There's no question that reffing is always bad. It always gets worse every year. Fans get that, we bitch and moan and go on about things.
This year in the NFL, the league has locked out the refs, and brought in small college replacements. There's no question these folks are trying really hard to do the job, and do it right. Tonight's Seattle vs Green Bay game ended with a bizarre call, and there were some really egregious calls and non-calls. I saw someone on twitter say "It's just a game, get over it."
