Referee Leavy doesnt’t have an “R” on the back of his uniform. Any idea why this is?
Saw this last week with one of the HLs. Loose thread and the letter panel fell off in the wash? No idea
Non of the replacement officials had position plackacts. But they were last years style. All of the current uniforms, the number and position are part of the screening process, so nothing to fall off
It’s definitely not a replacement uni, because they had a different font for the number. Yes, I notice those things.
Yea that’s what I mention by last years style. The font was different. And the crew that worked the Balt game on the first Thursday back had last years uniform. I notice too
OK, got your comment now. I have so many things open at once here. Thanks for noticing, too. Makes me seem less crazy
Any comment on the Pitta non-call right before his TD catch? Looked like helmet-to-helmet to me.
Yes, I agree. I was looking for a video link, and I think I found one.
Leavy may have announced the wrong number, but you named the wrong player. The Ravens Safety is Bernard Pollard, not Troy Pollard.
Woah! And we duplicated it on the follow-up post. Thanks for the correction.
