Hope the replacement regs for our game don't get a bug up their rear.

Good. We would've won the game against the Pats easy without the refs moving the ball for them with stupid penalty calls and overturned INTs.

So I guess the Ravens Browns game may be the last with replacement refs.

It may be. There's no way they show up Thursday. Let's just hope Greg Little doesn't get his fingers on any of Ed's picks.

As desperate as the NFL must be, the reffs are going to get a sweet deal.

According to ESPN the a.m. the only way to get the NFL (RG) off the negotiating table (my way or the hiway table) is to make a financial impact. The New Jersey Senate has the idea. True football fans will turn off their TVs on Thursday night. Give the NFL a financial glimpse of irate, if you have tickets choose to stay home this Thursday night and the demands of the NFL on referees will disappear. Do it for the sake of the game not because we hate the game. Tough Love. Our Teams deserve our support, protect them, boycott the NFL this Thursday. Give up Thursday. Send your personal message to Roger. His power and influence come directly from us as viewers. Go to the movies on Thursday.

So you want us to boycott our game? Thanks but no thanks-- I think Baltimore fans got their point across Sunday night.

No idea why you got negged, but had we lost that Pats game on another bogus call/non-call, I was done watching football til the regular crew came back. I'm with you, I'd refuse to support such a garbage product.

NFL Network has been saying all along that it would take a couple of weeks to get the regular refs back after there's an agreement. First they have to ratify it, then they all have to pass their physicals, etc.

Dang- Hadn't thought of the admin part of the process.

That will be the worst part of the agreement process. Feel bad for any team that loses its play off berth in the interim.

Asked what it’s like to see a deep ball from Flacco, Jones likened it to Starburst candy.
“It’s juicy, it’s good,” Jones said. “It’s like candy. Everybody loves candy. Who don’t like candy?”

We know Ed Hochuli can pass his physical. Dude's a beast!
