Week 9 referee assignments

37 thoughts on “Week 9 referee assignments”

1. why is there a TBD for Dolphins at Bills?

2. Why do referees always say the team’s hometown when they announce charged timeouts, challenges, or at the coin toss instead of the team’s name? Ex: Baltimore is challenging the ruling on the field. Is it a rule that they can’t say team’s names? I’m really curious

3. I assume that Walt Anderson will work as referee for Dolphins Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday

4. We aren’t assuming anything, which is why it is TBD. We have conflicting information, and we have never been wrong with an assignment. I’ll have it verified in a day or two at the most.

5. I can finally see Ed Hodchuli in action

7. For those of you who haven’t used process of elimination, only John Hussey and Walt Anderson are possibilities for MIA-BUF. Other referees without assignments so far are Pete Morelli (worked MIA last Thursday), John Parry (worked in Buffalo Week 1), and Jeff Triplette (near guarantee he has a bye after returning from London).

8. I say scratch out Hussey for MIA@BUF Walt Anderson will have the game in Buffalo

9. Well Hussey did the Giants vs Buffalo game and Walt Anderson did the Buffalo vs Titans game

10. I’m kinda surprised Gene Steratore has the Panthers, didn’t he have the Panthers vs Buccaneers a few weeks ago?

11. I say Anderson is in Buffalo on Sunday

12. Just take a guess and if you’re wrong, you’re wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time 😉

13. I can confirm it will be Carl Cheffers officiating Miami at Buffalo.

14. Carl Cheffers isn’t going to referee two games this week!!

15. I agree Cheffers won’t officiate two games this and thats why I think Anderson has the Dolphins Bills game in Buffalo

16. Can Carl Cheffers referee two games this week? He has tomorrow nights game in Cincinnati.. I just checked the Bills and Dolphins 2015 Wikipedia and for their game on Sunday Carl Cheffers is the referee listed for that game as well.

17. I think Walt Anderson will be in Buffalo on Sunday

18. I am 100 percent on Cheffers doing Miami-Buffalo. I saw the Bills’ official flip card. If I could post a picture I would.

19. Walt Anderson did Bills-Titans in Week 5. He wouldn’t be eligible to officiate the Bills in Week 9.

20. Is it for sure that Carl Cheffers has the game in Buffalo as well as the TNF Game?

21. Ben has caused an incredible amount of confusion this week…need to get some more reliable sources…get it together Austro!

22. HELLO? Why do referees always say the team’s hometown when they announce charged timeouts, challenges, or at the coin toss instead of the team’s name? Ex: Baltimore is challenging the ruling on the field. Is it a rule that they can’t say team’s names? I’m really curious

23. I understand Walt is out for a short period with an injury. Like last week, I’m sure another R will work with his crew.

24. Just curious, if Cheffers is doing both games this week. Will this be the first time a referee does two games in one week? Also, thanks Ben for your great work in getting assignments posted so quickly.

25. Week #10 question

    Is Pete Morelli eligible for HOU @ CIN on Monday Night? Sorry if I am early with asking this.

26. We fixed the post. Information published by the NFL was relied upon (naturally), but was incorrect.

    As for referees working Thursday-Sunday, it has happened if there are no referees available to fill in for injury or if there is some other assignment issue.

27. Randy, there is no rule on how referees indicate the teams when penalties and the toss are announced. It is just usually personal preference. They usually call the teams by their hometown but sometimes name the team. For example, Ed Hochuli when calling a timeout last week referred to the Jets by their nickname rather than New York. It is also helpful to use nicknames in obvious situations like when the Giants play the Jets. Saying ‘New York win the toss’ helps nobody.

    Hope this helps

28. Matt Baehner, most likely no. Morelli and his crew already worked a Monday Night game earlier this year between Pittsburgh and San Diego. It is highly unlikely he will receive another Monday game.

29. It seems to me that the person who assigns the WHs each week is very bias. Some WHs receive all the important/marquee games while others are overlook noticeably. It seems Ed and Jerome especially are assign to Siberia each week. Ed I see finally gets a marquee and or a primetime game. just saying.

30. Randy is right. It is not the whole city that is being charged a timeout or assessed a penalty, just their football team. I’ve wondered why they call the city’s name for a long time also. On another note, we get Ed on a Sunday night and Gene for the Packers-Panthers, the obvious NFC game of the week! Can’t wait to see these guys call their games! (Go get ’em, Panthers!)

31. Oh, no, what happened to Mr. Anderson? Wishing him well and a rapid return, because I like the way he calls his penalties, looking in the direction he points whether toward the offense or defense.

32. Two games in one week? 2012 season, week one crew on Sunday night in Denver worked 4 nights later on Thursday night in Green Bay.

33. Does anyone think the lack of consistency with calls is at least part due to changing the crew assignments in the last year or so? One example- a few years ago, Hochuli’s crew made only a few bad calls- and not often. His current crew isn’t anywhere near as good.

34. When will Week 10 Officials Assignments be announced?

35. I know Steratore is in Denver week 10 Confirmed by Gene himself He’s a friend of mine

36. Who’s eligible for Giants-Pats? I know Hochuli, Triplette, Boger, Torbert, Allen, Anderson, Steratore (who’s apparently in Denver) Anybody that I’m missing?

37. Hochuli in East Rutherford is confirmed.
