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.

    • Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.
    • You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.
    • Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
