I can agree the replacement refs were slightly worse, but both groups are horrible IMO. Not that I could do any better myself. But for as much money as we devote to the game, including the costs paid to televise in ever greater detail at every angle possible in high def, why can't the NFL afford to pay refs like professionals?

edit: What gets me about the Packer/Seahawk game: it was the missed offensive pass interference, not the possession rule that everybody focused on, that was the wrong decision, right?
