The replacement refs will help the Vikings win a couple games off some bullshit.
I'm hyped.
I'm hyped.
She's awful. Missed at least five offside penalties in Rams/Cowboys game. Watching the game I thought Wells and the LG were awful, but when I went back and watched on Rewind, they were getting blown up b/c Ratliff was consistently offsides
I'm pretty sure this post can get you banned now.
It still burns!
Why need players when you can have refs?
Goodell knows what he is doing. The refs were already the steeelers and cheatriots best player.
All female British Walmart soccer mom refs in 2015
Arizona Atlanta wild card game - the Cardinals were constantly offsides for the 1st half and just weren't getting called.
So...yeah.

But he isn't 6'2"! That's the only way to judge a qb

Judging by how Eric Berry went flying, Wilson also has a mean Tiger Uppercut.
I don't see how some of you can be okay with or even celebrating this. The old refs certainly made plenty of mistakes on judgement calls, but at least they knew the rules of the game. With the replacements I have seen so many basic, simple errors made that even your average NFL fan would know are incorrect. Not knowing how to spot the ball or properly run the game clock, it's unbelievable.
I'm celebrating it because I think it will lead to official accountability down the road and pave the way for expedited technological adoption.

The old refs were shitty and these refs are shittier. Oh well
It's more like the old refs were occasionally crappy, whereas the new refs are 2007 Pac-10 level and might reward the ball to the wrong team despite clear evidence that says otherwise.
I'm kind of stunned at the rose-colored glasses with which you guys view NFL officials. I really do not get it.
Go watch the Green Bay - New York playoff game. There is literally no chance the replacement refs will be able to be worse than that. And those fuckers demanded a raise!

Kind of like the refs in the giants/packers game (as eznark has already stated)
OR THE MOTHERFUCKING JERRY RICE FUMBLE

I've marveled at some of the calls during the preseason (especially preseason week 1) but I view as a matter of progression. Like any profession, the more they do it the more they will learn and improve. There will likely be blown calls along the way but as noted, there were plenty of blown calls and head scratchers from the "official" refs anyways and I think there has been some improvement as the weeks have progressed.
Yes a rookie on a shit team (who did play extremely well, mind you) is next level while a two time Super Bowl MVP is "knocking on the door". Mmkay.
Who the fuck is Marcus Thorton?

I give up even wondering anymore.eznark said:
Which of those is Just Losez? You have to be more specific.
I agree, I would swap Newton and Eli, but hey, I didn't write the list bros!
He means Newton, he has an irrational (well, maybe not so irrational) hatred of him.

Scam is Just Losez
Poutface is Poutface
The rest of those nobodies have yet to rate nicknames.
Starting next week he is my boy!

It's never cams fault. Cam didn't steal a laptop, it was returned! Cam didnt cheat on tests, it was a misunderstanding! Cam didn't get paid by auburn, his dad did! Cam didn't lose games, the D let him down!
Vince Young.
So jealous of Cam. I know, I had to deal with the likes of post-05 Jake Delhomme, Matt Moore, and Jimmy Clausen myself. Harbs will get himself a real QB...someday...
He came so close just this offseason...
Im not talking about all the accusations against him, Im referring to his level of playing. He is a pretty good QB for a rookie.
If VY Just Winz then Cam Just Losez
Cam's on the accelerated A-Godg plan. First full year starting, wow the league but lose close games due to defense (6-10 just like Cammy Cam!), followed by a Super Bowl victory! (Hey, I did say accelerated - he'll get the "making the playoffs" and "SB win" steps in one go).

You missed step 2: single handedly losing a wildcard game against the cardinals lololol

So I missed the draft for one of my FF leagues and it ended up auto drafting according to my selections. My QB's are RGIII and Cutler.
RGIII vs Saints defense Week 1
Cutler vs Indy defense Week 1
Hmmmmm
RGIII vs Saints defense Week 1
Cutler vs Indy defense Week 1
Hmmmmm
Personally think Cutler is the easy choice here.
If you win the SB you can't lose in the playoffs!
A-Godj was robbed - hit in the helmet! Should've been a penalty
I'd rather be so good that I can be a front-runner then constantly fucking up to the point where I need to bring my team back to eke out wins.

That is the silliest thing I've ever seen.
Rodgers is so god-like that every game is already over after 3 quarters in favor of the Packers.
But ARod for Tebow sounds like a fair trade to me. Packers need that 4th quarter magic.

Add the Packers at Giants week 13 game last season to his comeback total. He drove the field with 58 seconds left in that game to put them in position for the go ahead field goal.
Games decided by 4 points or less, Rodgers is 0-1 in the post-season and 2-13 in the regular season
Oh I'm just messing around. Clutchiness and QB wins are two of the dumbest stats in football
He hasn't been in a playoff game decided by 4 points or less? 4 points is such an arbitrary number?
2009
@ ARI L 45-51 OT (like I said, screwed out of this one, should have been roughing)
2010
@ PHI W 21-16
@ ATL W 48-21
@ CHI W 21-14
vs PIT W 31-25
2011
vs NYG L 20-37
Postseason games decided by 7 or less he's 3-1
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
This right here. The difference will be negligible.

I believe "Matt Glassford" is clearly an nickname.
And I'm going to LOL for weeks if Newton collapses this year. I can't believe how many people are hyping him up like this.
I am also going to LOL when the Panthers have a better record than the Lions and beast has to wear an avatar of my choosing for the entire offseason! I'm already 1-0 in offseason avatar bets as DCX can attest
