These guys aren’t replacement official’s. They are Scabs and will be know as Scabs their whole life. Their kids will know, friends, etc.

they won’t be scabs once the nfl fires them and cleans house…i get the need for unions in factorys and trucking and such,but for part time refs? c’mon..and they want a pension and no accountabilty? fire them NOW!!!!! the ones that are any good will re apply under the real work rules……..”

I sorta agree with you on the unions for sports but if they weren’t there, they’d get fleeced because that is what most business try to do. To bad there’s not a way to to have the unions hold the NFL accountable but at the same time not give them so much power that they can take the league hostage.

Memo to NFL, it may not happen tomorrow night, but somewhere, a replacement official is going to make an absolute horrible call to cost a team a game. So all NFL fans who dont think this is a big deal now, I cant wait to hear your thoughts when an obvious blown call is made against your team.

Dude even the regular officials blow calls that are huge…

I only wish I had kept count of all the obvious blown calls that have cost my team games in previous years.

Wait a minute. I thought these guys were performing at the exact same level of competence as the regular refs, making the same types of mistakes the same amount of time.

I mean, that’s what Jerry Jones, the League Office, and three quarters of the posters on this site have been saying throughout the pre-season.

Why would the league feel the need to take all of these extra precautions if everything was going fine?

Because NFLRA shills put the new officials under a microscope when compared to the greedy part-timers. In the end, there really won’t be much difference.

I thought I was screaming at the top of my lungs at how badly that both of those games were officiated. That must have been a dream though. I went back and checked and yes in fact osi did hit Rodgers in the head and no Greg Jennings didn’t clearly fumble

Fact is unions today are for people that fear they are too incompetent to be able to hold a job without help from a bunch of over paid lawyers.

Scab actors in movies are basically all non-SAG films. Scab DJ’s are what we have when we choose to to go to a concert to listen to someone who only use prerecorded music. Scab CEO’s show up at leveraged buyouts.

They all show up in place of the real thing.

The NFL is a show, whose outcome we sometimes gamble on….which is the only reason we care about the so-called integrity of the game. We don’t care if Scabs are involved as long as they call a good game… and make sure the players don’t cheat too much.

The league have become bullies. Saw it with the players, saw it with the Skins/Cowboys Cap penalty for not colluding.

Collective bargaining or not they are abusing their monopoly.

As of tomorrow night, the Refs on the field will not be replacement Refs;
they will be the Refs, for bettor or worse.

Wrong. I know exactly who’s f*cking me…now back to football…

@eatingcereal You don’t think that happens as is? Ask Ravens fans. They believe the officials cost them almost EVERY GAME they lose.

not every game. the afc championship was lost because of the scoreboard operator ;-)

I want to see if the ref apologists will call them out all the time like they have the scabs?! Probably will because they just like to bitch…
