        It is not against the rules for a crew to be assigned two home games for one team in a particular season, but the NFL tries to minimize the occurrences

    Fellow ref fans, I must commend you on spotting the fake Joey P, because the real one is here. The BAL-HOU game will be helmed by WALT COLEMAN, who had the Ravens’ home game with Tennessee in Wk 10, so there’s your six-week rule, right on the nose… by the way, I must also commend the fraud, for he knows of my affinity for English Premier League soccer. Mark Clattenburg is a referee in thta league. Plus, you all no doubt noticed the link under my name was not underlined, a sure sign of a fraud…

        Craig, good catch on your part. It HAS been a while since McAulay did a Ravens game. Since he used to work HS games in Howard County, I’m guessing that’s one reason. But then again, this team has gone without Hochuli and others for long stretches. Just the vagaries of the schedule, I guess.

    I will predict that Ed Hochuli will have the Monday Night game DEN @ CIN. He is the only ref other than Walt Anderson who has not done MNF, and Anderson is not eligible. Also, Hochuli has not done a Denver or Cincinnati game all season.

    The referee for the DEN@CIN Monday night game will be someone who has already worked on MNF. However, the following referees can be **RULED OUT**, due to either the five-week rule or the “two-referee-per-team” rule: Corrente, Leavy, McAulay, Triplette, Wrolstad. Coupled with the aforementioned confirmations and the possibility that Boger might be off (due to one of his crew members filling in on Allen’s crew), DEN@CIN has been narrowed down to the following referees: Morelli, Parry, Steratore or Vinovich. Morelli would be considered a longshot, since he officiated ATL@GB a couple of weeks ago.

      Correct me if I am wrong, but it appears, as of this post, that we do not yet have a definitive answer as to who will be in Chicago? Is that correct?

      I’ve always been a huge Bears fan, but don’t really flaunt that on here, somewhat due to the embarrassment of their dysfunction, my cover would be blown if my Anderson source got on here and saw my Bears posts, and I try not to be an annoyance by cluttering this feed and asking what the assignment is each week. I’m just excited to see what Jimmy Clausen can do, if anything. Lol sorry. Thanks guys. Besides Miyaishi, Lorenzo Antonio, and Loro Swag, and a few others…the rest of you (particularly Mickey, Ben, Joe, Cam, Becky, and David) all are great for keeping this up and running. Rant over. Thank you.

      LJ Carl Johnson (Morelli crew) has been assigned to this game. Keep an eye out for a possibility that Morelli is off. It is probably either he or Boger who won’t be working this weekend.

        I have to think it is Boger who is off. Morelli has already been off twice and Boger is one of three crews who has only been off once.

    I’m going with the assumption that Boger is off this week. Of all the refs that have not been confirmed to a game, Vinovich is the only other referee who has only had one bye at this point. The rest have had two. So here are the possibilities for the remainder of the games, as of this post:

    SD @ SF: Parry, Vinovich, Morelli, or Triplette
    DET @ CHI: Parry, Steratore, McAulay, or Triplette
    ATL @ NO: Parry, Vinovich, Steratore, Triplette, or Corrente
    MIN @ MIA: Steratore, McAulay, Triplette, or Corrente
    GB @ TB: Parry, Vinovich, Steratore, McAulay, or Corrente
    NYG @ STL: Parry, McAulay, Morelli, or Corrente
    DEN @ CIN: Parry, Vinovich, Steratore, or Morelli
