Yes, yes, yes. It's been a thrilling ride.

But now that we're going back to normal Mut 23 coins? What have we learned from all this?

Everything you need to know about the closing of replacement refs

1. Officials aren't able to officiate. Nothing makes you appreciate old officials as much as watching officials call 200 pass interference penalties in the course of a game and yet leaving out one or two important penalty that affects the entire game. God that the replacements weren't good. The kind of cartoon bad. This is a perpetual blooper reel. It's hard to believe that it was a clever game played by Roger Goodell. To see what happens if America was going to blink. And we did not! We did, at least after Week 1. But then ...

2. Madden NFL 23 teams are uncompromising. The refs became more ruthless as the season progressed. It was truly amazing. When everyone in Madden NFL 23 realized these guys didn't know exactly what they were up to, coaches and players began to harass them after every play, something we ought to have anticipated right from the start. The replacements snapped pretty quick because they're human. Madden NFL 23 coaches and coaches are a nightmare. So, intimidating a bunch of terrified officials became an integral part of the game. It was to the point where in close games, whichever team had the ball at the end would undoubtedly be victorious on a sloppy penalty due to the fact that by then the refs had been emotionalally beaten. This isn't the fault of the substitutes ...

3. Regular officials are remarkable. I don't blame the ref in Seattle Monday. If you were in the final stretch, surrounded by 70 000 Seattle supporters in complete awe looking at a horde of bodies and seeing a Seahawk who appeared to was holding the ball... Wouldn't you panic and call it a touchdown? I would. The majority of people would. Although the Madden NFL 23's officials might be pretty incompetent individual capacities, they are worthy of credit for being a thousand times better than the replacements, and also, ignoring the IMDen NFL 23uence that is a plethora of Madden NFL 23 the fans players, coaches, and players and players who are batshit crazy at all times.

4. We're in need of higher football goal lines. Right?

What's the risk?

5. Roger Goodell is awful. Seriously. First of all, as Bobby Big Wheel pointed out Tuesday, it's baffling that he wasn't able to secure more competent replacement officials a long time ago. Even if many college refs were not willing to split ranks, Madden NFL 23 could have been more proactive in finding good replacements during this procedure. Second, a lot of people have blamed the lockout on owners their greed. BULLSHIT. Owners are owners due to their greed which is why Madden NFL 23 owners are notorious for fighting unions at every turn. The Commissioner could work for them, but a significant part of his job is to balance their requirements and those of Madden NFL 23. Goodell completely ignores the single greatest challenge for any Commissioner and we're supposed to pretend it's not the Commissioner's fault? If owners were pro-sports owners, there would be lockouts across the all leagues for every five years. What makes a great commissioner is the ability to satisfy their excessive desire to be greedy and protect the game at the same.

6. Steve Young is full of real talk. Yep:

Let's hope everyone remembers this is all still true of the Madden NFL 23 regardless of normal referees cheap madden nfl 23 coins.

7. America is addicted to football.
