I find it pretty amusing how the people who lambasted the replacements for their incompetence, lack of knowledge of the rules, etc, etc, are giving the regular refs a complete free pass on all their gaffes.
Last night, AZ had the ball 2nd and 10 on their own 20 and Kolb was sacked back to the 14, but there was roughing the passer. The correct call is to mark it off 15 yards from the previous spot, giving AZ the ball on the 35, but what the refs actually did was mark it 15 yards from the dead ball spot, giving them the ball at the 29.
The entire football world threw conniptions when a replacement ref made that sort of mistake but when a regular ref did the same, nobody cared or even noticed - except me.
