I do think there was a bit of a double standard regarding the replacement officials. Everything they did wrong, they were crucified. In the games yesterday, the mistakes (real or perceived) of the "original" refs were pointed out and let go.
I do think there was a big difference in adminstration of a game, but the calls, at least from what I saw yesterday weren't much different.
Don't get me wrong, NOT critizing, just saying the reporting was different.
