Is Officiating this season ruining the NFL?

Anybody who says that the replacement officials aren't affecting the outcome of the games needs to talk to Jake Locker and the Titans -- who separated his shoulder making a tackle, on a fumble return that was not a fumble and should have been blown dead long before his injury. Locker left the game with his injury and the Titans went on to lose. He is wearing a brace now because of it. That play was an OBVIOUS incomplete pass and should have never been happening. Fairly serious injury.... So much for player safety.

That Falcons game was brutally called. It was nearly impossible to sit through, and not just because the Falcons were winning. The refs were god awful and everything took forever.

However, the refs aren't ruining the NFL. Roger Goodell's punk ass is. This is just a part of his work.

JMO... The regular officials made just as many bad calls, but they made them faster.

I completely disagree that the scabs are doing ok.

They are horrendous, THE DON'T KNOW THE RULES.

Last nights fumble in the Denver/Atlanta game is a perfect example.

They also CAN NOT CONTROL THE PLAYERS OR COACHES.

Those guys have to go.

It's also an integrity issue. No red should ever tell a player
"hey, I have you on my fantasy team"!
