If you didn't think refs/calls couldn't get any worse, think again. Yes, if the Referees Union doesn't reach a deal before the season you will have reserve refs. Who have three months to learn the rule-book.

Talks between NFL and officials for new deal have broken off. NFL has advised all teams it is now working to hire replacement officials.

Refs are spoiled kids anyway so maybe the replacements will except they don't know everything and overturn a few calls. Lets get former defensive guys to do it. Brees gets creamed starts crying, ref slaps the poo out of him and tells him to suck it up.

Basically the refs will be hired from small college football conferences. If you think NFL refs are bad, you are sorely mistaken. Just watch the outcry if these pathetic replacement refs have to officiate a real game that matters.

hard to think it could get worse but I guess common sense says it probably will.

i love it when everyone gets pissed off anyway. should be fun.

those that believe that the betting circles have most of it wired anyway won't have much to worry about. those that believe that everything that happens on the field is untampered with should be terrified. cam-first idiots won't care either way.

the sane among us will be fine going into each game like always. with at cynical disdain for the zebras and an understanding that they will eff it up bigtime when given the opportunity.

      I am too. Frank became completely disinterested in the HC job after the draft.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      down 24 and we get our first possession in the 3rd and what happens?  run TE checkdown TE checkdown run run run RB checkdown TE checkdown run TE checkdown incomplete TE checkdown run now on the 4 yard line- Renfrow TD and POOF!  3rd quarter is over.  That's not a team even trying to get back into the game in reality.  That's just the Panthers taking freebies to make it look respectable in the end and guess what? Bryce gets to pad on 6/7 to his stat line in exchange for making the 3rd quarter disappear.  Not sure the hyper focus on the depth of the corners.  Cardinals were going to simply drop and allow the easy stuff underneath.  Which they did.  Did they play a random short yardage play a little different? Sure.  That doesn't' mean they weren't just letting the Panthers overall eat clock to bring the game to an end.  The Cards strategy was fine on D.  You just don't generally see teams implement it as early as they did but they were up pretty big.  It's the other units for the Cards that fugged the plan up.  again, it's 3 drives,  the ONE in the 3rd quarter and only drive of the entire quarter and the 2 to open the 4th.  Cardinals gave Bryce stuff in exchange for clock  (and the result was slow long drives eating the clock).  The rest of the game? They didn't.  The rest of the game outside of those 3 drives the Cards weren't in garbage allowance mode and Bryce stunk

      But a serious question is, does he not see a guy come open because he misses seeing them on the field, which happens to every QB, or, is his vision blocked by the wide bodies in front of him instead of the helmets other QBs experience? For instance missing a wide open Chuba. Did he not see him or could he literally not see him? I tend to think the latter is a far bigger problem than we're being led to believe it is.
