I'm not mad at the replacement refs, I'm mad at the situation which has been created by the NFL and the Referee Union. The scab refs are just doing a job that they're underqualified for.

I agree. I'm not mad at the refs. I'm mad at the situation. These guys are doing the best they can but its obvious they are in WAY over their heads. Not their fault. And I do feel sorry for them because of the embarrassment they must feel.

I think undertrained rather than under qualified. They've been through less formal training than I went through to officiate little league playoffs.

Could be both, though. They didn't really have time to "weed out any non-hackers from [their] beloved corps"
