"it's a basic expectation of any referee to maintain an accurate line of scrimmage."

One would think that would fall into the "NO S--T!" category, but....
Nice of that articles author to link another on the Vikings game where the refs gave SF a fourth time out AND two extra challenges. Comedy of errors.
EDIT: The second article linked to a third, also about the '9ers/Vikes game, where the refs screwed up the KICKOFF by calling the kicking team for an illegal block (even though the kicking team has no ball carrier for which TO block.) At least they caught that one, though there remains some confusion over whether they meant to call the Vikings for an actual illegal block but simply picked up the flag in embarrassment after inadvertently calling it on the '9ers.

"still doesn’t understand how timeouts or challenges work. Advantage: replacement refs." REALLY?!

Only fair; you and rt made me agree with Cannoli in the Eli vs. Romo threads.

And here's a straight-up "caused one team to be able to win" situation:

That was the right call. "Union" has nothing to do with it.

why the union comments at the end of your post if it had nothing to do with your argument?

It was a sideline from the major point and not my motivation, as Dannymac insinuates.

The replay officals are not replacements. Maybe Rodgers just isn't a clutch QB *NM*

He was being sarcastic. See our earlier posts about Romo and Eli Manning *NM*

Maybe Rodgers should have played at his apparent high level of play the entire game. *NM*

maybe people should rate QB simply by which team wins the game *NM*

QBs should in part be rated on wins. I mean, that is afterall the result desired.

I agree with Cannoli, sadly. These officials are not much worse if at all.

there is a huge difference between blowing a call and not understanding the rules of the game
