Very interesting. Maybe that’s why Triplette worked a Carolina game this year. I believe it was his first Panthers game since something like 2001.

The opening game to which Cheffers was assigned was San Diego at Oakland, so he has only done one Broncos game.

I would have to say that the officials were pretty upset in regards to the wya the Ravens complained about last week’s officiating. Word gets around from crew to crew in all sports regarding complainers.

Regarding the Cincinnati vs Baltimore officiating.

Was it me or were some of those calls made on 2 4th downs to allow Cincinnati to fulfill’s its promise to Coach Zimmer kinda fishy?

If anything ask yourself a question, would most other crews make those same calls at those specific times in the game?

Also is it perhaps that Baltimore being more critical and voiciferous about the missed/disputed calls of NFL referrees that
makes their team more a target to what otherwise might be non-calls for other teams?

By the way, Mike Carey lives in San Diego and Jeff Triplette lives in Charlotte, NC.

Tex is generally correct. However, referees that live in the west will be assigned more games there than those who live in the east and vice versa. For example, last year Mike Carey did games in San Francisco, Seattle, Oakland, San Diego, and Arizona, while Jeff Triplette only went to the west coast once, to Seattle. In the long run over the years, all referees go to all locations, but they don’t go cross-country as often.
