Bad calls… No Calls… Fan intimidation based calls (or no calls)… Favoritism… Easy corruption, because critical calls that cost games can be blamed on inexperienced refs!
How many games will suffer? How many experienced cheap shot assassins will prevail? How many ejections and non-ejections will be mus-diagnosed? This may very well be the most important issue facing the NFL at present.
Goodell needs to satisfy the fricken Referees Now!

The NFL should not be worried about chump change as the players will be put at risk. Hire them as year round offocials and the officiating will improve. Baseball got it about 25 years ago.
Can’t wait to see the first point shaving scandal with the replacements.

Too many penalties. Maybe these hacks will call less, especially on the QB.

Even now, the Refs do the best they can and after that is Instant Replay. The Union Refs are human and make mistakes. The replacements will do the same. The Players are in no more danger than before. lets play some Football.

Offensive linemen have been getting away with obvious holdings for years while dlinemen have been getting called for not so obvious roughing.

And anyone currently working NCAA games that has aspirations to work in the NFL will NOT work games. The reason-their supervisors are on-field officials and they despise scabs. anyone who works one will be permanently banned from the NCAA (without their supervisors saying so) once the strike is over. The game will suffer, the speed of the NFL game is such that no replacements can handle it. Mark my word

The game is going to suffer.

The Bears had a TD called back on a punt return last season against Green Bay, the one when everyone was focused on Hester while Knox ran the punt up the other sideline, perfectly executed!! A holding call on Corey Graham nullified the TD, only problem is that Graham ran side by side with his man and only touched his shoulder pad once the entire play!! It was a total phantom call, no holding was commited but it was called and cost Chicago a touchdown and it changed the whole complection of the game!! It was almost like the side judge saw the rope a dope working perfectly and he thought “oh no, they can’t get away with that, I’d better call something, and quick”!! Who knows, these scab officials might be even better than the regular guys!! But if they start blowing calls in the preseason, then the league needs to settle this pissing match with the regular officials before they start ruining the season for teams!!!
