Are these guys officiating for the love of the game or something else? Are we being asked to think that the league is truly attempting to 'railroad' them? The games WILL go on with or without them, that has already been proven. The officials working the games will only get better. It now boils down to whether the Big Boys want to continue to be a part of it or not.

They are also asking them to be full time, which means that if they have jobs already, they probably cannot work those jobs or businesses anymore. Then if they are to be fired on a whim, then they are a$$ out.

Yes the games will go on and they have, but they are one bad call away from a lot more complaining than there already has been. It is one thing if the next in line took the jobs, it is another that many were not even college level officials.

I think the use of the replacements will help the regulars in their negotiations barring a major improvement in the job thats being done by the current replacements.

If the NFL is not satisfied with the replacements performance, the regulars should be able to name their price. If they are satisfied...well the regulars will need to offer up something fast that they can stomach,take things to court, or look into other means of employment.
