Comments on: If Mike Pereira still graded NFL refs, he’d give replacements an F

This falls squarely under the category of “Duh.”

What would any thoughtful person expect Pereira to say in this situation?

Pereira, likeable as he is, made a lot of severely stretched arguments regarding bad calls too. Pereira is a good guy — but he can deftly manipulate an argument to serve his alterior motives.

Good thing he doesn’t. ref makes calls from one angle and might not catch all the action that’s why so many miss calls but replacement or officials refs makes bad calls

Did you idiots consider that maybe Pereira is against the replacement refs BECAUSE THEY ARE OBJECTIVELY INFERIOR TO THE REGULAR REFS, and not because he’s simply butt buddies with them? God, the way most of you talk about the refs is just plain dumb.

5 penalties called on the Cowboys on their final touchdown drive actually helped us run the clock down; then we finished it off with a brilliant throw and catch to Miles Austin; leaving no time for Giants; game over; 10 days to work O-line for Seattle road game; stars look bright!

Sorry Mike Pereira … I don’t find anything wrong with the officals … infact I love them. The Raiders are not getting screwed.
I find it funny how the new officals are not penaltizing the Raiders as much as the regular refs do … maybe Mike can explain that.

Part of me wants to see these guys completely screw the pooch tonight. Half a dozen egregiously bad calls including one that decides the game.

The other part of you ran down your mommas leg.

Here’s what it comes down to. These f-wads want more than $75000 for a part time job. 16 weeks of work for 75K. Screw ‘em, keep the “scabs”.

His greedy butt is in cahoots with the locked out zebras, and it’s not even funny how much of a shill he is.

If Collingsworth and other tv announcers are going to criticize the replacement refs then they need to continue the criticism when and if the “regular” refs come back.

MP is trying to get himself a 100% raise to do what a HS gym teacher could do, of course he is gonna say this. I will take a few bad call to give these average joes a shot, its not like the greedy overpaid refs of old got everything right anyway. Its refreshing to see these refs out there, who are HS teachers on the side, workin there ass off and not worried about how to increase their face time on TV. Suck it Pereira, the gravy train is over.

His comments are worthless!
Remember he thought Calvin Johnson’s TD catch was incomplete because of the “process”! Blah, Blah. What do you expect ? He’s just pimping his puppets!

Hope that reliance on the scab refs means that NFL accelerates central review of all games by head of officials, they way they do in the NHL from Toronto. And then keep that system.

Either he’s a shill OR the new refs are doing a bad job. You gotta pick one guys, you can’t have it both ways.

He should have been this harsh on Bill Leavy and the rest of that SB XL crew. Those refs cost poor Seattle a superbowl win. Forget about these meaningless preseason games, that was the superbowl!

Pereira failed to mention that the greedy capitalist pig regular referees were not removed when they got an F!

Gee, I thought the NFL’s lackey Ray Anderson said the league was locking out the refs because they needed to introduce some “accountability” into the refereeing system? Now we hear that Mike Pereira’s job was to grade officials on a weekly basis.

Guess this dispute really is more about nickle and diming the officials than “accountability.”

And while we are at it, when will Mr. Goodell be held accountable for the cluster **** he has presided over the last two off seasons?

Mike is one sided always, his comments no one cares. He gets a F in the prodcast both and what he brings to the game.

I think I’d do a better job. I watched a game where they took back a TD because they said his knee was down. Then they spotted the ball where his KNEE was and not where the BALL was. lol?

By: nathanbetz91

first off yes they arent the best, so it wouldnt take an expert like him to grade that,becuase any random person could and probably would come to that solution. but second of all give them some credit for gods sake some of these guys are coming from d2 or d3 schools where they dont care as much and the competition level isnt nearly as high. so stop ragging on them becuase theyve missed a few calls here and there just be happy the season isnt put on hold until the real refs reach a compromise

Article about Mike Pereira. Bunch of comments about how all unions are bad. Bunch of comments about how “part-time” referees shouldn’t be making more than ‘me and my full-time job.’

Way to stay on topic, fellas.

P.S. No one cares that a professional working for the NFL, part-time or otherwise, is making more money than you. If you have a problem with that, it certainly isn’t the referees fault. Whine about it to your buddies, not on a football website.

In our house it is always a race to see who can hit the mute button first when they go to Pereira for some “expert” analysis
