    It appears the officials need a class on what is legal and what isn’t. You CAN NOT push, pull, or drag your team-mate. Jacksonville did exactly that to get the running back into the end zone. Official was looking right at it.
    There is no way that the Jacksonville right tackle held the Colts rusher.
    The officials this year are terrible. The need to be retrained for they have not a clue.

    Colts quarterback gets piled after he slid, and no penalty. Not even officiating.
    These officials are a JOKE.

    Colts running back was in fro the touchdown.
    There is no excuse for the officials to miss that one (looking right down the line).
    Football officials need to be investigated for game fixing. They are missing way too many calls this year.

    Jacksonville offensive lineman had illegal hands to the face against Colts rusher.

    I’ve never been a fan of Walt Anderson, yet he is another guy that always works big games.

    I thought Walt Anderson’s crew does a great job. They did fantastic work on Thursday Night – WK #16! Love Butch Hannah as a U.

    By the way———–> I am going to the Ravens VS Cowboys Game!!!!!

    YES!!!!!!!!!

    A quick Question?

    NFL85.com -> Ed Hochuli site will not come up for me. It reads 404 error.

    Does anyone else have this problem & cannot access NFL85.com?

    Tex, the site isn’t coming up for me either. I wonder if they pulled the plug on it.

    Hi KMG,

    Not sure — all those photos, videos & articles all lost. Ohhhh nooooo. 🙁

    I hope NFL85.com comes back up.

    How are playoff officiating crews determined? I know it is based off each crews’ performance during the season. However, does each crew get only one playoff game? Or do the better do games each week? In my opinion, I think Jerome Boger is the favorite to get the Super Bowl. His officiating is the best I’ve seen this year, without a doubt.

    The officials for the Giants and Panthers are terrible. It could be officiated better with Seeing Eye dogs.

  13. Glen says

    December 21, 2008 at 9:33 pm

    The officials missed the easiest pass interference in history. If the official was any closer he would have smelled his breath. Panther defender pulled left arm of Giants receiver. Again, the need to check for illegal actions by the officials (gambling).
    If they are not cheating, then they just do not know what they are doing.

    Greg,
    I agree with you when you say that Boger should be in consideration for the Super Bowl, however, the NFL has a policy which states that in order for someone to officiate the Super Bowl, they have to be at their position for 5 years. This is only Boger’s 3rd season as a referee, so that would make him ineligible for the Super Bowl. Also, a person cannot officiate the Super Bowl in 2 consecutive years, so that also makes Mike Carey ineligible.
    Here is a list of officials who are ineligible for the Super Bowl: Boger, Carey, Cheffers, Green, Parry, Riveron, and Steratore.
    I have a feeling that either McAulay, Triplette, Morelli, or Carollo will get the Super Bowl this year.
