The accountability aspect is what I am interested in. Not that I personally think they are terrible, but a watchdog mentality can only be a good thing

The replacement refs were rough but generally they threw fewer flags and let the lads play. It was refreshing in many waysRabidraider wrote: Fri May 08, 2026 10:52 am https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-referees-a ... -agreement

The worst thing about the replacement refs was the constant discussion of the fact that they were replacements. Every blown call was highlighted way more than with regular refs - we can't pretend that the regulars didn't blow calls too.Xramfan wrote: Sat May 09, 2026 10:47 am The replacement refs were rough but generally they threw fewer flags and let the lads play.

I prefer football when the discussion and analysis centers on football.
