Free For All Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 I'm about done watching until they get the refs back. Guys who have no idea what they're doing are determining the outcome of these games. What a joke. Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 sickening--the packers were very classy in a bogus defeat. Quote
GA Russell Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Since I'm not an NFL fan, I haven't been watching the games, and I don't have an opinion of the quality of the refs. However, it seems to me that the use of replacement refs (in any league) invites widespread skepticism among fans, and thus tarnishes the image of the games and the league. I truly don't understand why the NFL is penny-pinching with the refs. The best refs in any sport are harder to replace than most of the players. Quote
Dave James Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Given tonight's debacle, I'd be surprised if the NFL refs and the league don't settle before Thursday night's game. Quote

Actually, that thought did cross my mind, overturn the TD, and I think things would have gotten very ugly, very quickly. Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 THE NFL HAS DELIBERATELY AND INSTANTLY MORPHED INTO A BUSH LEAGUE, JUST A STEP OR TWO ABOVE THE WWE. THEIR NEXT MOVE WILL BE CERTAINLY TO SILENCE THE RAMPANT PLAY BY PLAY CRITICISM BY FOLKS WHO CALL THE GAME. Quote
Quincy Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 THE NFL HAS DELIBERATELY AND INSTANTLY MORPHED INTO A BUSH LEAGUE, JUST A STEP OR TWO ABOVE THE WWE. Hey wait a minute, let's not get carried away. You're insulting the NBA with this kind of talk. Lest we forget the great almighty NFL once allowed replacement player games to count in the standings. Crap, the way some people act you'd think Benjamin Franklin played in & founded the league or something. Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 some scab refs were let go from lingerie football league. link Quote
jlhoots Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 That last touchdown was a completely bogus call, the worst call I've ever seen, just terrible. I agree - worst call EVER!! Quote
Larry Kart Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 That last touchdown was a completely bogus call, the worst call I've ever seen, just terrible. I agree - worst call EVER!! Burt far from the only really bad call in that game. I'm thinking in particular of the one where a Packer DB was called for pass interference on Sidney Rice when the only possible call, if one was to be made, was that Rice interfered with him. Those officials are way out of their league, and because they know it, they're getting worse and worse. Quote
Aggie87 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Posted September 25, 2012 The NFL issued a statement today agreeing with the referees on the catch/interception. However, their statement also included that there should have been an offensive pass interference call on Seattle WR Golden Tate for pushing a Green Bay player prior to his jumping up to attempt the catch. If that had been correctly called, then the play is over at that point, and Green Bay correctly wins. So in essence the NFL is acknowledging their replacement referees botched the entire play and cost GB the win, despite them agreeing that the refs somehow made the correct call that it was a catch and not an interception. Quote
Dave James Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. If this continues, the acronym NFL (Not For Long) won't apply to its players, but to the league itself. I can't imagine any major sport in this country (and I'm excluding the NBA since it's already irretrievably out of control) giving itself a bigger black eye than pro football did last night. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Bigger surprise at 0-3? Saints Browns I wish I could blame the refs....... Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Bigger surprise at 0-3? Saints Browns I wish I could blame the refs....... the ravens are emotionally and physically fagged out after their sunday NIGHT slugfest with N.E. and will be ripe for the pickins',(won't be able to get it up) even for the clueless brownies.

Free For All Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 I heard someone say that Russell Wilson was the first QB ever to throw a game winning interception. Quote
GA Russell Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Is there a YouTube video of the end of the game that everyone is talking about? I would like to see it. Quote

alocispepraluger102 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) men train for their entire lives and risk much of their futures to play this game. they deserve better. ON A SERIOUS NOTE: REPLACE REFS PARODY Edited September 26, 2012 by alocispepraluger102 Quote
Noj Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 That last touchdown was a completely bogus call, the worst call I've ever seen, just terrible. I agree - worst call EVER!! It's not even close to as bad as The Tuck Rule. Quote

Noj Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 Your top ten has The Holy Roller at #10, Tuck Rule at #2. The Motor City Miracle was also a farce. Quote

I don't care what the NFL says - it was an interception, not a catch. Tate was nowhere near to a simultaneous catch. Plus he's an arrogant S.O.B. - when asked about the push off, he said "don't know what you're talking about". Pete Carroll has always been kind of an a-hole, so didn't expect anything sportsmanlike from him!! Steve Young & Trent Dilfer said they were sickened by the course of events.
