OMG! Teach the replacement referees the rules or bring back the old referees. What the replacements has shown in the first Pre-season games is terrifying.

Look here

This was not inadvertently. This is a case of nescience. What mistakes are the next? More wrong penalty calls like unnessesary roughness? Don't know if a receiver was in bounds or not? Wrong Fumble decision?

I would if we see such noobs in the regular season.

Hmm, funny until they start to decide games...

In the first quarter of the GB vs. SD game last night Nick Perry made his first sack. The guy is a rookie, a first rounder, pre-season aside: there's heavy pressure. So what did he do after the sack? He flexed his muscles. Just that. Saw it a thousand times before. He did it not in front of an opponent or something. He was just pumped... Taunting. 15 yards penalty. Automatic first down. Just think of something like that in a regular season game in the fourth quarter of a tight game.

I'm sure this will become a huge problem if the NFL isn't able to reach an agreement.

What was wrong with the old refs, I mean why do they have such "replacements"?

They want more money. I'm not sure if they strike or the NFL locked them out. But the result is the same...

Use they the referees of the Olympic Games?

Now they make the old style with the good old Tape Measure. (Sorry for offtopic)

Yeah, it is ridiculous^^

Something went wrong with the measurement of one of the throws from the german Bettie Heidler...i guess it is somehow related to that.

Boy, and two germans are leading the pole vault competition
