Week 16 referee assignments

4 thoughts on “Week 16 referee assignments”

1. Blakeman, Hussey, Cheffers and Vinovich. I charted each crew’s games this year, including who got Thursday, Sunday and Monday night games. These four got games of major consequence this weekend, so you can pretty much guess three among them will get the conference championships and the Super Bowl this time. The fourth will get a divisional. I’m thinking Corrente and Hochuli will get two of the others, leaving two vacancies to fill. Although Scott Novak isn’t eligible for a playoff game on the field, I’m guessing he’s the first-year white hat who’s doing the best. Of course, everything can change when Week 17 assignments come out. (If Vinovich doesn’t get SF@SEA, I’ll be shocked.) Any other views?

2. I think you have a good analysis, Ken. This, I believe, is also Cheffers’ 4th SNF game of the season, so he clearly has to be having a very good year.

   Tony Corrente also has seemingly had a good season. He has gotten 2 SNF games in the last 3 weeks, and he has DAL vs PHI nationally televised FOX game this weekend which has big division implications (winner wins the NFC East, basically). So I would lump him in with the others you mentioned as the top tier officials this year for playoffs.

   Only reason I think Vinovich may not get SF/SEA next week is because he already worked a 49ers away game this year. (Although the old assigning system seems to have gone out the window), so this may not even matter.

3. The Seahawks vs 49ers week 17 game is in Seattle and Cheffers 4 Sunday night game which the packers vs 49ers game week 12 was crossflexed to Sunday night

4.
