Lance Easley is the side judge who ruled a “simultaneous catch” between Seattle receiver Golden Tate and Packers safety M.D. Jennings, who appeared to have possession of the ball when both players hit the ground. Another official initially ruled the play as an interception and touchback.

Both officials missed Tate shoving a defender out of the way as the pass came toward them, which should have resulted in a penalty for offensive pass interference.

The NFL requires its permanent officials to have at least 10 years' experience, including at least five in major-college football. Easley, the least experienced of the Monday night crew, had four years of experience, none above Division III.

In fact, last summer Easley was deemed not ready to officiate at the Division I level, according to Karl Richins, who made the determination along with his staff at the Stars and Stripes Academy for Football Officials in Salt Lake City.

You can't be serious. The only reason why these officials don't have the experience to referee NFL games is because the only officials that can possibly get that experience are the ones who are in the union.

Somehow the fact that unions exclude others from getting the experience needed to be able to perform the job proves that unions provide a better product and because the replacement officials are "scabs" they are bad? That is really comical.

The NFL officials are graded every week. They are the best of the best. When you use Union employees, you are getting the best bang for your buck. We are accountable. Next thing you're gonna tell me is that you would rather have some cheap Chinese knock off than a nice Union made in America product that you know is quality work. If your head was any further up yorass it would be choking you.
