Can the replacement officials be any worse? Ryan Clark hit

I've been somewhat tolerant of the replacement officials this year. They are thrown to the dogs with a ton of pressure. That being said, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! Are these guys thinking they get paid for every flag they throw?

That monster hit that Clark put on Holmes was absolutely, 100% legal but they call pass interference on Ike. They talk about everything else for an hour each time but they don't even bother to get the call right?

As much as I want to be the asshole that comes in and says they can be worse, I can't do it. After watching terrible calls across the NFL all day long these replacement refs are as bad as it gets.

I mean gd. Get some real people here goodball. They hang around much longer and a real winner is gonna be one pissed off loser.

They are so afraid to miss a call that they are calling every little thing and STILL missing the obvious. There was absolutely no pass interference on that call and in fact, Holmes fumbled the ball after Clark hit him. Brutal all around.

Some calls went the Steelers way too.

That was a terrrrrrrrible call, NO PI on anybody. Glad it didn't cost us the game, or I'd be sick.

They could be worse though. They're not great, they're getting some calls wrong, missing some obvious ones and taking so long to make decisions that they're effectively giving out timeouts every other play. But they're still getting most of the calls right.
