Guess who the ref for the Chargers/Bengals game is...

No, really. The biggest stage and the NFL goes to THAT unit to showcase their product?

Well I hear they are still trying to sell 10,000 seats to that game. Maybe a game that turns into a fight will bring the crowds in. Unlike the CLink which sold out playoff game tickets in what 10 minutes?

 

[WizardHawk]

A lot easier to sell out games when your team is expected to win, and win big. Still, I'm sure Seattle would have sold out even as the 3rd or 4th seed. We did back when we were 7-9.

God, how does that group of imbeciles get the nod to officiate a playoff game? This just shows there are absolutely no consequences to royally fucking up as an NFL official. Only bright side is maybe they fuck up enough that the NFL actually takes notice and fires those clowns.

you assume that they are fucking up. perhaps they get a playoff game because they will throw the flags the NFL wants thrown?

Triplette is one of the worst. He is the one that always calls false starts on us after the Defense jumps inducing the offensive line. HE NEVER gives us that call but gives it to everyone against us. He has been around to long and really needs to be replaced. Him, Leavy and Carey need to go. Hochuli isn't much better but the networks love him because he has "guns"

they Refs you don't know because you dont hear about them are the good ones because they are not making impacts in the game. Meaning they call things a little better and they don't get the bad call press on them.

The league has had to apologize for his crew in every game over the last 4 weeks. They were involved in several botched endings to games. It is utterly ridiculous that they are allowed to officiate in the playoffs when other crews that have to be far better are going to be sitting at home. And I hope to god they only get one playoff game and are not coming to Seattle in the second round.

If the NFL decides they don't want a team to win... That team is not winning... It scares me more than anything... So many cheesy calls each game when the fix is in you just think it's more cheesy calls... NBA has been cheating for years and sadly it's happened in the NFL also... It's a sad thing in sports when dirty A&&holes ruin it for everyone... I don't think every game has the fix in but when it's in you can tell... Right now that's my biggest worry heading into the playoffs... Will the NFL let the teams decide this thing or is Vegas getting involved....
