    somewhat thought out guesses that may have errors to them;

    MIA@NYJ – CONFIRMED Walt Anderson
    NE@STL – CONFIRMED Walt Coleman

    TB@MIN – Pete Morelli
    SD@Cle – Terry McAulay
    Ind@Tenn – Jerome Boger
    Atl@Phil – Ed Hochuli
    Car@Chi – Clete Blakeman
    Sea@Det – Ron Winter
    Jax@GB – Alberto Riveron
    Was@Pitt – John Parry
    Oak@KC – Carl Cheffers
    NYG@Dal – Gene Steratore
    NO@Den – Mike Carey
    SF@AZ – Bill Vinovich (with the Leavy crew)

    BYES: Green, Triplette, Corrente.

    I did this based on the prime time going to crews who haven’t been in PT yet, as well as the crews who have been off already, not getting off…

      are these guesses?
      if not, then does what crew does Vinovich have because McAulay’s is not eligible for OAK-KC and the other 3 crews haven’t had a bye week at all…

    I can actually confirm. And Vinovich has Triplette’s crew.

    Terry McAulay is off and Jerome Boger is headed for the Dawg Pound.

    Hi Preth,

    New to the site. Love getting the scoop on who will be refereeing games for the week. My question is if there is an alternate referee that travels to London for the game as well?

      Hi Greg – welcome.

      Regular season games rarely have alternates, and that includes this year’s game in London.

          Replacement officials and highly unusual circumstances (such as Tony Corrente’s cancer situation last season). Yep, that pretty much covers it.

    Interesting that the three crews that have not had byes (those of Green, Triplette, and Morelli) have all had Vinovich as R for one of their games. All white hats have now had one week off (and McAulay two).

    Is Macaulay getting bad reviews to be having a second off week already? Always thought he was pretty good.

    • Preth says

      October 25, 2012 at 1:08 pm

      No. It probably has something to do with the addition of Vinovich into the rotation, as bfurze observed above.

      Lars, I’m interested to know your thutghos on solid cut part verification in Mastercam X3 for verifying multiple parts on a tombstone.I’d also like to know how you go about adding new hot jobs into the exiting mix of your tombstone parts and what you have setup in SolidWorks and Mastercam to facilitate making this easier.

    For what its worth, here are my calculations about the number of weeks each crew has off this year. (We will ignore Bill Vinovich.)

    In a normal season, there are 256 games. There are 17 officiating crews, and if each is assigned 15 games and two bye weeks, 255 games are covered. This means that one crew has only one bye week.

    This season, because replacement officials worked the first three weeks (48 games), there are 208 games to be covered by the regular officials. If each of the 17 crews officiates 12 games, this will cover 204 games. Therefore, four crews will do a 13th game and have only one bye week.

      In case anyone was wondering, I can confirm that Walt Anderson will NOT be one of those four crews with one bye week. He was off week 6, and will be off again week 10.

      The weeks off for the crews includes the preseason games and some crews have three or four games off every season. I belive the off week games for this year was programmed before the preseason games and i think, not confirmed, the NFLRA are programming as if there’s not be blockout for seven weeks.

    Thanks for the update. In the years that I have kept track of this, no crew has had four weeks off. All crews but one have two weeks off during the regular season, and four crews (one each week) have a week off during the preseason. The Hall of Fame Game has been officiated by an all-star crew in recent years.
