We’ve already posted a few of the officials for week 6, so it’s time to start talking. Let us know about the officials for the other games, and also use this thread to discuss any noteworthy calls during the games.
Anyone know which crew is doing the Saints/Raiders game, also the Packers/Seahawks one too?
Harry — We haven’t heard yet, but that info will probably start coming in shortly. When it does, we’ll post it on our week 6 info page. If you find out before us, please post in here again and let us know.
Terry McAulay is the referee for the Oakland-New Orleans game.
Jeff Triplette is in charge of the Seahawks/Packers game according to the Packers’ official website.
Are there any other sources for officials apart form this website (which has been very helpful, thank you!)?
Thanks for the info.
Other sites that are useful for this information include NFL85.com (Ed Hochuli only) and Behind the Football Stripes, a message board for this kind of stuff.
The Vikings and Lions officials are the worst officials in the NFL. They called a straight bullshit game. I do not watch football because of a ref. But when you rob a team that is ridiculous. All you over paid officials should be fired. Pass that on to the Lions and Vikings officials
Wow, what a HORRIBLE call in the Cowboys-Cardinals game. They ruled Tony Romo was down (and therefore didn’t fumble), but it wasn’t even close — he was still almost standing up when it came out.
But, the whistle and blown and the Cardinals got hosed. Ouch.
Figures. Morelli’s officiating (2006 Colts playoff game, anyone?). The man is incapable of competently monitoring a high school, much less making these types of decisions.
Hello,
I wish to back up the coments made by Frank. The Lions-Vikings game officiating was a JOKE!!! With just over 2 min. to go, a member of the Lions defensive secondary was flagged for “Pass Interferance”. But on replay, it was CLEARLY NOT pass interference!!!
This WAS NOT the only “Questionable call” in this game!!! Funny part is…they conveniently went against the Lions. Come on Refs…the ARE bad enough(although they played inspired today) to get their little hinnies kick all on their lonesome. They need NO HELP!!! Trust me…I’m a season ticket holder to Ford Field and the Lions.
Here are the names of the (SO-CALLED) Refs in today’s game:
Tony Corrente•Referee: 99 – Tony Corrente
•Umpire: 29 – Steve Wilson
•Head Linesman: 120 – John McGrath
•Line Judge: 7 – Ron Blum
•Field Judge: 89 – Craig Wrolstad
•Side Judge: Dyrol Prioleau
•Back Judge: 126 – Don Carey
Tony Corrente is an American football official in the National Football League (NFL) since 1995. He wears the uniform number 99.
Something needs to be done about this!!! I know the Lions won’t be awarded the win but, come on, last time I checked…this WAS NOT THE NBA!!!
if anyone was watching the arizona vs. dallas game, after az ran the kick off for a td, the refs totally blew two fumble calls before the half. then just to rip off az more they called two defensive offsides in three plays to force OT. Must have been a good pay out by the mafia.
The referee for the Philadelphia-San Francisco game was Ron Winter.
The referee for the New England-San Diego game is Bill Leavy.
How many offensive fouls can the chargers commit before the officials will call one? I saw two pass interference penalties and one holding that wasn’t called in the first half.
Glen: Give me a break — a Patriot-fan talking about somebody else getting away with something????
From the Holy Roller to Ed Hochuli — and now Sunday night’s mystery incompletion in the New England vs. San Diego game? If anyone’s got a gripe with NFL officiating — the Chargers are the poster-child for being on the wrong-end of bad calls.
After further review, Jammer had possession and the ground caused the fumble! San Diego gets hosed again by the referees…
And may I add, that It was with great pleasure watching Ellis “Toast” Hobbs getting burned during Sunday night’s game! What? No post game dance? NO class!!!
The referee for the NY Giants-Cleveland game is John Parry.
Thanks Shane!
Please help me understand the call in the AZ/Dallas game where Romo fumbled in the end zone. The play was ruled a TD for AZ, but the review showed that Romo did not fumble, and it was ruled an incomplete pass because of the tuck rule. However, if this is correct, why was AZ not rewarded a safety? Clearly Romo threw the pass into the ground before he was swarmed by defenders in the end zone. Is there actually another rule that says you cannot throw a flag after a replay? If so, how can you allow this play be challengable? I don’t understand this.
Thanks,
D. Lombardi
