I watched the game to the end...the ugly end.
I thought GB had that intercepted for sure. It cost GB the game, and it felt like the refs just let Seattle have it for the Monday night home win. The fans were cheering and roaring on that last play. There was definitely some lousy play calling, and I have read some complaints about other games officiating as well. I think there is going to be some tension this week about it.

didn't see it...but on sunday they blew the replay rule with the vikes and 49ers. Im thinking the league will strike a deal and get the real refs back soon. This cant go on.

i don't liketo complain about refs, but i do it anyway.
the saints are on blacklist IMO.
i know they got caught red-handed with the bonus for injury issues, but i beleive it's more than that. i beleive the owneers do not want the lowly saints to be the first team to go tot eh superbowl in their own stadium.... they lost 8 points minimum on Sunday to the refs, maybe as much as 18. when they played the redskins opening day? i saw the same thing but it had less direct impact on points. Archie Griffin the third had a great game that day too, so it was not so obvious... the saints have lost to three losing teams? not real...
the saints are NOT playing well, but the refs have been intervening every time they do get rolling. The saints have abeen a very emotional team under Brees and peyton, which is why i have come to like them.
there have been a lotof non-calls on pass interference and bad calls on pass interference and they have almost all gone agianst the saints..
without a coach it was bad enough, but this has been incredible.. the panthers outplayed the saints but he panthers were at home. it takes alot of guts for the refs to come into NOLA and make the calls they have bene making and cause the saints to lose at home...
i predict that when he real refs come back? the saints will do miraculous rebound... but it will be too late for them to make th eplayoffs...

there may end up being a federal case here if the refs have financial issues. i bet people are already turning over every stone to find out too....

Union-Busting GOP Governor Scott Walker Demands Return Of Unionized NFL Referees By Travis Waldron on Sep 25, 2012 at 9:25 am
The National Football League’s decision to lock out its unionized officials at the beginning of this season has had serious consequences, as the incompetence of the replacement referees has jeopardized player safety, led to obvious mistakes, and drawn criticism from fans, the media, coaches, and players. And now, elected officials are getting their jabs in too.
After the Green Bay Packers were robbed of a win by an blown call during Monday Night Football, union-busting Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) — a Packers fan — took to Twitter this morning to demanded the return of the league’s unionized officials:
Walker’s sudden support of union labor is surprising, given his push for a radical union-busting law that effectively ended collective bargaining for many of Wisconsin’s public employees. The law, which Walker and his fellow Republicans pitched as necessary to fix Wisconsin’s budget before admitting that it was the “first step” in an anti-union strategy, was so unpopular that it led to massive protests outside the state capitol in Madison and recall elections against Walker and six Republicans in the state senate.
Multiple Packers players, incidentally, urged Wisconsinites to vote against Walker in the recall. And while Walker decries the scab officials who replaced union labor on the football field, he doesn’t hold himself to the same standard: after his union-busting law went into effect, union workers were replaced with prison labor.
