Do you think the subsitute NFL officials are doing a good job? Do you think they are "missing" more calls than the regular NFL officials would, or do you think everyone is just watching them closer?

Not any crappier then the normal officials.

Although there was a pretty big mess up in the Seattle game with them not taking a timeout away when they should have.

In my opinion the regular officials are far too arrogant and too often make themselves the determining factor in the outcome of games. I agree with Emerson1 that i have not seen anymore missed calls or bad calls than we see with the regulars. I do however think they might be a little too quick to start watching certain things more closely. The Cowboys game for instance is a perfect example. They called several holding penalites on the O-line for Dallas and I think they all started watching the Dallas O-line far, far too closely which led to more penalties being called on very, very marginal holds. I saw way worse holds on the Giant O-linemen that didn't get called. They seemed to get into a pattern of calling things against Dallas and not calling the same thing against New York................... Or maybe it just seemed that way to me!
