| Quote: | | The NFL reached out to the owners, general managers and coaches of all 32 teams this week to advise them that the type of on-field behavior it witnessed last weekend will not be acceptable this weekend. |
| Quote: | | Coaches including coach John Fox and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio of the Denver Broncos, along with San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, were spotted berating officials in a way unacceptable to the league office. |
I see both sides of this. The officials are doing a terrible job in some games. The Monday night game was a perfect example. Fox and Del Rio had a good reason for being hot.
However, there is a code of conduct and if someone were to talk to me the way Fox was talking to the officials, the outcome wouldn't have been good.
Bottom line is we have to get the regular guys back. The NFL makes way too much money to employ people who are average at what we do. The fans wouldn't put up with marginal players in the event of a players strike so why should we put up with marginal officials?

We shouldn't but we will. The NFL will not lose ONE fan over this strike. I doubt it ends anytime soon. The officials are terrible in most cases but they are getting better. And I also like how they are calling some of the more tricky calls, like PI (seems like they're trying to let the guys play a bit more than in previous years), but they still F that up a couple times a game. Flags for pushing a QB out of bounds are ridiculous and they miss a lot of other unnecessary roughness and late hit calls. Not to mention they can't even spot the ball correctly.
Still, we are all going to keep watching. Unless someone wants to start a boycott for the NFL!?!? Anyone!? Anyone!?! Bueller?
Didn't think so.

Simple stuff like spotting the ball and saying who recovered a fumble is something they're not excelling at but they have made so gutsy calls like PackAtBroncos07 said. Thing is if the normal refs come back and make mistakes what will be said then?

I wonder when Goodell is going to start fining fans who boo at the replacement refs.

I'm not surprised either. They deserved fines. And they are probably fine with paying them because they got their point across.
Did anyone see Belicheck grab the official after the game last night in protest of the field goal that ended the game? He's almost assured of a big fine.

I guess he could do some jail time if the ref considered it an assault.
