I'm worried about the refs...

I have no idea how " it jeopardizes the safety of the players," but I dont like it after all the bad calls in preseason.

 

I think if the players feel that they can more easily get away with dirty plays it could be a factor. However, the NFL has done a great job in levying fines for chop blocks and head-hunting, so perhaps it won't be a factor. I do expect some increase in holding by offensive linemen.

The NFL knows the PR hit they could take here and you can bet those replacement refs are going through a crash course in NFL officiating. They will train the hell out of them before the game and they will be in their ears from the booth during the games. In other words, the NFL is attempting to do damage control before the damage is done.

The damage has already been done this preseason, now the NFL is playing it off as a first degree burn. Many people don't even bother watching the preseason games because they don't matter. Now you get the regular season being called by refs from Division I and Division II college football calling the games that matter.... it is going to be a fucking mess.

 

Difference between the replacement refs and the regular guys is basically the replacement guys are watching the game moving much faster. The NFL is throwing a bunch of rookies in to call games they wouldn't even be ask to officiate at the higher end of the college level.

 

They will miss many calls, players know it and will take advantage, Coughlin might even run across the field to strangle one this year.

Call me crazy but I like these Refs better.........they take more time and get it right......I do not hear O Line holding calls all day long, and every KO return is not a block in the back. They sometimes call the wrong # or have to restate the call but really who cares as long as they get it right

 

The regular Refs are too influential on the games outcome...........Fkk Them......I have no love for those greedy bastadds. Maybe their Vegas handlers will give them a job at the casinos

 

Let them sit home like us and watch the games

I can't believe I'm saying this but... I agree with Jack on this one. The "pro refs" blew some HUGE calls last year.
