These refs are terrible. Not just in terms of the calls, but it looks like bad mechanics (wrong guy making calls, bad angles, guessing at calls before they happen).

Absolutely. They're so bad I can't even really bring myself to bitch about them. How about we get the real guys out there next week? The NFL officiating is the best among pro sports by a huge margin and this little adventure with god knows who these guys are just underscores that.

[chuck]

Case in point, wrong guy makes the call. Two guys standing there refuse to see it, the back judge has to finally throw the flag. I've had enough of this.
