The Brits may be confused with the accent…then again, we cannot understand their English either…
Walt C. also did a season of NFLEurope, where I think he also did the championship game at Wembley Stadium.
Walt Anderson at NY Jets.
i hope vinovich draws a primetime game, preferably 49ers-Cardinals so I can see him soon!
Kenneth I would like to see Bill Vinovich on a prime time NFL game.
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…
Howard Eskin of WIP in Philadelphia is tweeting that Gene Steratore will be white hat for ATL/PHI.
Here’s a link to his twitter feed:

Hi Preth:
Carl Cheffers’ Crew in Green Bay (Jacksonville @ Packers) next Sunday
whos the ref for the vikings vs. bucs for thurs?
If we knew, it’d be on the list. 😉
i’m in the process of probing a source, if he tells me, i’ll post it. Just waiting on a reply from him
and he can’t tell me until Thursday, per NFL policy. Didn’t think he’d be able to, but it was worth a shot.
Ron Winter is on the Thursday night game……………
Terry McAulay could officiate any of the following Week 8 games:
NO @ DEN
WSH @ PIT
SD @ CLE
Jerome Boger could officiate any of the following Week 8 games:
OAK @ KC
SEA @ DET

Terry McAulay in Cleveland
Are you certain?
McAulay would either be in Cleveland or Pittsburgh according to the chart I have.
Yes, agreed. Just checking with him before I commit to it on the list, because he’s been wrong before.
(Edit: Good to see you again, John.)
Understood Preth.
BTW, good to be back.
Carey in denver
Already there.
Jeff Triplette could officiate any of the following Week 8 games:

John Parry could officiate any of the following Week 8 games:
SEA @ DET
OAK @ KC
Bill Leavy could officiate any of the following Week 8 games:
SEA @ DET
SF @ AZ
According to my calculations it will either be Leavy or Vinovich in Minneapolis on Thurs. night.
i guess i went by who had primetime and who hasnt yet.
Yeah, not a very reliable indicator. 🙂
MIN = Winter
CHI = Hochuli
CLE = Bodger
DET = Parry
GB = Cheffers
TEN = Riveron
STL (London) = Coleman
NYJ = Andersen
PHI = Steratore
PIT = Morelli
KC = Vinovich
DAL = Green
DEN = Carey
ARI = Leavy
OFF = Blakeman, Corrente, McAualay, Triplette
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…
Bob can be trusted.
sounds good. the oddities of the week had me guessing, and i don’t ever really pay attention to the names of who has which connections, haha
I can actually confirm. And Vinovich has Triplette’s crew.
Terry McAulay is off and Jerome Boger is headed for the Dawg Pound.
Thanks for the sort-out, Ben. Tricky week, this! Never would have guessed that McAulay would be on a second week off already.
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.
We have obviously already purged Weeks 1-3 from our brain. And rightfully so.
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.
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. Jon Banquer
This would be Leavy’s first regular season game in Arizona since 2005
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.
