I blame one man for the replacement referee catastrophe and that's Roger Goodell. Roger Goodell should not only be impeached but also disgraced for not upholding the integrity of the game.However, I blame the NFL for this mess. You put high school refs and such and this is what happens. The NFL is at fault here not the refs who are trying.
Something no one has mentioned is the clock was stopped on the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty (Harbaugh claimed he wanted to call a Timeout but never did) that penalty was on a run by Ridley yet the clocked stopped and the Ravens didn't use their 1st TO until after the next play another Ridley run. The clock should have kept running it was 2:18 left with a 1st down on Balt 45 yet they were given a phantom TO.
just wait until the last five minutes has been dissected by experts...that wasn't the only gaffe
if you were to pull random fans coming in thru the gate to referee a game, what I saw tonight is *exactly* what i'd expect it to look like.
I pretty much knew early in the 3rd quarter it didnt matter who actually wins, the other team can make a very valid claim it got hosed.. then it got worse.
Oh so you think it'll never be solved and these refs are here for good because nobody will stop buying tickets? Because we just can't help ourselves? Its not going to end at any point because your "solution" won't happen (we can't help ourselves!!!!)?????In New England, GB and Pittsburgh, yes. In about 15 other cities, plenty of great seats still available.
You obviously don't realize it, but you're supporting what I said. You're absolutely right that nobody is not going to watch. And that's why Goodell can do whatever he darn well wants with this referee situation. If ratings and ticket sales took a real hit, then he'd have to act. But since all of us are watching just as much as ever, we have only ourselves to blame.
No matter how bad the product gets, we just can't help ourselves but to watch.

At this point I'm not particularly fussed about the players getting screwed. I am concerned about the money people are pouring into Pay TV subscriptions to watch a product being negatively affected by the incompetence of those running the NFL and those currently officiating.This is just one more in a long string of MAJOR bad judgement calls by the commissioner. Goodell needs to be replaced.
Back to the game - the Pats got screwed but so did the Ravens. Pats had 83 penalty yards, Ravens had 135. The Pats also got some calls in the 4th quarter to keep drives going that would have died otherwise. It was just terrible all around. If the Ravens lost they'd have a half dozen cases too of where they would probably argue they were hosed.
