They aren't ruling out the regular refs for the Thursday night game either. Excuse my language here, but the only word that can describe the situation the NFL is with the lack of fan support and the replacement ref's messing up is a clusterfuck.
If it wasn't for the overwhelming fan dejection they may not be this close in the negotiations, and this is true. But another truth is they don't want to fold and pander to the refs because the fans public outcry either. If they did, the next time the players hold out, or the NFLPA is on strike they would have no leverage if the fans are behind the other side. And make no mistake that what ever grieving party would use public opinion for them.
As I feel right now, the deal is 100% done. I think the refs seen the issues escalate and came down some too to help facilitate the transaction. It's just being held back till the public "rioting" dies down some.

According to ESPN, there is a deal in place and the refs are expected to be back by Sunday for sure and will be ready for Thursday if the deal is done today.

Refs should be on Sunday for sure. If not it is panic time. I doubt they are there by Thursday. They would have to get it done in the next few hours.

Oh, God! I hope they will come back no later than Sunday. One more weekend of botched calls and things will begin to implode.

I have mixed feelings about this. Questionable officiating at least gives the Rams some hope.
