We might have replacement refs again…

If you think the refs we have are bad, you probably don't remember just how bad it got the last time they used replacement refs... including an incident of a Packers fan ref massively influencing a game.

The NFL, when you consider all the other things tied to it like TV rights, betting, stadiums (construction, ticket prices, heck even parking and concessions), plus merchandizing, is probably a trillion dollar industry. Give the refs what they want, pay them and let's get back to having games.

 

There was literally no difference.

I kinda remember differently. But hey, we may be able to see it again.

good.  get rid of the union refs entirely.

Simplify it then, let the refs on the field make the calls but give an extra in booth official able to overturn or get in an officials ear based on what he sees from the booth.  This isnt 1930, we have technology that allows live conversations without slowing the game and with just that much effort you'll have better officiating without their bullshit union.

Officiating in the NFL needs to be completley overhauled.  The refs should work fulltime for the NFL and should be paid well so they don't need other jobs.  College officiating is better than the NFL.
