Do we still have the fill in refs?

Four completely blown calls in the first 25 minutes of the Steelers-Giants game which have given the giants all their points... Horrible calling!

I liked the replacements. They were not fat and out shape like the regulars. The replacements ran down the field, where the chubby guys never run and often get run over by the ball carrier.  Overall the replacements did a better job.

The refs in the Carolina Washington game were terrible, in particular the line judge that made 2 horrible calls. On one play he whistled the play dead out of bounds but the runner never stepped out and kept going after the defense let up for the whistle and scored. Under review they ignored the whistle, only the runners feet. On another play the same official ran up and blocked the center from snapping the ball while he counted players then threw a flag for delay of game.
