With a last name Reels you know he was born to be a replay official.

The game has passed Reels by - Ritchie Stream is an up-and-coming replay official who deserves a shot

I believe Morelli crews have a history of throwing few flags and blowing big calls when they do throw them. Expect to be disappointed by the stripes this week

NFL Demotes Officiating Crew After Screwups In Cardinals-Niners Game

Sunday’s Cardinals-49ers game was a disaster for the officials, one that stood out even against the backdrop of an especially woeful season for the zebras. How bad was it? The crew responsible has been demoted from primetime.

 

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the NFL has removed referee Pete Morelli’s crew from the Colts-Steelers game to be played on Sunday night. Morelli’s crew has been reassigned to another game.

 

Morelli’s crew botched multiple things on Sunday, including taking a down away from the Cardinals on a 49ers penalty, a move that led Arizona coach Bruce Arians to quip, “The officials were struggling. Mightily. They can’t count to three.”

Soon after, there was a six-minute delay as the officials lost track of downs. There were a series of questionable flags thrown, many of them crucial calls against San Francisco, leading Niners guard Alex Boone to go on this rant:

 

“I’m not really too worried about getting fined. I thought those refs sucked. I thought that—you call running into a player when nobody even touched you? I mean, if you don’t like what we say, then don’t like what we say. Don’t throw a flag for it. That’s what I’m sick of about this league. This is supposed to be a man’s game. Be a man. That’s what pisses me off. It’s guys like that, working in this league, work on this field, and we have to deal with it. You know, whatever. It was a terrible call. They’ve had terrible calls all game. I don’t care what the league says. I don’t care what Roger [Goodell] says. It’s the truth. You don’t like it, get the hell out of here.”

 

Pete Morelli is one of the most highly respected and highly graded referees in the NFL, so it’s odd that his crew made such a botch of things. But it’s been an awful season for them. It was the Morelli crew that failed to notice 18 seconds tick off the clock during a dead ball late in Steelers-Chargers, and the Morelli crew that missed what should have been a game-ending false start in Jaguars-Ravens. The first mistake nearly swung an outcome; the second did. Sunday’s gaffes weren’t an anomaly, and now the crew is being moved out of a national game.

This group is awful and call over 20 penalties a game (highest in the league). The Raiders are, historically, an undisciplined team but not this year. Hopefully we will be the beneficiaries of this flag happy crew.

Heard this the other night and observed them firsthand. It was !@#$ing pathetic to see them intervene in almost every play...whether there was a penalty or not. I maintain that when you call all the marginal chit like these guys do, and then you have an actual penalty that is called......it totally screws up the flow of the game. Disappointing.
