Replacement Referees

The 'replacement referees' have been a topic discussion through out the entire NFL season, including the pre-season.  What baffles me is that the NFL has preached player safety and representing the NFL with words like integrity and pride.  Should we as fans not turn those words back on the NFL. Is the integrity of the game being maintained with these replacement referees? No.  Can the NFL have pride in the product in which they are providing fans who shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars? No.  I believe the NFL needs to have an agreement in place before Sundays games begin.  Not only are games dragging out longing than a Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees game; but the outcome of games are in the hands of D-3 referees.  In my opinion, this problem is a lack of respect for the fans and those that put their livelihood at stake each day to play a violent game.  If something horrendous occurs on the field with the replacement referees the NFL will have a lot of explaining to do.
