They're close to a deal. I'm not all in on the referees' side like others are, but I hope a fair deal is reached soon for the good of the game.
I may not be in the referee's side, but the NFL put themselves in a terrible situation. I don't know how anyone could have thought that these replacement refs would work out. I hope it was a fair deal for both sides.

Hopefully they get this done. Monday was the breaking point and it cost GB a game. Can not go another week of this nonsense. But to me it seems like the refs are asking for a lot. I'm all for paying them more but pensions for part time employees??
Shame it took a blown game to make this deal happen, but that's kind of what I was expecting.

I'd be pretty stunned if a new deal is in place in time for the regular refs tomorrow night, so I'm guessing maybe a scab ref game tomorrow
^ i'm sure as well, but by the weekend let's hope...

Can you say "Damage Control"

Your loud voices r heard about getting Refs back. We're desperately trying 2 get it done! We want a deal that improves officiating overall.

Hey SS, how realistic will it be for the Refs to be game ready tomorrow anyway? They didn't do preseason so like the players (but to a lesser degree) I don't think this weekend would be great, still better than Scabs for sure.

Even if the deal is done before the game, there's going to be replcaments in all games for another week or maybe two. There's still a training/re-orientation process for the most experienced refs. New and updated rules, etc.
We'll also have to see if any of them not named Hochuli have stayed in shape.

Speaking of Hochuli...
NFL, referees still not close to deal; Ed Hochuli has prepped refs for immediate return - Peter King - SI.com (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/peter_king/09/26/referees-deal/index.html)
