NFL & NFLRA close on deal

The next thing will be to see if the new "official" officials will be held to the same level of scrutiny the replacement officials have been. In my opinion, every week they should list each game where a call was missed by the "pros". It would seem only fair, seeing as how no one can do it better.

That's not an endorsement of the replacements, but rather having them be the center of all things football for a while and each week a story is heard by someone who use to be an "official" official on how poorly the replacements are doing.

We'll always have issues with judgement calls but my guess is the regular officials will apply the rules correctly. This is an area where the scabs struggled mightily . They had a lot of issues with 10s runoffs, 3 timeouts per half, when challenges are accepted (like only when you have a TO remaining) , etc

Exactly. Good to see something positive come out of the Monday night debacle.

Well they have agreed to mentor some officials that are not members of the NFLRA who eventually will become members they won't run games they will just learn.

As for the officials being held accountable for blown calls which the NFL wanted that was one of the main sticking points along with money and from what I've read that's been dropped to allow everything to progress
