Seems like CURRENT players and coaches agree with me. But what would they know

No thank you RT @AdamSchefter: NFL now foresees starting the 2012 regular season with replacement officials: http://es.pn/PeTpg9

But, but, but, regular officials are so bad! Why would one of the smartest tackles in the game want them back!?!?

So far, from the five games I watched the first preseason week they called a better overall game.. Sure there are mistakes, but the regular refs made the same ones..

Doubt it. We don't know what regular officials would have called in these 5 games you have watched. For all you know, the replacement refs have missed 40 penalties. I trust the guys who have trained to officiate the NFL for years. I don't trust guys who got kicked out of the Lingerie Football league. I don't trust officials who got kicked out of the Pac-10 because of performance issues. I don't trust officials who until now have only officiated high school games.
