It was embarrassing. The NFL needs to do whatever they can to get the real refs back NOW. It's hurting their product more than anything else could.

With the bad refs combined with a dirty Rams team (Finnegan and Fisher), this game turned into a hockey game early on...fights, frustration...all fueled by the blatantly-bad and missed calls. These refs also seemed afraid to break anything up between the players.

The worst was that cheap shot on Fletcher, but he avenged it on the next play.

Usually my motto is that good teams find a way to win despite officiating, but yesterday's game is completely different. Can't excuse how those officials lost control of the game.
