    How much could the referees want that the NFL would ruin the game this way?

    Just spoke to the NFL commissioner. He said if I can save them money the Super Bowl can be played at my house.

    Oh my God. I just realized I know the ref that made the call tonight. He's my accountant.

    You know what would be funny? If the Olympic refs went on strike and someone from real estate had to judge diving.

    Any player/coach in Seattle that really thinks they won that game has zero integrity as a man and should be embarrassed.

    Until the regular referees come back they should just decide the game based on the opening coin flip.

    I love this league and love the game of football, but tonight’s debacle hurts me greatly. This is NOT the league we’re supposed to represent

    U can't even be truly happy as a player to win in such a cheating fashion. Sum funky wins u take but this ain't them kind. Pay the real refs

    Replacement refs losing control again. Two DBs just started a campfire on 40 yard line. RB is selling counterfeit Aerosmith shirts.

    The owners and Roger Goodelll should be ashamed of the mockery the #NFL is becoming. Greedy shame. Bring back the refs #MondayNightFootball

    It's official. The #NFL is now a joke. Way to ruin a great brand, owners. Way to screw the fans and players Goodelll. #ScabIncompetentRefs

    I hope the real refs use this debacle to turn the screws on the league. Don't fold guys!! Stick it to em. #NFL

    Obviously, freedom of speech is not honored in the #NFL. The coaches are clearly muzzled in post game press conference.

    Now, Aaron Rodgers unable to speak his mind as well. It's gross.
