The NFL's new stance is pretty funny. "What? You complained about our old officials too!!"
Yeah Roger, we complained because they did shit like saying Greg Jenning's knee was down even though replay showed it was 6 inches off the ground when he lost the ball against the Giants. Or, fans complained because Roethlisberger didn't even come close to crossing the plane of the endzone against the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Legitimate gripes over obviously blown calls
Those are not the same thing as fans noticing that these officials don't know what the fuck is going on in any situation. Such as ending the half with a penalty, calling a punt downed at the 4 yard line a touchback (which is probably the replacements worst offense to date), or something else I've noticed... calling receivers down where they get tackled instead of awarding forward progress on receptions... ive noticed it a few times where guys catch it near the sticks but when they get pushed back a yard and tackled... these refs are placing it where he goes down. They did it in the 49ers/Texans game.
Sure, you're right Roger and NFL owners. Fans complained about previous calls, but you're leaving out the part that fans complained because it was clear as hell on instant replays that the refs were wrong. Complaints against the replacements are that they don't know what the fuck they're doing, they are basically no better than some guy off the streets.
