Funny part is that the refs now, are basically just as bad as the replacement ones.

Easy to forget how bad the replacements were 10 years later

I think you are massively understating or just forgetting how awful the replacement refs were. As bad as things are now, it was at a whole other level. It was so bad that within a month of the season, the NFL gave them almost literally everything they wanted.

The only thing we haven’t had is a mess like the Fail Mary. Outside of that, I’d argue that the current refs are actually worse than the replacement refs.
