    Per Profootballweekly.com – no changes to the Week 12 schedule, the PIT/KC game will remain as the SNF game.

    I’m not sure what game popeye was watching but the redskins/cowboys was a very good officiated game. I wanted the redskins to win but I think the Hochuli crew again showed what class and intelligence they have on the football field.

    Nita, I believe Ed Hochuli and Carey are at the top of their games, however, flags were being thrown 3 to 5 seconds after the play was over. Ed wasn’t the one doing it, but it reflects on him. Maybe he needs to tightening up his crew.

    Carey did a Thanksgiving Day game last year – I would suspect the NFL wouldn’t make him have 2 Turkey Day games in a row.

    This may sound like a silly question but who, if anyone, on this site has ever officiated a football game on any level? What about on the NCAA level? Who has ever studied the rule book or taken a mechanics test? Just wondering.

      i’ve reffed basketball, football and soccer, albeit for a little amount of time, as I am only 20 years old. I can’t speak for anyone else, but when I say something about a particular referee, I am referencing the entire crew (except in the case of, say, Cheffers, who is god awful on the mic)

      i think everyone is in agreement that these men are the top 17 (18 for a few positions) at what they do, it’s just apparent that some are better than others (i.e. Steratore’s and Blakeman’s are better than Triplette’s and Cheffers’)

        Well you are off to a start. On what level have you officiated? It will be interesting to see if you have the same opinions 5 or 10 years from now. In any grouping, there are always going to be some that are better than others but in the NFL the spread is really very minimal except for one or two and they are not the ones that you mention. That is why certain Referees end up with stronger or weaker crews. There is always 1-2 rules experts on every crew and it is not always the guy in the white hat. It will be interesting to see the play-off assignments.

    MEH – I am just trying to understand the basis for someone’s statement that “so and so is at the top of his game” or that “I don’t trust this Referee” unless they have ever been out on the field themselves. An officiating crew is not just the Referee. He is only sets the tone and makes the announcements in most cases. There are 6 other guys out there (and 2 in the Replay booth) and in some cases good Referees have poorer crews and vice-versa. I am glad that you have some experience and took the time to respond. I find it interesting that others have not.

          No, it’s not a first. Bill Leavy missed a game between BUF-MIA a few years back due to illness, so as the only referee off that week, Bill Carollo took his place. It was the second straight week that Carollo worked a Bills game.

          I do not think there are any limits as to how long it can be until Triplette works another SD game – however, he has already worked two Chargers games this season, so he cannot work another until next season.

    Art Rossi, I would really like to have the opportunity to talk with you about the “ins & outs” of officiating as you seem to know your stuff.

    I started way back in 1969 & also officiated baseball & basketball in addition to football but did more football. Back in those days, we would work as a two man crew in some games – 3 man crew in others & then either a 4 man or 5 man crew for the high school games. I actually worked two games in my football career (one 8th grade & the other a 10 & 11 year old game) by myself. I would love to see some of these writers & announcers do that & then see what they have to say about the officials.

    If you would like to continue our conversation, my email address is: oldrefs15@yahoo.com

      Boger – officiated both teams and a Monday

      Riveron – Monday game in week 8

        Honestly, I’d say it’s about 35% Steratore, 35% Riveron, 30% Boger. Working a previous team assignment and primetime are both pretty unreliable indicators. Also, Steratore’s chances are harmed as well, as he’s worked two very recent Sunday primetime games.

    So can anyone tell me why Scott Green’s crew has been led by different officials the past 2 weeks?

      We don’t know. Most likely, he’s injured. That’s according to a post by Zebra Blog earlier today. (I don’t suggest visiting their site – there are multiple recent reports of viruses.)

        Yeah, I spent a half a day and a couple of messages to tech support to clear that up. What a mess! Thanks for the mention.

        A source with the league informed me that Scott Green is, in fact, injured. Does anyone recall anything out of the ordinary in Week 10 (BAL @ SEA), when Green last officiated?

    Question going back to last Monday nights game with the Giants and Eagles. Was this play ruled correctly by offsetting the penalties. The long completed pass to Jackson steps out of bounds and tosses ball at D Coordinator at the snap Illegal hands to the face by defense. Shouldn’t both penalties have been accessed one was live and the other was dead? Please help it’s still bugging me…lol
    I had a Hopper book but I’m very pissed that I can’t find it.
