From the SF/GB game, while the "normal refs" may make some questionable calls, this crew was well past that mark. When the normal refs make mistakes, it is usually not a routine play that they blow.

Example: To start the game we saw a phantom call. "Illegal block in the back, ON THE KICKING TEAM" and they gave GB 5 yards to start.
Looking at the replay, we see the player the penalty was called on, going down the field and not blocking anyone, hell not even touching anyone, and in fact being pushed in his own back.
The flagrant false start by the left tackle of the 49ers at one point in the game. Everyone saw it. The GB Defense stood up waiting for the whistle and flag, and the 49ers ran the play anyway. No whistle.

Those are just two that stick out on off the top of my head as gross negligence.

I'll avoid the phantom player calls where they were calling penalties on player #'s that weren't even in the game.
Nor will I point out the unbelieveably late flags that came in. It was as if they saw the penalty happen, and waited for someone else to throw their flag, before they even reached for theirs. (example: every pass interference call that was made)

an obviously bad no-call (block in bk in gby punt return) n confusion on timeout w/ sea n az...
and there's mistakes like that every season, every week (including playoffs!).

give these guys the opportunity, keep the best of these if the other guys come back

it helps the sport to have fresh, "interested" officials calling the game!! (if u don't believe me watch baseball and see how many calls they get wrong!)

Best O'Luck this yr fellas!!

and they will be again...........

I really wouldn't watch and definitely wouldn't bet the games if I was as upset like a lot of you guys are.

THAT'S the only thing YOU can do about it.

I don't see much difference. The other crews sucked too.

I have seen so much complaining and blaming and have done plenty myself, but there really isn't that much difference, IMO.

Pretty much. Bunch of guys at work crying about the replacements, too. I said that if no one knew these guys were replacements, they would think it was just "regular" shitty calls being made!

People just love to have a reason to blame, and 'new refs' fill a lot of needs.
