NFL replacement refs....a genius idea by Goodell??

Last night I found myself wondering if this was all some weird genius marketing gimmick by the NFL. Now I normally don't watch NFL games outside of my team (Saints), but as this replacement ref debacle continues I can't help but watch some of these other games all the while wondering how/when the replacement refs will screw up again.
Are you guys finding that you're watching more football to see what they screw up?

part of me thinks that goodell DGAF about this dibacle because it's making for great print/radio coverage of his product

So how will it affect that game when the full time refs do finally hit the field?
The coaches and players have gotten use to the shitty calls and being able to run over the refs.
Will they have a new learning curve? Meaning the players and coaches...

The coaches and players aren't dogs. It's not like they have a new master to get used to.
Assuming it happens sometime this season, they will just revert back to the way it was before this season. The way it's always been.

Yes, I ended up watching the Bengals-Redskins and Cowboys-Bucs Sunday because the Saints game wasn't on in my area. I then proceeded to watch the Sunday night game as well as MNF. I couldn't turn it off last night, it was pure entertainment.

This. Goodell has screwed up the perfect game. At least we still have college.

I do feel like the NFL is becoming what Vince wanted the XFL to be, less sport and more entertainment. Maybe MNF should bring in Jim Ross (is he still alive?) or Jerry Lawler (is he still alive?)

That'd be funny if the almighty loss in the GB game is the game that turns the NFL around to the professional refs.
After all the crappy calls...this is the one.

the NFL already has the viewership it needs. It cares about its brand.
The owners are too rich and too prominent in the public to want to be associated with this kind of scandal. This isn't what they wanted
That wasn't even the worst call of the year IMO, it just happened on the last play of the game. I'm biased, but I have more of a problem with the refs OVERTURNING WITH INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE the correct call on the field (PT touchdown against the Chiefs)
