Well let's take a look at this situation. These men were brought in because the other officials could not get in an agreement with the NFL. The NFL wanted to continue playing their games for the public, of course to make money, and keep the league going. You can not blame the replacement officials for this. These men were brought in to keep the games going, allow you to come to the games, cheer, boo, drink beer, whatever, otherwise you would be staying with you know who. I think these men are doing a great job for the time they have had to train, but the biggest problem there is, that we have individuals complaining about the officials and they know nothing about officiating. They just get on the band wagon and go with what the media says. Most of the media don't know the rules, but are looking for something to get their newspspers sold and the TV is looking for news breaks. Most of the fans don't even know the rules and that goes for alot of the announcers who do the ball games. So, if you want to watch football, leave the officials alone and drink your beer. They will do a great job and they are getting better each week. If you have never done their job, you have no idea what you are talking about.
