Getting screwed already. Tony Corrente assigned to Pats/Cards

[JMC00]

Week 1 referee assignments

I'd actually be more worried if he were assigned to one of the home games. . . .

why do you say we're screwed,?

edit: He worked the AFCCG in the 2013 season. Not sure that this makes him awful.

He did the Denver regular season game. That was an absolute screw job by the refs

 

[Love The Drake]

You knew it was to get Peyton in the playoffs

Tin foil hats for everybody!!!!

interesting read: This Week's Zebras Aren't Any Better Than Last Week's

For Corrente’s crew, it appears the offense gets flagged much more than the defense. Specifically breaking out the top-5 penalties for Corrente’s crew we see a major disparity in the calls...There’s False Starts and there’s Offensive Holding… then everything else, which seems to almost be an afterthought.

I think i'm a little justified by that denver game last year

I'm still disgusted by the ref's involvement in that game.

Even the cover of SI had a hold on the cover and then there are these two gems from the Broncos TDs.

Walt Anderson wasn't available?

 

[Gumby]

Go-to-hell pulling out all the stops.

Still waiting on the no NYJFL logo game 5 suspension to come out

They'll get Brady as a habitual offender and suspend him a year.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Eh, unless you're getting Gene Steratore, Bill Vinovich, Craig Wrolstad, or Walt Coleman, they all pretty much stink in some way, shape, or form. I'm just happy we didn't get Jerome Boger, Clete Blakeman, or Jeff Triplette.

 

[Tunescribe]

I'll bet he and Steratore have mafia ties.

 

[Dorito Dink]

Walt Anderson wasn't available?

He thought he was but then the NFL convinced him that there is a possibility he might not be available...so here comes Tony

For as bad as that Denver game was reffed, the Pats simply blew that game.

They couldn't hold a 14 point lead in the 4th Quarter and then a 7 point lead, with the ball no less, with a little over 2 minutes to go in the game, choosing to throw on every down instead of run and waste clock....

That's just inexcusable. No refs blew that game for the Pats.

Disagree with you completely on this. Take out the bad calls and the Patriots walk away with it. This was the most important regular season game of the year and basically ended up deciding the superbowl.

You and Quantum can disagree all you want, but the refs didn't decide the outcome of that game.

The refs didn't make Harper muff a punt and they certainly didn't force the Pats to throw on three straight downs with a 7 point lead and a little over 2 mins to go in the game, saving not only the Broncos' timeouts but the 2 minute warning to boot. Eliminate those mistakes and the game is won.

That loss was all on the players and the coaches. Using the refs as a scapegoat for that particular loss is getting old. We're above that sort of childish stuff.

Its beginning to sound like Oakland Raider whiners blaming the snow bowl loss on the tuck rule play. The bad and generous calls go both ways and the team did not do enough to win when using the Refs is the excuse for losing.

Over his career, the Pats have won more games than lost when Corrente is reffing the game. Also, the home team won less than 50% of the time last season under Correntes crew.
