Monday Night Football- Seattle Wins?

Up front, I'm a Seahawks fan. But the end to tonight's game (and the officiating overall) was something else. If this had been Pittsburgh getting the "touchdown" with no time on the clock, their fans would be complementing the greatest refs ever. Yeah, a win is a win but this one should have an asterisk next to it. Every game so far this season is improving the bargaining position of the locked out officials. The replacements need to go back to Footlocker.

Couldn't agree more.

As Chris Collinsworth said last night on Sunday Night Football, these guys are doing the best they can (the refs) but they are the wrong guys for the job. The NFL needs to get the real deal back on the field or I'm afraid someone is going to get hurt. Whether it be a player, overzealous fans with a botched call by these guys, or the replacement refs themselves.

Tonight's game, as well as last night's game, was horrendously called. These refs have lost control of the game (IMO) and the NHL needs to get thier shit together and fast.

The NFL is starting to make the WWE look real.

I don't see why we have to bring Pittsburgh into this.

We are best fans in the world

I'm a Hawks Fan. But if the Pack would have won there would be no controversy. The Refs called a def pass interference call on a Pack on 3rd down that led them on the TD drive. The game was poorly officiated. But Packers fans are seriously delusional when they think the game was stolen. Theres nobody to blame but the refs themselves. Packers fans are all screaming bloody murder, they also fail to realize their Lambeau Messiah got sacked 9 times and didn't throw a single TD. Either way Superbowl 40 had real refs and there was no outrage at all. We've been told stop your whining and move on. Now these jokers continue to whine! Everyone must really hate Seattle!

These are too funny.

Seeing I'm also a Bears fan (as well as a Broncos fan) I just had to share.

To the original point, isn't this exactly why they tell fighters to never leave it in the hands of the judges.

Every call in every game will increase the leverage of the "real" officials in their discussions with the NFL. "See, you have to PAY for quality"
