When Tampa Bay was called for 'Leaping" on a missed field goal that was missed by Indy. They gave Indy a first down and they kicked the next one to win the game. They overcame a 21 point deficit to win the game. I lost that night......and Im going to lose tonight........Im really glad we have these regular refs back !!!! They make GREAT calls ALL the time. The right team ALWAYS wins.. They have razor sharp vision unlike the the replacement refs. Im sure its a coincidence. I was having a spectacular year til 2 weeks ago. Ive lost 7 of my last 8 plays since the super refs are back !!!!
Last time I saw that called was 2003

you hit it right out of the park,chubmaster...
it`s all perception and focus...the media told us that the replacement refs were infinitely worse and as always,most followed like sheep....when you put any set of officials under a microscope like the media did the replacements,it`s an automatic fail....but mistakes by these refs garner a mere mention(if that) and everybody moves along....the replacements` mistakes were scrutinized by every media outlet(local/national/television/radio/ internet) across the entire media spectrum....they were the national whipping boy...and as usual,every body bought in...
aside from the td call in the endzone against green bay(which got more coverage than the assassination of kennedy),there honestly isn`t much difference between the replacements`and the regulars,imo.....both make plenty of mistakes....with a little more experience,they may have actually been an improvement because they really wanted the jobs.....coveted the work....
if a tree falls in the forest.......
Are you guys serious? I know these refs miss calls, it's unavoidable, but with the replacement refs you had penalties on what felt like every play, you had fighting on what actually was every play, games were a half hour longer. How can you say these guys are no better? I felt the replacement refs were literally unbearable
