NFL Replacement Refs

  1. So I just finished watching a preseason game and the replacement refs are really pretty bad. Like they're acting as if the moment is "too big" for them. They're too afraid to make/not make certain calls. They're a lot less demonstrative when compared to the regular refs.

    I personally think that the NFL should just freaking pay the refs and get them back. Cause these replacement guys are like D2 and D3 refs and their inexperience could definitely end a team's season early.
     
  2. i was going to come in and reply intellectually, but i decided not to. all i have to say is that these replacement refs fucking suck.
     
  3. Yea I'm not a huge fan of the replacement refs either. It's amazing the gap between the normal refs and the replacement ones. NFL does need to pay the regular officials because these bush league guys they have reffing now are going to cost teams some games I'd bet.

    I've read that the gap is $6000/game per team. It doesn't seem like it's a lot of money (for an NFL team), especially not enough to justify putting these disaster replacements on the field.
     
  4. They seem really lost
