The league is getting the results that they want a majority of the time, so what motivation do they have to "fix" something that's making them more money?

The replacement refs made mistakes, but they seemed like honest mistakes.  The regular refs are biased and not all of their mistakes are honest.

I agree with that.

You make some very good points.  Roughing the passer has gotten out of line.  Brady causes many calls by his dramatics.

Exactly!! The officials call a roughing the passer penalty if the Cry Baby Tom Brady is slightly touched but Cam Newton and Big Ben could have their heads ripped off and nothing would be called. This is way beyond totally unfair.

Ed Hokalee (spelling) actually said to Cam, when he was on his back after a blatent roughing the passer, 'you've not been in this league long enough to get a roughing the passer'.  The ref never had one bit of discipline or had to apologize to Cam.

Ed Hochuli who is now in his seventies, retired in March 2018 but i never liked his calls or trusted his judgement. The fact he is (or was ) a trail lawyer, tells me  a lot about him.

'( "Ed Hochuli has been a practicing trial lawyer since 1983 when he became a partner at the Arizona law firm of Jones, Skelton and Hochuli, P.L.C. The firm has come a long way since those early days and now has more than 80 lawyers on staff.")

Thanks for the history.
