I think that todays proceedings have made two things thing clear:

a.) the replacement refs are in way over their heads
b.) there is not end in sight between league owners a old refs.

The real refs would have to cave for the NFL to return to normal. Im not sure the likelihood of that happening, but the league owners will not budge, that seems clear.

Players (aaron rodgers) and former players (steve young) are becoming increasingly outspoken about the situation. I actually feel bad for the coaches because this has got to be driving them crazy. I dont see the situation with replacement officials improving but possibly getting worse.

There have been other pro leagues, USFL, the xfl (lol), which leads me to the question, could we possibly see a schism in the nfl with players and coaches leaving to join a new league with more in control officiating? its clear that these games are getting totally out of control. unless the old refs cave in negotiations, i dont see any other options.

Yeah, and the 2005 Seahawks will be the first team to leave.

They'll go to that awesome other billion dollar league where bad officiating never happens.
