Substitute NFL refs

With the normal referee crews locked out, how do you guys think the subs are doing?

There seem to have been a few missed calls, and putting the ball on the 1yd line on the stuffed 3rd-and-goal is clearly wrong (it should be on about the 6 inch line).

I'm inclined to say they kinda suck.

And then they miss a clearly obvious play where Luck didn't make it in, and was then plastered anyway after he started sliding.

It's almost like they knew they screwed up the first call (putting it almost 3 feet farther back than they should), and so gave the Colts a freebie.

They're replacement refs, not real NFL refs who have been doing this for 30 years. I kills me that the broadcasters are just abusing these guys. Give them a break IMO

I think they're doing about as good as they can.

I don't disagree about them doing the best job they can...

My point is that they shouldn't be there in the first place. The NFL makes such a huge amount of money, for them to not adequately pay the referees is laughable.
