Coincidentally, Hochuli worked the first meeting of each of those matchups. Hochuli can do thursday’s Houston @ Philadelphia matchup. It would be six weeks since he had worked the Phil @ Tenn game.

please not jeff triplette! please!
Let’s hope for Steratore or Carey… probably the two best refs in the NFL for what is one of the most important games of the season.
Scott, Carey is off and Steratore worked a Pitt. game 5 weeks ago.
No, Steratore is very much eligible. At Week 13, it will have been a 7-week span since he worked PIT@MIA.
i wouldn’t mind walt coleman either after he made the absolute correct review of that santonio holmes td in b’more a couple years ago.
If Coleman is refing this game, the Ravens should just forfeit. The way he single-handedly gave the Steelers the AFC-N title in 2008, and turned instant replay into a joke, still represents one of the worst officiating performances in the history of professional sports. Absolutely inexcusable; to this day, no one has ever produced a frame of video or a still photo that shows Holmes breaking the plane of the goal line on that catch. Yet Coleman overturned it, then displayed during the explanation that he didn’t even know the rule.
The NFL should have fired him that day.
http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-videos/09000d5d80d68f82/Official-Review
Um, that just reinforces my point: The league went to incredible lengths to avoid admitting this was a bad call, hiring a graphics firm to *generate* evidence that didn’t exist. And even if the CGI was correct (and there is no way to know), Coleman did not have access to it.
IR is only supposed to overturn a call if there is “irrefutable evidence” that the field call was wrong. That means 50 people watch the replay, 50 people make the same call. Obviously this one didn’t fit either category.
And as someone else pointed out, Coleman is also responsible for the infamous NE/OAK “tuck rule” game.
The league, historically, does not hesitate to admit when a call was bad. This includes Mike Pereira’s segments. Nor do they ever hire anyone to cover up the truth, or to generate fake video. That particular accusation is – no offense – garbage.
As Mike Pereira made clear, that call could reasonably lead to an offseason discussion about what should be considered “irrefutable evidence”. However, here’s the problem: refereeing is incredibly opinionated. I don’t think there is a single controversial call in history that 50 out of 50 people would agree with. And thus your definition is incorrect.
The only thing that matters is what the referee sees. If he sees any reason not to overturn the call, he shouldn’t overturn it. True, Coleman didn’t have access to any equipment to zoom in, nor did he have help of any “graphics firms”. But he still saw the same shots you see in that video, and he concluded – not necessarily incorrectly – that the ball had crossed the goal line.
Clearly, you don’t think it crossed the line, and that’s perfectly fine. But even if it didn’t, had the league fired Coleman over something like this, that would have been an even worse decision.
McAulay who has not done a game in KC since 2002 is also eligible because it would be exactly six weeks since he worked Oakland @ Denver
Here are my predictions for week 13 as well as who I would like to see officiate based on longest time last visited an nfl city
Houston at Phil- TRIPLETTE (1999 last visit)
Carolina at Seattle – COLEMAN ( 2001 last visit)
Pitts at Balt – CAREY ( 2006 last visit ) no snf yet
Chicago at Detroit ANDERSON ( 2005 last visit)
Cleveland at Miami – WINTER
SF at GB – LEAVY ( 2006 last visit)
Oak at SD – BOGER
StL at Ariz – MORELLI
Dallas at Indy – PARRY
NYJ at NE – GREEN (no mnf yet)
Wsh at NYG – STERATORE
Jks at Tenn- RIVERON never worked at Tenn
Buff at Minn – CHEFFERS never worked at Minn
Atlanta at Tampa Bay – CORRENTE (2006 last visit)
Denver at Kansas City – MCAULAY (2002 last visit0
New Or at Cinn – BLAKEMAN
HOCHULI week off
Apparantly Shane didn’t get the memo about not posting predictions and 15 posts about who can work where because that clogs down the comments board.
Quit complaining…If there isn’t a ref next to the game, it means nobody knows yet.
Seriously who cares whether or not people are posting guesses. REALLY have we become that petty Frank. Your getting stressed out and bent out of shape because people are guessing and making predictions. You act as if that is the gospel but it isn’t. It is fun to see how people think and there reasoning. ALSO, if Mickey didn’t like it he would have done something about it and told people to stop. All you do is create more animosity and have everybody hating you because you complain. Here’s an idea if you don’t like it then stop coming to the website. Because clearly you aren’t in the majority and nobody really cares what you think. Either accept it or don’t come back and quit being so LAME.
LOL Ryan
You go Ryan, I agree totally!!!!
Guy’s I can confirm that Scott Green has the MNF game Jets at Patriots. Through a media source.
Thanks Roy — he’s on the list now.
Since Anderson is Coordinator of Officials for the Big 12 – my predicition is that he will work the Thursday night game so he can be in Dallas for the Championship game on Saturday night. He has never had a game conflict in the season’s past.
If I remember correctly, Anderson does not do Texans games. He is from Sugarland, outside of Houston, and unofficially someone close to him once said he wont do Texans regular season games because of his close proximity to to Houston.
Jerome Boger has the Minnesota Vikings game.
Al Riveron in Miami for week 13
Mark and Brad — Thanks, both are updated.
Hochuli is in Detroit on Sunday.
I’m sure that the official in that Ravens/Buccs game will be reprimanded bcause they don’t tolerate that from the officials.
Thanks for the info, Nita.
Dane, I didnot get to see the game but supposedly the official had a few choice words with Taleb, the safety for the Buccs. Taleb was upset about a pass interference call on their rookie and they exchanged some words. It was reported on cbssports.com also. Donot know what official it was.
Nita, It was official #41 Boris Cheek
Dane, Your lucky you didn’t see it !!! Don’t know where to start.
& Week 14 Hochuli is OFF
More likely that Aqib Talib will get into trouble. The league tends to protect their zebras, even when they foul up. Talib’s threat might get him a fine — you just can’t do that.
Boy you are right on the spot. Pretty fast!!!and efficient!
what happend to field judge jimmy buchanan what referees and crews have done good this year what referees and crews have done bad
Not doubting Nita, but I was just listening to the WSCR 670 AM The Score and their reporter announced Ed Hochuli for the Bears/Lions game.
Camps, just wondering what I said wrong that u were doubting me? just curious!!!!
LOL, I didn’t see where you provided a source…but again, I wasn’t doubting you..very good.
nita is 100% right no need to question her, she don’t need to say what’s her source, mickey knows she is very reliable…………got ur back nita
thanks Rich– Nita
JJ Yes I see that Ed Hochuli is OFF on Week 14. I see it on Week 14 messages.
i have read somewhere will work on the source but Careys Crew is the 1 off this week But i read so much I could be wrong
I can confirm you that Mike Carey´s crew is off in week 13.
Joe 83, Thanks, I saw where you posted that last week. I’am down to Triplette, Coleman, or McAULAY. Fingers crossed that it’s McAULAY. Didn’t put Blakeman in there.
Ron Winter For JAX-TEN
http://prod.static.titans.clubs.nfl.com/assets/docs/titansjags2010.pdf
First Game Here Since 2008
Winter is on the list now — thanks!
I was shocked that Boris Cheeks was the official. Thats not like him. Either the officials were really pushed to the limit in that game or Boris is getting burned out like we do in any job!!!! Wonder what punishment he will get.
Gerry
Hochuli will work some prime time games at the end of the season (after week 14) this is confirmed by the BTFS crew.
The only MNF game he could work is Week 16 NO @ ATL.
OFF in Week 14
Cannot do MIN @ CHI (Week 15) because he worked MIN in Week 12.
Of course no MNF Week 17
Don’t forget Thursday nights as well…
That MNF Game in Week 15′s in Minnesota actually
Although now who knows if it will still be there-might have to move it like they did for tonight’s game
who will official the cowboys-colts game?
As soon as we know the referee for any game, it gets posted. Try to be patient.
Eligible refs for the IND @ DAL game are:
Pete Morelli (by process of elimination since no referee can officiate the home team more than once)
In addition, Morelli has yet to officiate a game involving either Indy or Dallas this season, so this could be the one.
Also eligible…
John Parry
Jeff Triplette
Okay, everybody, hopes this gives you a jump on things:
Straight from the Ravens’ staff: McAulay for PIT-BAL and Leavy for BAL-HOU the following Monday night…
Thanks Joe! Those are both updated now.
mcaulay….NOT a fan. oh well, at least its not triplette.
Hi Mickey:
Confirmed – Gene Steratore is in Seattle.
Cool, thanks.
Also confirmed, via Cardinals Flipcard:
Blakeman is in Arizona.
How is it that we are a bit more than 24 hours away from the first game and we don’t know the officials for the Texans/Eagles game?
Happens all the time with at least a couple of the Sunday games.
Hoping it is Triplette since he has not done a game in Philly since 1999
Falcons-Bucs is a 4:15 start
Walt Coleman has Redskins at Giants. Confirmed by Redskins PR Staff. Flip Card will be published soon and I will post.
With that confirmation and IF that rule where no crew can work more than one home game for any team, then Corrente would be in Tampa this Sunday.
I am suprised Steratore is getting a second west coast game in a row because of his duties as a college hoops ref.
Ryan I figured there was no chance of Coleman doing Oakland @ San Diego lol
Gerry yeah I am not sure when he might do an Oakland game again. Time will tell.
I’ll most any crew except Coleman’s, Steratore’s, and Green’s. Wish Tony Corrente, Leavy and Carey would get assigned to more Charger’s games, only referees I really like.
*I’ll TAKE* most any crew…
Seems like Riveron is always doing games in southeast.
Not counting preseason, this will only be Riveron’s third game in a city I would consider southeast, out of 11 games officiated.
Only 2 refs Available for the bucs/falcons is Cheffers and Corrente all the others for the Eleigable list are assigned
Did Todd Archer leave the Dallas Morning News? I dont see any columns from him latley and he usually always posted the referee assignments.
i’ve been looking for them, and he posted last week for Jerome Boger on Thanksgiving (or someone did if it wasnt him)…he jsut hasnt posted this week yet.
He did leave the Dallas Morning News, he’s now a writer following the Cowboys on ESPNDallas.com.
good call. he literally just left, got introduced at espndallas.com yesterday
are we gonna know who is doing tonites game befor it starts or not.
chances are that since it starts in 43m, it’ll be a game time sighting. the TNF games are usually hard to tell until the night of, unless one of the posters on this forum is friends with one of the crew (Nita is friends with someone on Hochuli’s crew i think, so she always informs us of his whereabouts.) =D
yea I’m friends with Hochuli and several others on other crews but I only find out Ed’s games if I got the others it’d take the fun out for you guys.
oh ok got ya ……thanks
James , Riveron worked a game in San Francisco and a game in Denver duriing the second and third week of the season
I still think it is going to be Triplette for tonight’s game
Nope, it’s Walt Anderson. I’m watching it right now.
You would have to think either Triplette or Morelli gets this game; and for the purpose of a guess, I’ll take Triplette.
Walt Anderson for Texans/Eagles.
So it’s down to Carl Cheffers, Tony Corrente, Bill Leavy, Pete Morelli, John Parry and Jeff Triplette.
DEN @ KC – Carl Cheffers
NO @ CIN – Jeff Triplette
SF @ GB – BIll Leavy
OAK @ SD – John Parry
ATL @ TB – Tony Corrente
IND @ DAL – Pete Morelli
Well one taboo of Anderson never working any Texans games is broken…
