This is a different situation obviously,but didn't the NFL take a pause in their schedule for 9/11 back in 2001? Maybe the NFL should just take a week off to get the regular refs up to speed with "uniform fittings" & what not,& then just start again the next weekend(& Thursday) with games. The fans will understand if it means getting the regular refs back.

Unnecessary, and totally, and utterly, impossible.

Yes,no sooner did i post that & I realized how much of a headache it would be,especially on Thanksgiving weekend.

I bet what really got the owners & refs talking was when the players threatened to go on strike AND we all remember how well "replacement players" went with the fans.

Except they can't go on strike - it is illegal per the CBA and the players aren't going to give up paychecks to strike when they wouldn't give them up to continue their lockout.

How about "Plan B" that Green Bay Packers' TJ Lang came up with,taking a knee on every play? They might not be able to strike,but they can always do a "work slow down."

Right after the first questionable call you will have people begging the replacement refs to come back. Probably be a sign or two in the stadium even.

I'm sorry, but that's one of the most asinine posts I've ever read here....

I can't believe they are making a big deal out of the Pats being under .500 ...

I could see if they were under .500 after 10 games of so, but they've only played 3 games, being under .500 at this point is NOT a big deal.

Agreement reached is what they just said on News 4 NY ... they were quoting PFT.

If they lose at Buffalo and fall two games under .500- too soon to panic?

Yes.....if are have 5 losses BEFORE the 10 game, THEN you can panic.

no. time to panic a little bit when you consider what team it is and the expectations coming into this season.

SI's Peter King said this morning that after what transpired Monday night, "there was absolutely no way the NFL was going to send replacement officials into Green Bay this weekend"...
