Getting the 'real' officials back won't be perfect......but at least the level of 'suck' will be reduced.

I think we will all have more of a real appreciation for the real refs. I can't wait to hear a long drawn out but detailed penalty description by Ed Hochuli. I never thought I would say that.

I wish he would be banned from the game. He's gotten so many passes because announcers (and fans) seem to be more enamored with his biceps than with his officiating. |

Ok, I'm starting to see why you are defending the replacement refs so much. Yeah, he is over the top and makes mistakes but nothing like you describe.

I challenge you to watch the Chargers-Broncos game from October 14, 2008 and tell me he did not do exactly what I described above. |

C'mon, you have a problem with the NFL in general. Your Hochuli example, your beliefs that the NFL is enjoying this replacement ref fiasco. C'mon, don't cloud your judgement with this stuff.

My opinion has been steady throughout and I continue to maintain it and, to the best of my knowledge, I have yet to see anything factual to sway me in my opinion... That is: First, the replacement refs are not any better than the union refs. Second, the union refs make just as bad calls as the replacement refs. If you want to say the union refs are BETTER than the replacement refs, there is really nothing out there to prove that...it is just subjective call there. Third, where the REAL PROBLEM is, is that the NFL is not taking the right steps to make sure the right call is being made regardless of which group of refs are on the field when they have the tools to do so. That is my major contention... I still don't see much difference in the quality of the on field officiating, other than it being unsatisfactory, regardless of who is screwing it up. Of course, being a Bears fan, you have been a direct benefactor of Ed Hochuli's generosity (see Bears-Lioins '10) so you may have your view clouded, imo. |

My opinion is based on what my eyes have seen not a product of following what the mainstream thinks. Matter of fact, normally I go against the mainstream.
1) I'm sorry but I think it's painfully obvious that the replacement refs are worse then the union refs. I've watched 5-6 games every week so far and in my eyes the number of mistakes have increased, the severity of mistakes are greater and the the number of "stupid" mistakes is alarming. Stupid mistakes are putting the ball on the wrong yard line, giving extra timeouts or challenge calls etc... 2) My eyes are more than enough proof that the union refs are better. 3) We agree that the NFL is not taking enough or the correct steps in making sure the correct calls are made. Re: Bears / Lions game. I complete forgot that Hochuli was doing that game so my judgement is not clouded based on that play, a play that he called correctly based on the rule. Granted the way the rule is worded was something that most of us did not know. Your opinions you mentioned above seem well thought out and you own them, but some of your other posts indicate a conspiracy theory belief that you have in that the NFL could care less about the replacement ref fiasco and Ed Hochuli's overall performance based on ratings. There is no factual information to back your claim, so why buy into it?

It's official.....the deal has been made!! ...well official once ratified Saturday (which is thought to be nothing but a formality)
Surprisingly enough, they'll even be officiating already in tonight's game!! So....Foot Locker and the Lingerie League can have their employees back and we can all go back to yelling at the REAL refs!

Woohoo, time to ----- about the regular refs!!! I was shocked to hear they would be officiating tonight's game. I will laugh if they really blow a big call tonight. lol Better yet, blow a call in the Packer game..
SayOw: Watch this week and the upcoming weeks, you will notice a difference. The spotlight will be on the real refs this week so we will see.
