The ref was in his 1st year as the
referee but it was his 12th year in the league.
I believe he was back judge or line judge.
I'm sure it was all completely coincidental that for the highest rated game of the season, the NFL decided to put in a rookie crew with a history of calling lots of offensive PI penalties. Though in this game, there were noncalls for Colts offensive PI, and lots of phantom PI calls for the Pats.
As has been stated elsewhere on this board, NFL crews are assigned to games at the beginning of the season by a random computerized selection, and only told of their assignments a few weeks prior, in order to make them less susceptible to gamblers.I keep forgetting that. I take back what I said earlier.
Can you give a link to that?? I really wish to see that in print from a reputable source...I remember one game that Hoculy did earlier this year and how when it was announced they said that the Commish wished him to ref that game because of the opponents and that a strong official was needed..If THAT is true..no computer BEFORE the season started.....I know it HAS been stated..but I have not heard from any GOOD source.. It makes sense..but on teh other hand....why was one of the best officials in London..random?? OR do they pick some officials..and not others??As has been stated elsewhere on this board, NFL crews are assigned to games at the beginning of the season by a random computerized selection, and only told of their assignments a few weeks prior, in order to make them less susceptible to gamblers.
What quarter??? the one where he dove?? and the defender was behind him??Watson gets mugged...no call...this NFL Replay is DAMNING
Cousin,Oh come on guys, it's just like the NBA does it.
Assign a rookie ref crew in a highly anticipated pro game, have the calls being completely one sided.
Not only just the 150 yards vs. 24 Colt penalty yards, but the noncall offensive PI on Clark late in the game...
Then the denials by Pereira later on TV.

Anyone else notice how pumped up Nance gets when the Colts make a play....and when the Pats make one he acts like he is watching bowling.
You wouldn't have known Rodney picked off Manning unless you had your eyes glued to the TV

If anyone is watching this now, can you actually see Polian's arm coming out of Pereira's ass?
Add another one to the missed calls...I do not remember if you see the whole play with watson and the defender..will see again...yes..thatw as bad..yeah...that's the one
Just saw the post game handshake...what EXACTLY was Colt fan *****ing and moaning about??? BB said nice game, shook his hand and went on his way....WTF do these idiotic farmers want??? A Q and A on the field? jeezus, enough with this made-up Colt fan crap on this board
