  5. Assuming the TNF ref has not done TNF this year, it will be either Steratore, Boger, or Corrente. Not sure about Corrente as he worked a Thanksgiving game last week though.

  6. It is a good possibility that Principal Morelli will get the ATL@GB Monday night game. He is one of three referees who have yet to be assigned a true MNF game — Anderson and Hochuli are the other two. Mark confirms that Anderson will be officiating NYG@TEN; Anderson would NOT have been eligible for ATL@GB anyway, having officiated NYJ@GB in Week 2. Hochuli recently officiated NE@GB in Week 13, so scratch him off. The NYJ@BUF game in Week 12 officiated by Morelli that was relocated to a Monday night in Detroit does not count as MNF — that game was originally a Sunday afternoon game.

    Additionally, it does not look like Anderson will get a MNF assignment this season — see this post from Week 13: http://www.football-refs.com/2014-crews/week-13/#comment-307278.

  7. Who is eligible for the key Seahawk/Eagle game this week? And if Hochuli is eligible would they even consider him to do a 2nd 4:25 national game that has playoff implications for both teams?

  8. As I enjoy my 51st birthday with a 65-degree day in Baltimore, we can happily report that JOHN PARRY will have control of a BAL game in MIA that should be even warmer. It’s Parry’s first Ravens game since Week Three last year…

  9. Here is the eligibility list for Week 14. If a referee is not listed for a particular game, that referee is NOT eligible.

    DAL@CHI (TNF): Hochuli (confirmed via SportingBecky)
    TB@DET: Allen McAulay Morelli Steratore Triplette; Torbert unknown ***
    PIT@CIN: Boger Coleman Corrente Steratore
    IND@CLE: Blakeman Cheffers Coleman Corrente Steratore Vinovich
    NYG@TEN: Anderson (confirmed via Mark)
    BAL@MIA: Parry (confirmed via Joe Platania)
    NYJ@MIN: Boger Cheffers Coleman Leavy Triplette Vinovich Wrolstad
    CAR@NO: Boger Coleman Corrente McAulay Torbert Triplette; Blakeman doubtful *
    STL@WAS: Allen Blakeman Boger Coleman Leavy McAulay Morelli Wrolstad
    HOU@JAX: Allen Blakeman Cheffers Leavy Morelli Steratore Vinovich
    BUF@DEN: Blakeman Torbert Vinovich Wrolstad
    KC@ARI: Blakeman Cheffers Corrente Morelli Wrolstad
    SF@OAK: Boger McAulay Morelli Torbert Wrolstad; Leavy doubtful **
    SEA@PHI: Allen Coleman McAulay Torbert; Wrolstad unknown ***
    NE@SD **** (SNF): ALLEN Boger Coleman LEAVY MCAULAY Steratore Wrolstad
    ATL@GB (MNF): Morelli (likely but not yet confirmed — see my earlier post)

    * Blakeman officiated the earlier NO@CAR meeting in Week 9.
    ** I’m not sure if Leavy would get assigned this game, as he officiated the MIA@OAK Week 4 game at a neutral site in London. (Anderson worked two Bills’ home games in 2013, one of which was at a neutral site in Toronto.)
    *** It remains to be seen if Wrolstad-Seahawks and/or Torbert-Lions can be added to the list of “referee stayaways,” along with Anderson-Texans, Boger-Falcons and Coleman-Raiders (Tuck Rule game). Wrolstad is from Lake Tapps, WA (near Seattle), while Torbert is from West Bloomfield, MI (near Detroit). Some referees prefer not to officiate games involving their hometown team.
    **** NE@SD: Referees who have yet to be assigned an SNF game are in CAPS.

    • David, is it still possible for an additional referee to work SNF twice this season? I am just curious due to the fact that Bill Vinovich has already worked SNF twice, in weeks 9 and 12.

      • Unfortunately, I have no idea. What I do know is Anderson, Boger and Morelli will be the only referees who have yet to be assigned a Thursday game entering Week 15. Anderson has been assigned CIN@CLE in Week 15, and is NOT eligible for TEN@JAX for Week 16, having already officiated the Titans twice (Week 7 and this week). It looks like Boger will NOT get a TNF game this season. He is NOT eligible for ARI@STL (Week 15) or TEN@JAX, having officiated MIA@JAX in Week 8 and DET@ARI in Week 11. Getting back to SNF, Morelli will either get NE@SD this week of DAL@PHI. He is NOT eligible for SEA@ARI in Week 16, having already officiated the Seahawks twice this season (Week 2 and 10), and the SEA@ARI game is unlikely to be flexed out of SNF.

    • T-Mac never worked a Pats game yet this season…he did not officiate a Pats game last season. The Pats are 8-1 (including the post-season) whenever T-Mac officiates a game involving them! The last time T-Mac officiated a game involving the Pats was vs. Houston (12/10/2012). The last time he officiated a game involving the Pats as the visitors was in Atlanta (10/9/2005). The last time the Pats lost with T-Mac as the referee was in Miami (10/6/2002).

  13. Why on Jeff Triplettes Crew has Alex Kemp at Field Judge and Borris Cheek at Side Judge it was originally Borris Cheek as field judge and Alex Kemp at Side Judge

  14. Why didn’t Daryll Lewis not work last thursday nights game in SF with Tony Corrente and why has net he worked any games lately with Tony Correntes crew and why is any Line judge filling in recently on tony correntes crew?

    • That Chiefs’ flip card lists Greg Gautreaux (from Walt Coleman’s crew) as the field judge, so we can expect Coleman’s crew to be off this week.

  22. The original eligible referees for SEA@PHI were McAulay, Torbert, Wrolstad, Coleman, and Allen. The former three have been confirmed in other games, and Coleman is off. Therefore we can place BRAD ALLEN in the City of Brotherly Love this Sunday.

  23. Here’s what we have so far (Walt Coleman is off this week):

    DAL @ CHI: Ed Hochuli
    TB @ DET: Gene Steratore or Jeff Triplette
    PIT @ CIN: Tony Corrente or Gene Steratore
    IND @ CLE: Bill Vinovich (likely)
    NYG @ TEN: Walt Anderson
    BAL @ MIA: John Parry
    NYJ @ MIN: Jerome Boger
    CAR @ NO: Tony Corrente or Jeff Triplette
    STL @ WSH: Clete Blakeman (likely)
    HOU @ JAX: Carl Cheffers
    BUF @ DEN: Ron Torbert
    KC @ AZ: Craig Wrolstad
    SF @ OAK: Terry McAulay
    SEA @ PHI: Brad Allen
    NE @ SD: Bill Leavy
    ATL @ GB: Pete Morelli (likely)

    • MAJOR CORRECTION: Confirmed from Football Zebras dot com, here’s the REAL list of who will officiate a particular Week 14 NFL game:

      DAL @ CHI: Ed Hochuli
      TB @ DET: Jeff Triplette
      PIT @ CIN: Tony Corrente
      IND @ CLE: Clete Blakeman
      NYG @ TEN: Walt Anderson
      BAL @ MIA: John Parry
      NYJ @ MIN: Jerome Boger
      CAR @ NO: Walt Coleman
      STL @ WSH: Brad Allen

      Gene Steratore is off this week.

      Enjoy the games, everyone!

  24. Wow!!!! Chiefs/Cardinals. Bring back the replacements. They were better. They totally blew the second half, including the possession of the ball by Kelce as he was rolling over after going down. There was no conclusive evidence in the video to overturn that call. You guys suck.

  26. Very bad calls on the Chiefs game 12/7/2014 and the refs should be fined or fired. A game was lost due to very bad calls. And after the replays I wonder what is really going on with the NFL refs to make these bad calls?
