You're living in fantasy land if you think the replacements did not get more scrutiny than regular refs get.

He has 15 punts. Six of those were out of bounds.

I hope the real refs get as much scrutiny as the replacement refs especially from the media.

Keep in mind, it's not simply about the refs. If they give it to the refs, then what do they say to the rest of their employees? These guys have a union...you don't. So...now what is the cost per game to give every full time NFL employee a pension? Then what about the team employees who work on Sundays part-time like the refs. Why don't they get a pension? You consider the regular refs "quality"?

Yes. It's about consistency. The Bills will need to win consistently and beat good teams to get ranked higher. Barely losing to Baltimore and beating the browns are not equal

They have said it would take a week for the regular officials to return.

I think it because he chased the money and when he got the philly, he made some comments that people took as insulting the Bills where he talked up the philly line (which seems to prove he may not be a good judge of line talent)

How it Feels to Play The Patriots with Regular Refs No Worse than the "Tuck Rule"

Whatever commercial they want to air is fine with me. I take issue with two things: 1. Locking the volume during commercials through the web. 2. Letting commercials blast out at a higher volume. An annoyingly higher volume.

How is his body armor?

I don't see the problem. Sleep is incredibly important. Are you really trying to make fun of them for this?

Trade Urbik or Levitre for welker? I see the pre-game drinking has started early.

He would not be traded to the Bills for a 3rd rounder. NE castoffs, even successful ones, aren't a good bet anyway.

and that ends the thread.

Stay Classy, New York.

It's my understanding that Youth soccer has always been pretty popular (and that is confirmed by the article), but never translated to spectators. That seems to continue to be the case, but Soccer does seem to be gaining ground and picking up steam in that regard.

Except, you're not engaging in a discussion. People present actual facts to you and you just ignore them to keep ranting. You're like a kid in walmart running around with arms flailing, screaming saying you're having a discussion with your parents about the toy they won't buy you. Your posts don't have any analysis or actual plays that you have issues with...it's just wild, babbling. Please, start discussing, we'd love to have you join us.

I notice you didn't address the facts about the running success that Gailey had. Nice deflection yourself, but hey, don't let facts get in the way of a good crusade!

Everyone knows Failey would never run the ball if he had a choice. Not once. He obviously wasn't the one calling the shots on Sunday. You'll see. You'll all seeeee! I'll destroy you all! AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!

Bills had a chance to trade up and give 100 million dollars, next ten 1st rounds picks and 1000 virgins to get Andrew Luck and didn't do it. This is why this will always be a sh*t team. </insanity>

I think it's interesting that the players are all aflutter to talk about the 'safety' of players and then go out there and perform illegal hits knowingly because the refs won't see it. Player safety starts with the players.

I can only assume you're intentionally misunderstanding standard sentence structure so you have a straw-man to knock down. It was clearly stated that they must perform against the best defensive lines and perform every week. That would naturally imply they would have to perform against whatever line they are playing against, good, bad or otherwise.

You do realize the Pats cut Branch, right? He was previously on their team and cut. Are you saying you want Roscoe back?

I'd be interested to see facts or numbers on it. There hasn't seemed to be any aberration. I think there's incidents like this that come out that everyone goes "OMG OMG OMG" about, but do you really think the real refs don't play fantasy football or have favorite teams? The mistake is these refs saying anything. The other side of the coin is, the NFLPA is supporting the RFA. I don't think the players have any goodwill towards the replacements and would not mind them being embarrassed. Hearsay is just that especially when the environment is willing to accept whatever people say about the replacement refs. The same players care little for the integrity when they win a game then get pulled over for a DUI. They're not concerned about integrity when their contracts haven't expired and they want more cash. They're not conerned about the integrity when they take cheap shot on fellow players. I'd say let the players worry about their own integrity to help the 'integrity of the game'.
