NFL to finally be free of Moron Jeff Triplette?

Referee Jeff Triplette reportedly retiring after shaky performance in NFL playoffs

Here's my question: did the NFL know Triplette was retiring before this game? And did Triplette get a playoff game BECAUSE he was retiring? Triplette had not been assigned a playoff game since the 2013 season, according to Pro-Football-Reference.

It seems extremely coincidental that Triplette would get a playoff game for his final assignment after failing to grade well enough over the last three seasons to earn one.

Anyone else think Triplette always came off as cranky?

 

[chasa]

theres some debate on whether he fixed the game.

I know there was at least one call where mariota fumbled on a sack that the call was So damn bad, i was actually pissed FOR the chiefs.

On the other hand, there was also the Kelce concussion fumble though. The NFL claims that Kelce regained possession on the ground, which is impossible because all he did was scoop it towards him while he was knocked out, and didn't actually grab it.

Then again, that was Riverion who chose not to review it, not Triplette (although he made the initial call). Frankly I think Riverion was just afraid to overturn a call to call it a fumble when the guy was concussed on a helmet-to-helmet hit that wasn't penalized.

Probably because he knew everyone knew he was an idiot.

 

[letekro]

The worst of all time. And he did it all with a smirk.

Now if they can just not replace him with an equally incompetent and corrupt imbecile and also get rid of Boger, Anderson, Corrente, and a few others, the NFL will be looking pretty good.

At least in terms of officiating.

I liked him better than Jerome Boger but I mean, that's like saying I prefer being pissed on to being **** on.

 

[Schmo]

So, I'm the third person in 10 minutes to immediately think of Boger.

Yup, sounds about right.

Jesus, is it possible for an NFL quarterback to turtle any more than Bortles has? Looks like he would rather go to a cooking class. The whole team knows it and are bordering on just folding.

 

[RobertWeathers]

By trotting out Triplette, the NFL was not interested in putting out the finest, most competent officiating crew possible so the game is called perfectly

Which is consistent with everything they do

 

[AQPE]

Another theory: Zeus Brown's kid is coming into the league next year. Go to paragraph 4 in the link below.

Orlando Brown, Who Sued N.F.L. Over Errant Flag, Dies at 40

No great loss and take Boger and Chatty Hochuli with you, Triplette

Not enough bran?

I think the NFL needs to change how it referees games and also places the ball. The ball and field should be chipped so that you can have exact ball placement. Refs should be replaced by topless dancers (can be both sexes so not to offend).

 

[Soliel]

The guys a goon! I’m glad he’s gone. Now, if he could just take that flag happy pats hater with him? Wouldn’t that be nice?

Jump Ball Joe is in mourning.

At least we didn't get stuck with him again! Now if he could only take a few others with him!

I don't recall any infamous Triplette gaffes calling Pats games. Boger's "work" is another matter entirely.
