    Just wait until the real refs fuck up a game, which will likely happen in the next few weeks.

    Nah, not me. I still hold out hope that it's one of the refs.

    It was some ridiculous shit, but it was no nightmare. In fact, I kinda enjoyed some of it.

    Yeah, they will. But ... the players will tighten up their play and not act like they're on a playground with no regard for consequences. Coaches won't be screaming like madmen and grabbing officials looking for an answer to basic questions. Games will be under control, defensive holding penalties will be marched off 5 yards, you won't have the abortion of Monday night. Yes, the regular officials will make mistakes. But compared to the past three weeks, there will be a trust that things are more under control.

    Sure. I just think some people will forget that the real refs are good but not perfect.

    Many of the players and coaches acted like A holes during this ordeal. They all knew the situation going into games. They should have been thankful they got to play.

    I have to agree with JR on this one.

    So what if it's xx hours a week?

    They are the top of the ones that can do what they do.

    The rest of the NFL is the best of the best.

    Put the best on the field and play football.

    These are secondary jobs and there's a pension in play? That's like congressmen/women serving a term, losing, and getting a pension.
