NFL sends letter to NFL teams saying replacement refs will start season

[yseJ]

goodell is a bytch

I tried to give these refs benefit of the doubt but after a first few games it was obvious that they just arent qualified.

the sad part is that the nfl is so big everyone will just eat it up.
and its about pure greed too...the 6k/game NFL is saving is what...6*16~100k a week...so less than 2 milly per year....thats chump change for the NFL where revenue alone is 4 BILLION

Not like the were that much worse than the normal refs, and plus the normal refs have been flag happy the past couple years contrary to the replacement refs, who have been letting nikkas get the head taken off, so I aint made one bit, they make too much money anyway

I've enjoy the way the replacement refs let em play.The game runs much smoother imo

 

[Mr swag]

Exactly by week four they will be alright, shyt I could ref right now, it's not exactly rocket science

Exactly. Real refs been missing calls. People have forgot

How can you fine players for "illegal" hits in the name of player's safety, then throw bootleg low budget refs out there to police it? This move by the league is a direct contradiction. I can only shake ny head at the pass being given.

Exactly and the whole thing is about greed on the owners part the refs aren't asking for anything crazy unless I'm missing something . This is a league where ocho cinco got 6 mil to do nothing last year. Goodell lost it I can't believe this bull owners don't want to pay players who perform ( mjd ) I can't believe the players Agreed to that hold out you gain a year thing

 

[Schmoove]

Another reason Goodell has to go.

Have you guys been watching preseason ? These refs don't know the rules either and we know they miss calls and then we complain about but it's not like they blowing monumental calls every game and the basic ones they get right. They let the giants run a extra play After a penalty when the clock should of run off at the end of a game you going to be happy when that happens and a team loses ? Thats not knowing the Rule They did the same thing In reverse but let the clock run out

Damn you stupid . The preseason games are horriblly officiated you don't know about boxing and you don't know this . Watch the cheap shots and injuries increase . They only calling basic calls you may think you want that till mike Vick Tom Brady drew brees getting carted off for niccas cheap shotting them . The regular refs do important Job more than rule calling they also keep police games that are getting out of hand with after whistle fights and don't get intimidated by big name coaches and players yelling in there faces

"On a pass to Cowboys receiver Andre Holmes, Chargers safety Eric Weddle was flagged for an illegal helmet-to-helmet hit. Chargers linebacker Donald Butler came up with an interception on the play. But after an extended discussion, the officials gave the ball to San Diego and then marked off the personal foul against the Chargers for the illegal hit. But the ball should have been given to the Cowboys, with the penalty against the Chargers marked off from the previous spot."

I was watching that game... I was like, "Did they change the rule in the off-season????" What's even crazier is the announcers were completely oblivious.

Exactly he has no leg to stand on when he trying to suspend fine players. This is some bull they jeporadizing health and the integrity of the game . Congress need to step in , they mind baseballs business

Why? This is a labor dispute at the heart of it.

My Cowboys don't need any extra help with losing

I know but pretend its about health and concussions or something and how these replacement refs make a unsafe work environment . I know it won't happen but these owners need a lose they out there being arrogant pricks

And guys on here want these guys to officiate ? They don't know the rules and saying that they'll get by better by week 4? So it's ok to potentially cost games for weeks everyone is saying the speed is going to pick up and these officials won't have a clue . With all the missed calls what bout the spectacular plays thag we can't even see along the sideline and in the end zone that they see . I don't care about the officials really though but these new ones are horrible If they were good guys acting like we can't see hard hits and shyt without helmet to helmet look at the giants 49 ers game last year

I seen a game a few weeks ago where they spotted the ball at where dudes waist was like he lunged for the first and they marked him where his hip came down
