page, there is an NHL lockout going on, Pennent races in MLB and NASCAR 'Chase'. All of which are huge stories in their sports. Their not even getting a blip on the radar due to the replacement refs.

I'm not saying its right, but as long as the replacement refs are in, they will be the headline of every sports program in the nation regardless of what happens in any of the other sports.

It's going to be a busy week at NFL headquarters trying to figure out who to fine, who to suspend, and who to fire.

They have other jobs, something that is a point of contention with the NFL.

[snoopy369]

Apparently that was a 'fan page' and not his official page =/

Yeah, because if they were full time refs they couldn't strike so easily .

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Yeah, I saw that later. How disappointing. But plenty of other player complaints on Twitter.

I'm not noticing any statistical correlation with the replacement refs vs the regular refs. Regular refs make crap calls all the time. Replacement refs are a convenient scapegoat.
