Matt Rafferty says
Looking @ previous scheduled and scheduled for nationally televised game my best guess for Thursday nights game is Don Carey….what do you all think??
9er fan says
Hey Matt,
I was thinking the same thing,
plus:
Parry, Green, Hochuli, Riveron, MCarey, McAulay, Winter, Coleman and Leavy have worked Colts or Jags in the past 5 weeks. Corrente worked the first match up earlier in the year, making them all ineligible, plus, if you include that no ref can work the same home venue twice, that removes Steratore and Triplette.
With that said, that leaves 5 refs: Morelli, DCarey, Anderson, Cheffers and Boger. Cheffers and Anderson have both had Thursday games already. (Thanksgiving and Wk 11, respectively)
There are also 5 refs left due for a bye-week. Morelli, Cheffers, Boger, Winter and Green. 3 of these are 3 of the 5 eligble for the Indy-Jax game.
Also, Don Carey has not reffed Indy or Jax this season, including the Preseason
With that being said, I think its safe to say that Don carey should get the game, but hey, Winter has had 2 Thursday’s in 5 weeks, so who knows…
frank says
After doing some research I came up with the fact that Tony Corrente has not worked a game at Giants stadium since 2005. He has never worked a Jets home game. He wont be eligible for the Atlanta-Jets game assuming that he is working today’s NO-Atl game. He won’t be eligible for the Cinn-Jets game either because he just worked Cinn. He worked the Giants-Denver game.
Carl Cheffers who is of course one of the newer refs has yet to do a game at Giants stadium. He is suppose do today’s Jets Tampa game. Cheffers can still work the Carolina Giants game in two weeks.
eric berger says
walt anderson or john parry should have the texans/rams game in st louis next week
hochuli could also have it to but prob should be anderson or parry
eric berger says
6 refs eligable for the pats/bills game
4 of them would be making cross country trips from the west coast (leavy,hochuli,don carey,corrente) coleman and anderson could also do it
CHARLES says
I’M A REAL FAN OF BOGER!
Becky says
Hi Charles,
I have Boger’s hat from Oct 2009. I think this was the 1st yr that the White Hats wore Pink stripes & Pink Ribbon on their white hats. I have one the he wore in OCT 2009 & he signed it with his Ref #23.
Joe Platania says
Don Carey had never worked a Ravens game until yesterday (Sunday) vs. Detroit.
Unbelievable day the crew had! Carey had to re-adjust the clock at least four times and the down marker twice. He had to wave off a penalty because the chain clip fell off.
Plus — and this was because of the damp, rainy weather — he would sometimes leave his radio on, exposing young fans to the sometimes, uh, off-color language on the field (Tom White used to do that a lot). When he did try to address the crowd about penalties, the audio cut in and out.
All of this is no reflection on his crew’s performance, just a bad logistical day, that’s all.
If he gets the national TV game you all are talking about, I hope he has a better day.
Adam says
His crew did have a National TV game on MNF when Pittsburgh wnt to Denver and It thought the crew had a decent game.
Lisa says
Don Carey and crew at Philly.
eric berger says
Mike Carey can only do Arizona at Detroit, Houston at St. Louis, Tampa Bay at Seattle, or NY Giants at Washington where I think he will probably be to do the MNF game
Jeff Triplette can only do Arizona at Detroit, Cinci at San Diego, Tampa Bay at Seattle, or NY Giants at Washington
Al Riveron can only do Arizona at Detroit, Green Bay at Pittsburgh, Oakland at Denver, or Minnesota at Carolina
eric berger says
trying to go through these refs 1 by 1. As for Bill Leavy the only 2 games I feel he can do are Tampa Bay at Seattle and New England at Buffalo. I am 99% confident he will have the Tampa Bay at Seattle game with him being from the Bay area out west.
John says
Leavy is also eligible for Chicago-Baltimore.
Go Pats says
Am I the only one who thinks that John Parry is quietly becoming a very good referee? I think he and his crew have been generally consistent, and he is clear and articulate on the mic when explaining penalties, challenge results, etc. I know he’s only been a referee for a few years, but I like his style.
Matt Rafferty says
John Parry runs a clean game and he seems very professional about it. I like his work
John says
In fact, based on the patterns of this year, IT’S SEVEN, NOT FIVE WEEKS, 9ER FAN, plus, with the exception of Parry in N.Y.G., no return trips to the same venue (same team’s home games), here’s who’s eligible for what.
Anderson – IND @ JAX, DAL @ NO, HOU @ STL
Boger – IND @ JAX, DAL @ NO, CHI @ BAL, TB @ SEA, BYE
M. Carey – eric berger has it right, though we’ll see what he gets. I’m not sure he’ll get MNF as I think he’ll get SD-TEN Xmas night.
Cheffers – IND @ JAX, NE @ BUF, CIN @ SD, MIN @ CAR, BYE (long-awaited)
Coleman – NE @ BUF, OAK @ DEN, GB @ PIT, NYG @ WSH, BYE
Corrente – NE @ BUF, CLE @ KC, HOU @ STL, GB @ PIT
Hochuli – NE @ BUF, CLE @ KC, HOU @ STL, CIN @ SD
Leavy – CHI @ BAL, NE @ BUF, TB @ SEA
McAulay – DAL @ NO, ATL @ NYJ, OAK @ DEN, TB @ SEA
Morelli – IND @ JAX, AZ @ DET, ATL @ NYJ, CIN @ SD (though someone suggested he could have SNF despite him already having one.)
Parry – DAL @ NO, CLE @ KC, HOU @ STL, OAK @ DEN, CIN @ SD, GB @ PIT
Riveron – AZ @ DET, ATL @ NYJ, HOU @ STL, OAK @ DEN, GB @ PIT (eric berger missed ATL @ NYJ)
Steratore – AZ @ DET, CLE @ KC, OAK @ DEN, GB @ PIT, TB @ SEA, MIN @ CAR? (originally was to have NE-MIA as SNF, wonder if that counts vs. him.)
Triplette – eric berger has this down.
Winter – DAL @ NO, HOU @ STL, TB @ SEA
frank says
Eric I would like to see Leavy do Tampa-Seattle or New England at Buffalo because he has not worked at Seattle since 2003 and Buffalo is the only place he has never done a game at according to my stats
frank says
This is Boger’s first ever game in San Francisco. The only two cities he has not done a game at are Chicago and St Louis
Russ says
I think it is going to be Walt Coleman on MNF this week, not Mike Carey. Carey has already done one national TV game for the Giants and I belive a ref can only do a team nationally once unless the game is flexed.
9er fan says
I’m thinking Walt Anderson in Philly…
he hasn’t has SF or Philly this season.
Only Leavy, Triplette, Morelli, Anderson and the Careys are eligible.
Leavy, Triplette, Morelli and DCarey have worked one of these teams. Mike Carey, as listed above is slated for something else, leaving Anderson
eric berger says
Saw a post on a wagering website that Terry McAulay has the Saturday night game Dallas at New Orleans. I tried to go back to attach link but now pages comes blank.
eric berger says
Thursday night the only 3 refs that can do the game are cheffers, boger, and anderson. I doubt it will be Boger who worked Monday night, dont see his crew only getting 3 days of rest and have to travel cross country. Im assuming Cheffers has to be off this week so it must be Walt Anderson with the Colts/Jags game
John says
Morelli also is eligible for Thursday Night.
eric berger says
Morelli did a Jags game 7 weeks ago. If that 7 week rule is true and cant do the Jags this week
John says
What I meant is that as an example Don Carey had Oakland in Week 4 and again in Week 11. So since this is Week 15, anything Week 8 or before is still eligible barring 2nd trips to venues and 3rd games with any team. (Giants and Jets being treated separately.)
John says
To add, since Morelli had the Jags on the road in Week 8 and the Colts on the road in Week 3, he’s still eligible for that game.
Matt Rafferty says
Quick question here guys….looking at referee performance all year long….any early guesses on a Super Bowl Ref??
9er fan says
I haven’t seen/heard anything really about Leavy or Triplette this season, but Cheffers has been good and consistent. I’d say he is a bit to new to get the Bowl, but I’d love to see him pull at least one assignment…
Let’s see though:
Riveron – too new?
Leavy – had XL, and quite an uproar
DCarey – Rookie
MCarey – had XLII
Cheffers – too new?
Coleman – several career mishaps, but maybe?
Anderson – maybe? usually pretty decent ref
McAulay – had XLIII, XXXIX
Corrente – has XLI
Hochuli – won’t get it, but he will get postseason
Boger – will get postseason
Parry – no
Triplette – eh….
Green – no
Morelli – 2nd behind Morelli, opinion and quality
Winter – a few “mishaps” during the season should eliminate him
Steratore – SHOULD get it in my opinion
eric berger says
I would love to see Jeff Triplette get it. He is a great guy and hes become such a great referee after a tough start when he was first promoted.
If I had to guess though I would have to say Mike Carey, Ed Hochuli, or Bill Leavy. Three veterens who have great control of games. They all have detailed explanations of plays after reviews which I love. McAualay had it last year.
eric berger says
Steratore wont get it. He hasnt even been a referee for 5 years. He was just promoted 4 years ago I believe. And it doesnt matter if you had the superbowl a few years back. In the past Bernie Kukar, Jerry Markbreit and Bob McElwee would pretty much rotate it every 3 years. Also McAulay had it last year and had it the 4 years ago before that. I would say Hochuli gets it for the 3rd time in his career.
9er fan says
I had forgotten Steratore just become a WH. He’ll get a SuperBowl soon though, he is one of the best.
Hochuli or Triplette are most likely. Even though it doesn’t matter for the refs about doing the SuperBowl in any pattern, I don’t see Mike Carey getting in 2 of 3 years…
I thought it was cool how Mike got NYG@NE in week 17 2008, then he ended up the WH for the SuperBowl with the same teams a few weeks later
Matt Rafferty says
If I had to put my money on somebody it would be Walt Anderson. He has been solid for quite a while….Triplette just won’t get it he is not good enough. Morelli even though is nobodys favorite gets the job done so it will be interesting
Adam says
McCauly is the Big Easy here is the link from the DMN to rpove it.
http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2009/12/officials-breakdown-11.html
Kyle says
Just remember it is
Terry McAulay
eric berger says
Kyle, I think we all knew what Adam meant.
Adam says
Sorry my bad, Terry McAulay is in the Big Easy.
Kyle says
Make a note again that spelling is important if you are going to post Officials names. Right Eric?
You can look to the right and the spelling is there for you. Mikey has the names there for you to help you along.
John says
Update after the identifying the assignments of Cheffers, Leavy and McAulay.

Boger – IND @ JAX, TB @ SEA, BYE
M. Carey – AZ @ DET, HOU @ STL, TB @ SEA, NYG @ WSH

Corrente – NE @ BUF, CLE @ KC, HOU @ STL, GB @ PIT
Hochuli – NE @ BUF, CLE @ KC, HOU @ STL
Morelli – IND @ JAX, AZ @ DET, ATL @ NYJ, MIN @ CAR? (though someone suggested he could have SNF despite him already having one.)
Parry – CLE @ KC, HOU @ STL, OAK @ DEN, GB @ PIT
Riveron – AZ @ DET, ATL @ NYJ, HOU @ STL, OAK @ DEN, GB @ PIT (eric berger missed ATL @ NYJ)
Steratore – AZ @ DET, CLE @ KC, OAK @ DEN, GB @ PIT, TB @ SEA, MIN @ CAR? (originally was to have NE-MIA as SNF, wonder if that counts vs. him.)
Triplette – AZ @ DET, TB @ SEA, NYG @ WSH
Winter – HOU @ STL, TB @ SEA
Joel says
I completely disagree with disgusted in Cleveland. Walt Anderson is one of the best officials in the league. Many coaches and players will tell you that. I tend to believe them more than disgusted in Cleveland.
eric berger says
Hey Joel, I agree Walt is usually great but his crew was awful in Green Bay on monday night football. I really hope they donated there paychecks to charity because they didnt deserve them that night.
Don says
who is referee in Jacksonville tomorrow night? it is supposed to be rainy.
John says
I’m thinking Walt Anderson.
Though, we’ll see.
eric berger says
Al Riveron has the Raiders/Broncos game
eric berger says
Pete Morelli Atlanta at NY Jets
Russ says
Eric, this is incorrect. No offense, but you have been very inacurate on your game confirmations the last 2 weeks. A guess is different from a confirmation so perhaps tell us whether it is a guess or a confirmation.
Thanks,
Russ
Don says
Don, would Walt get another Thursday Night game? He had Dolphins-Panthers on a Thursday.
Don says
*John
John says
Don –
Ron Winter got 2, so why not?
batgurl_49 says
So the NFL limits the amount of Sunday/Monday night games for crews but not Thursday night? why is that?
Any confirmation on Hochuli’s crew for this week? I heard rumors he would be at Arrowhead but no proof.
Kyle says
Mr. Hochuli working the Gateway to the West City. That does not mean Arrowhead.
Russ says
Gateway to the west city is St.Louis, Hochuli will be there according to Kyle’s hint.
Russell says
Tony Corrente or Ron Winter are also possibilities to officiate the Super Bowl. They both are having terrific seasons. Jerome Boger is also a possibility. He is very underrated in my opinion.
Rich Kalahiki says
No word on todays game…………That dude bigman normally knocks down the whole list, great job guys.
Kyle says
Walt Anderson is the Ref for the TNF.
Jason says
Walt Anderson in Jacksonville.
JOE83 says
Let me tell all you. Pete Morelli’s crew will be in Min@Car Sunday Night Game.
JOE83 says
Please correct the Atl@NYjets game. Morelli’s crew not for thet game. Thanks.
Russ says
didn’t you tell us this last week, I do not know why we didn’t belived you.
TIM says
Joe, Morelli is the only ref that can do the JETS game.
Of the refs left this week:
Corrente-had atlanta last week
Hochuli-had atlanta 2 weeks ago
Steratore-had atlanta 4 weeks ago
Winter-had atlanta 5 weeks ago
Triplette-had the jets 4 weeks ago and atlanta 7 weeks ago
Boger-had the jets 3 weeks ago
Coleman-has already done a Jets home game
Mike Carey-has already done a Jets home game
Parry-has already done a Jets home game.
According to the rules Morelli is the only one who can have that game.
mike says
Anderson is updated for tonight.
I have removed Morelli.
Joe83 – Is it possoble for you to let me know how you know that Morelli will be in Carolina for Sunday night? I don’t need an exact answer, or if you would rather send me an email, mlevbb23@yahoo.com, I’ll keep it confidential.
Guys, thanks for all the help with the updates and finding out who’s where. Let’s try to make sure we have verified information if at all possible.
Thanks!!!
B. Fox says
JOE83 was right about Morelli last week… I’m inclined to believe him
Gavin says
Walt Anderson and his crew were outstanding last night as usual. I think clevelands rude comments about him should be deleted. His crew is outstanding and call a great game. I also disagree with Eric Berger. Andersons crew was very good on Ravens at Packers. Is it their fault that the teams commit penalties? They just called the illegal plays that the 2 teams committed. What should they do Eric Berger? Ignore the penalties and allow illegal plays?
Walt Andersons crew does an excellent job and there is nothing cleveland or Eric Berger can say to diminish the great work they do. He also does great work with the Big 12. These whiny fans need to quit crying.
Russ says
I think Anderson has had a good enough season to be the super bowl ref this year. He is due for one.
big man says
These are my guesses for the rest:
NE /BUF- Coleman
ARI/DET- Parry
CLE/KC- Steratore
HOU/STL- Hochuli
ATL/NYJ- Winter
MIN/CAR- Morelli
NYG/WAS- M. Carey
GB/PIT- Corrente
TB/SEA- Triplette
russ says
Winter did Atlanta in week 9, he is inegible as th rule is 7 weeks in between assignments.
John says
How I think the rest play out…
NE @ BUF – Tony Corrente
AZ @ DET – Gene Steratore
CLE @ KC – John Parry
ATL @ NYJ – Mike Carey (it would be his 2nd Jets home game, but I was stuck.)
GB @ PIT – Walt Coleman
TB @ SEA – Ron Winter
MIN @ CAR – Pete Morelli
NYG @ WSH- Jeff Triplettte
OFF – Jerome Boger
Alex1 says
Who is the referee for the Steelers game?
Rich Kalahiki says
Too bad we don’t have the full listing for the 1st set of games
Kyle says
Rich,
Full listing for what set of 1st games? Do you mean the 1st weeks of 2009?
Moss81 says
Tony Corrente is in Buffalo
big man says
Winter is in NYJ….Oh Russ….What is that about a seven week rule????
russ says
There had been a 7 week rule. Either it has been 6 weeks this year and this is the first time that happened, or traveling issues caused ref assignments to be switched.
russ says
I have a feeling Mike Carey was supposed to be in New York, but him living in San Diego made it harder for him to get to New Jersey and Seattle is a much easier trip, especially on short notice. With Winter living in Michigan, that might have been an easier trip.
big man says
Parry in PIT- with a Mixed crew…
russ says
No Big Man, next time you attack me, look at your own Facts please.
Rich Kalahiki says
Hey Bigman I think there might be an exception when the weather is bad. Maybe the ref that was actually scheduled wasn’t able to make it.
big man says
Steratore in KC
Triplette in DET
Corrente in BUF
Winter in NYJ
Jason says
That leaves us with TB SEA and NYG WAS to guess
my predictions are
TB SEA Boger
NYG WAS Mike Carey
keven says
ron winter is in new york
Shane Spencer says
Mike Carey is refereeing the TB @ SEA game, while John Parry is refereeing the GB @ PIT game.
John says
Which puts Walt Coleman on Monday Night and Boger is off.
Shane Spencer says
Right.
Matt says
Parry is in PIT alright. No one’s gonna forget THAT blown call…
Right up there with Tom Lady’s tuck rule play in boneheaded-ness, just with much less riding on it.
Rich Kalahiki says
With Morelli calling the SNF game who do u guys like? Under looks good
Rich Kalahiki says
O.K. who got MNF?
russ says
Walt Coleman
Shane Spencer says
Walt Coleman…he didn’t do a Monday night game yet this season.
