Pereira tweet:
There is no way to keep with your tweets. Just know I feel your frustration. This is not the NFL I worked for. Don't care whose fault it is.

Please.....I've watched dozens of games in the past ten years that have gotten way out of control. I never heard Pereira speak out on those.

Roan's crew appears to have no clue how to administer a game. They struggled with this last week too when they were about to review a play that wasn't reviewable only to correct themselves shortly after. Now this week they threw a flag on John Fox originally for challenging a play that wasn't reviewable but he was challenging a 12 men on the field call which of course is reviewable. They picked up the flag and let him challenge the play. It was very obvious from replays that this was a horrendous challenge by Fox, that there were clearly 12 men on the field but Fox just doesn't believe in these guys and is skeptical of every call. Now he is out of challenges early in the second quarter. Now part of that is on him, he either got bad advice or made a split second decision that was an extremely poor one. It is unacceptable at the NFL level for coaches to have no faith in the Officials, you cannot always have coaches second guessing you on every play. This has been a poorly officiated game which caps off a poorly Officiated week. It would be nice if both sides could at least talk.

Bad news is no matter if they come to an agreement tomorrow we will have another week of this at the very minimum.

I do feel bad for these replacements. They are really trying, but are completely in over their head. I have tried defending them but I am not sure I can do it anymore. There are a few who have skills (emphasis on few), but most just don't belong. I hope they can get this resolved soon, but I don't blame any of them for scabbing. I cannot say with a straight face that if I was offered the opportunity they were that I would decline.

I will not try to defend them either but........
Do you think it is that bad that Goodell will cave? If he doesn't move off his pension demand, it really isn't going to change. I don't think Goodell is going to and ultimately that's all that matters no matter how much everybody here is screaming bloody murder!

The officiating will be a big part of the game story tomorrow, if not the lead story. When the replacement officials bump Manning et al off the lead, the suits on Park Avenue will at least pause for a moment......

This is flat out unacceptable. We all gripe about the regulars, but the replacements are turning these games into a travesty. To be honest, I don't think some (emphasis on some) of them are high school caliber.
Get this thing done so we can move on.

They marched off 11 yardson the defensive holding call at 2:47. Nobody picked it up. Went from the 43 to the 32.

Over 1 hour for the 1st quarter! I cannot imagine that even the most casual fan would consider this performance adequate on ANY level. This is an absolute disgrace in every single aspect of officiating. Complete loss of control, I hope that nobody gets hurt. These scabs have absolutely no clue whatsoever. As for the negotiations & who blinks first...it would certainly seem to me that the real refs have a bargaining chip the size of a man hole cover! I sure hope they get a deal soon, this is very very sad to see such a wonderful game, that we all enjoy, being destroyed!

Where was Neely Dunn on the headset to correct the extra penalty yardage?

Defensive holding is 5 yds...not 11. It's pathetic that it doesn't even seem like a big deal! I'm actually surprised when they enforce the simple fouls correctly!

Even by replacement standards, this grade is a 0. I'm sorry to say this. The crew is doing their best. They are just over matched. They are not ready for NFL officiating and it shows.
