referee assignment for week 4


Captain Obvious

Recommended Posts

In light of Cam V referees last week I looked for the referee assigned to us this weekend. I found it here. http://www.footballzebras.com/2015/09/29/13190/

Its Gene Steratore,

Interestingly in the comments I found this:

After 3 below average games, can Gene Steratore and his crew receive just passing grades? The overall performance of the NFL Referees have been poor thru 3 weeks. Penalty after penalty after penalty after penalty. Too bad someone can’t throw a flag on them.

At the top of the incompetent list….Gene Steratore and Terry Mcaulay.

 

also:

Steratore’s crew is old, save Dino and Gary Arthur (now on DL). Waggoner can’t even walk without a limp.

 

 

for a lol

Bortles probably not “old enough” to get the calls from Hochuli either

Every NFL player & coach should donate to Cam's favorite charity because what Cam did/said this & last week have put the refs on notice. They have all been so bad so far this season & no one has had the kohonahs to call them out. But now every play-by-play announcer & color commentator will be paying closer attention to the refs.

How are the refs throwing lots of flags through the first 3 weeks a sign of their incompetence?  Judging by the quality of play the first 3 weeks, I would say most of the issue is with the players (plus the fact that the NFLPA pushed so hard to get rid of padded practices).

Except for when the players didn't actually do anything but flags are thrown anyway. I'm from the "refs are human too and will make mistakes" school of thought and am probably more understanding than many NFL fans, but a handful of questionable penalties game in and game out is a bit much.

    • Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. I think Bryce decides who he's throwing to before the snap too often instead of reading what he sees post snap. Now alot of that is trying to influence the safety, but if the safety doesn't bite, he gets stuck and it turns into Bryce trying to make a play off schedule as the other options are gone. Cam did the same thing when Kelvin and Smitty were in the game. Bryce sees the field. He just gets a little stubborn sometimes. And that's when he gets himself into trouble. That and he doesn't trust guys to make plays on 3rd down. Instead of throwing to the open guy and letting them get the remaining 3-5 yards for the first, he'll wait until he can throw a guy to the markers. I don't think those physical limitations that keep being brought up is that real for him. Well... until he gets tackled and fumbles the ball at an alarming rate. But he has a strong enough arm, sees the field, and doesn't get injured by regular hits. 
    • Panthers win of course.  Like every Sunday I still have the hopelessly optimistic mindset  😎  
    • You do realize that first play was at 9:16 and they scored a TD before the 2 minute warning. 7 minutes is not a super long drive to come out with a TD. Longer developing plays is what helped get Carolina in the situation they were in. So you're suggesting they should have kept calling the same plays that weren't working? Are you suggesting Bryce keep throwing the same passes that weren't being completed? They were not in soft zone coverage. For comparison, this is Carolina's first defensive alignment in the 3rd quarter, and that's with only 1 WR on the field.  Cardinals were in a normal alignment/depth to stop run or pass. Not a soft zone to give underneath passes to TEs/RBs only. The LBs would likely be closer to 10 yards deep and the DBs more like 15-20 yards in that scenario.
