I didn’t really see much of a difference with the replacements. I think they were just under more scrutiny. Pundits calling the Seahawks touchdown the worst call in history haven’t been watching football for very long.
I totally agree with you. People are particularly screwming about one horrible call. The ‘regular’ refs are positively horrible every Sunday as well! They are horrible! And everyone is glad they’re back. Ugh. Not me.
