They played the Seattle Seahawks tonight and they won the game! Instead the replacement refs totally botched up the last play of the game giving Seattle the win! Golden Tate did not catch a TB pass from Russell Wilson! Packer Casey Hayward had an interception! I am so sick of the replacement refs! They are horrible and tonight's game was the worst called game I have ever watched!!! Something needs to be done now to get the veteran refs back on the field! I am not happy and I have not been this pissed over a football game in forever! I hope the Packer protest the lost or something! This really stinks beyond belief!

One of the problems for the fans is that Officials get paid and keep working. To restore confidence to the fans the league must come up with a way to hold officals accountable and to let the fans know that something is being done to hold officals accountable.
I agree with you that this was the worst called game and there were bad calls both way but the flagrant calls were all against the Packers.

I just heard the veteran referees have come to an agreement with the NFL. A little to late for the Packers! I heard most of the replacement refs have worked high school,arena league and divsion three games! No wonder they stick! The NFL would overrule them because in the rules,if the refs do make a mistake(like on Monday) and they end the game it can not be changed! I hope the veteran refs are back this sunday! I can't put up with replacementes anymore!~

I still can't believe that happened...it was so ridiculous.If this keeps up I am going to lose interest in watching football...I mean what's the point? I'm assuming there was money involved in this happening and they threw the game and those people made some big bucks. It's just so maddening.

I still feel somewhat angry over this but I am feeling better! The real refs are coming back! I have heard in the past half hour they signed a new deal! It sounds like all the games this week will have the real refs back! I know the packers players are pissed over that bad call but I am sure they will feel better knowing on sunday they will see the veteran refs back on the field! I heard alot of people who beat on the Packers/Seattle game lost tons of money! I even heard and saw photos of the replacement refs for the game were partying with Packer fans! Now that is really wrong!

The Packers were really screwed and players like T.J.Lang,Aaron Rodgers,Josh Sitton and Greg Jennings, voiced their opinions! They were not happy and I know all of the team was pissed! I know
Coach McCarthy was but he didn't come out and say how he really felt! Anyway I just heard the real refs signed a new deal and I am happy!

I didn't watch the whole game but did get to see that last play (over and over). Pretty bad call. I find it pretty hard to believe that they couldn't make the right call after looking over all the replays. Hope see the veteran refs back on the job soon. My team SF just plain got beat. Hopefully they can pick up where they left off next game.

I did get the Packer players name wrong on the last play. It was M.D. Jennings not Heywood. Anyway I am still not happy about this but I just heard the veteran refs signed a new deal with the NFL! It is about time! Those rpelacemnts refs had experienced high school,arena league and division three in college! No wonder they are so bad! Now the NFL can get back to normal!!
