All in all replacement officials doing OK

Despite what people with an axe to grind like Peter King and Mike Pereirra have said, I think the replacement officials have been doing a creditable job and they will only get better. If the officials think that the quality of reffing will give them leverage they may be in for a surprise.

Are you one of them?

A guy calling the cowboys game looks like he is 90. Earlier, they placed the ball at the college hash marks and didn't notice.

You're probably and literally the only person who thinks so.

The fumble in the jets game should have never been overturned. The ref clearly blew the play dead as mcelroy was fumbling. How can cincy recover the ball if the play was blown dead?

The old refs would have checked that

Is this serious?

I mean, to a certain extent they all suck, but at least I can recognize the old ones.

So the consensus is that they suck, so no noticeable difference.
