Vic, from the small amount of betting I do, I can't even comprehend how frustrating the NFL must be right now. We all know MNF can make or break a weekend of action.

What I've found most frustrating about the replacement refs is the amount of time they are spending huddling, reviewing, and trying to keep control of the game.

Regarding the penalty calling, I've gotten the impression that the players are familiar with the real refs' tendencies regarding certain penalties and will prepare for a game knowing who is reffing it. Now it's a crapshoot as to what is getting called because the players don't know the refs. This is no different than MLB pitchers knowing the strike zone tendencies of the umpires.
