Other than those minor things all the officials are about the same.

Re: NFL confirms deal with NFLRA

I'm betting that we'll see a lot of Coaches saying along the same line of "Boy am I glad to see you guys again" or "boy never thought I'd miss you" to the refs. I also expect a lot of cheers from the fans whenever the refs make their first calls. Possibly even hear Ed Houchuli say "good to be back..we have holding offense ..."


Bottom line this is great news that we have real officials back.

It's about time! Three games of inferior officiating is long enough. Glad to have the real refs back!

The real refs are rock stars tonight, until the first call goes against the Ravens at least.

Referees get standing ovation from Ravens fans

They deserve it.

Re: NFL confirms deal with NFLRA

It was great seeing a ref I recognize. It was also great to have some professionalism and more importantly, eyesight in the stripes.

Seemed like night and day with the crew last night. Even the ref's calls just sounded better...it sounded like he was sure about the call and had a sort of forcefulness to his announcement. Am I crazy about this?

The replacements had discussions, looked around, delayed and then made a tentative-sounding call. The real ref last night picked up the flag and made a concise, strong call that sounded like he knew what he was doing...because he did.

The little things we didn't notice or appreciate before.

This is like when I get to drive the nicer family car on the weekend after driving my higher-mileage, older, smaller daily driver to work all week. Driving that car all week makes our Taurus feel like a luxury car. You don't realize how crappy your car is until you drive a nice one.
