There was two big positives about last night's refs:
- They kept their flags in their pockets on the ticky tack stuff.
- They seemed to call the game evenly. Unlike with the real refs at times, when they screwed up and/or they looked the other way (especially on holding) they were pretty fair and even with both teams.
My observation of these refs is that, being new and with Bill Polian out of the league, they have not been beaten down by PI points of emphasis (yet). They've largely kept the flags in their pockets on hand-checking and inadvertant contact, when with the regulars there would be penalty flags in triplicate on the field, always against the defense.
It is my fervent hope that this continues.
