No, that is one thing you can be sure of. Rest assured during that two months of training they had, the new refs were taught how to give big-name players like Brady all the calls, just like the old crew.

I'm sure they were also given their official NFL contact lenses, guaranteed to reduce their vision by at least 50%.

I'm not worried about it. The guys they are bringing in are experienced college refs. I don't really see more mistakes during college games than i do during pro games so not worried about it at all.

LOL well you know, I think that could be a positive aspect of the replacement officials.
The regular guys let certain players get away with stuff, like Revis for example, who commits illigal contact on virtually every pass play of his life.
Maybe the new guys won't do that.

and don't forget the infamous 'there was no holding because it was a screen pass' call last year for another well known rival qb that prevented a safety

Exactly. Good riddance to those dumbasses. Missing a call is one thing but just making shit up should've gotten them fired.

lol considering that ARIZONA had a few penalties in our game last night, I believe I will have to change my stance on the issue, yes I am worried.
