Message: <blockquote data-quote="NelsonsLongCatch" data-source="post: 466259" data-attributes="member: 1407">The replacement ref who made the TD call actually tried out to be  a Division 1 college ref and didn't make the cut.  He was then rewarded with an NFL job which he was woefully underqualified.  Regardless of your views (Union; Anti-Union; Liberal; Conservative), the decision to play the season with underqualified refs was WRONG.  Just in the Packers/Seahawks along, the refs changed the outcome of the game with numerous bad fourth quarter penalties (Walden's "roughing the passer"; Shields' "pass interference), called an INT a TD and allowed Greg Jennings to take helmet-to-helmet cheap shot twenty yards away from the ball then had the audacity to call off-setting penalties. The replacement refs were so good that they were fired within 48 hours of the Packers/Seahawks game.  Goodell: "The NFL agrees with the call made by the ref... On that note, you're all fired." I give the replacement refs credit for changing the outcome of an NFL season within the first three weeks of the year.</blockquote>
