Can't join in on the NFL anti-ref hysteria. Storylines emphasize the referee mistakes. Players do break the rules. Coaches are so dramatic.

The sub referees are calling infractions. Yes, they overprotect the QB's. Overprotect OUR QB as well.
Coaches fan the fire of unsportmanlike behaviour.
Self-debating I guess. Length of time per Quarter is much longer than normal with re-measures, reviews... as they try to get the right call.
Yep, hurts to see a bad call against you, but bad example for youth amateur sports in disrespecting officials.
Self-debating, for sure. The booth review guys are the "normal booth review guys." But of course, they're looking at the rule that "the call
on the field should stand" knowing they're hanging the replacements to dry. In reality, it was an ugly first half. Second half just didn't
get over the hill the first half created. Were the calls horrible? Yeah. But these ARE professional college D2 refs. It's not like they're
just "guys off the street" either.
The old adage, "any publicity is good publicity" seems to ring true here. I think the NFL is trying to push fans to agree to higher prices.
This whole thing smells of a setup.
Longer quarters and reviews = more commercial air time. College football seems to have their act together.
A restaurant downtown is boycotting the NFL\the Packers. BIG MISTAKE! Put black and white sheets over the TVs until they get the refs back.
