Since when did anybody ever have anything good to say about the regular refs??? :roll:

everybody just has a good excuse as to why their teams are losing now..

refs fucked us yesterday.. I know they missed a hold on that last minute 80 Yd slant TD reception.. damn replacements!!! SCABS!! :-D
AYFKM??? Did you see the sham that took place last night?? Apparently wrapping up the person that originally caught the ball is now a reception for the tackler...

and you honestly think a union ref might not have blown that call?? All I am saying it that we as fans have been bitching about blown calls since the dawn of time, players and coaches have always used that excuse as to why they lost a game..

Now they have a "legit scapegoat "and a reason to bitch apparently..
Happy 2015!

furthermore.. we have all had the luxury to see the replay in slow motion over 1000 times.. The ref had about a millisecond to make a judgement call.. A union rep may have very well blown it too..

If one blown call causes you to lose a football game than your team is not very good to begin with..
Happy 2015!

My, I like your rose colored glasses...might I borrow them sometime?

The truth is - the scabs suck. Some of them don't understand the BASIC rules of football and have trouble applying those.

I've read in numerous articles where the NFL replacement refs were
previously released from the Lingerie Football League...

Please...somebody tell me this is not true. :???:
Don't start none...won't be none.

don't tell me you are buying what the union analysts, sports writers and play by play announcers are selling you??

No - by using my own eyes and ears I can see and hear what is going on and I don't like it.

Here...let me give you a no brainer that a first grader can figure out:

If an unsuccessful challenge costs a team a timeout should that team be granted a challenge if it has no time outs remaining?

(Before you ask this is a scenario that happened Sunday during the 49ers game.)

And Soup? I'm kinda insulted that you think that about me. I do have a brain in my head and can think for myself.
