Hate to bring it up. But does anyone know the crew yet for this weekend? It's an allstar (whatever that means) crew. Many refs keep fu..... surfacing in these games and I'm compiling a list of the most consistent offenders.

im hearing Jeff Tripplet from Chargers board..is he the bad 1 from last year or 2 years ago against Broncos?

Jeff Tripplet was the ref during that game but I think it was Gregory Steed (Back Judge) who called the bogus penalty against Samuel. The gamebook does not show which ref called the penalty. There has to be more accountability and a PUBLIC record of WHICH refs make these horrendous calls.

Steed and Triplette will both be in New England this weekend for the game.

These guys better not screw up again. Two years in a row the Pats have lost to the Broncos/Colts/Officials. Hopefully not this time.

Lets say you were a terrible employee. Always screwing up. When given simple instructions, you can't finish the job without having problems. Yet, despite everyone knowing how useless you are, the boss seems to like you. If you were given a name for being this incapable, it would be:

Jeff Triplette

In my opinion, he's one of the worst referees in the NFL.

All I ask is that he doesn't try to blind some of our offensive lineman.

"The Pats led 3-0 when Jake Plummer threw deep from the New England 40 for Ashley Lelie. Asante Samuel, who had already picked off Plummer, was running stride for stride with Lelie. He turned his head back as he ran and maintained perfect position. As the ball came down, Lelie put his right hand on Samuel's shoulder pad and tugged, pulling the smaller defender into him. Still, Samuel kept his feet as the ball landed harmlessly in the end zone seven yards beyond the players. The official right on top of the play correctly called nothing.
A thousand one.
A thousand two.
A thousand three.
And then from out of nowhere a flag flies into the frame. The officials confer and one seems to be trying to talk the other out of making a terrible mistake. But, alas, he can't. The yellow has been thrown — obviously in error — and instead of rectifying the mistake, the officials basically award the Broncos the game's first touchdown by giving them first-and-goal at the one. From where the flag came from, I assumed it was thrown by the back judge, a suspicion confirmed by CBS analyst Phil Simms. So I would like to ask Greg Sneed what he saw or thought he saw that would make him so confident in his call that he would be willing to give a team seven points in a 3-0 game. Why, Greg Sneed, why? And if you were so confident in your call, Greg Sneed, what took you so long to throw the flag?"

why can we not have Ed Hochuli? I don't get it. He is by far and away the best ref in the league and yet we never have him (have we had him once this year? I thought maybe once but I can't remember). The reason = NFL is a game of complicated rules with underlying reasons that lawyers understand better, and call the game better. I really do not understand the system under which the NFL assigns its refs.
