Just Jack Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 It's playoff time, time for a new thread.... WC1 - Bills at Houston Tony Corrente is the referee, who is in his 25th season and 22nd as referee. This is Corrente’s 19th postseason assignment, including 8 Wild Card Playoffs, 5 Divisional Playoffs, 5 Conference Championships, and Super Bowl XLI. Yrs 2019 crew College Occupation R 99 Tony Corrente 25 Cal State-Fullerton former college officiating coordinator, retired educator U 102 Bruce Stritesky 14 Vinovich Embry Riddle airline pilot DJ 6 Jerod Phillips 4 Martin Northeastern State elementary school teacher LJ 65 Walt Coleman IV 5 Novak Southern Methodist financial advisor FJ 116 Mike Weatherford 18 Novak Oklahoma State energy trader SJ 86 Jimmy Buchanan 11 Blakeman South Carolina State insurance agent BJ 111 Terrence Miles 12 Novak Arizona State quality control manager Replay official: Mike Wimmer Replay assistant: Bill Ellis Alternates: Alex Kemp (R), Ramon George (U), Mark Steinkerchner (LJ), Gary Cavaletto (SJ) Since this is a mix of various crew members, not the same crew for all season, lets look at how each one did at their last Bills and Texans games. Crew Member - last Bills or Houston game - result - penalties Tony Corrente - We've actually had Corrente and his crew twice this season, against the Redskins and Steelers. The Redskins game seems to be an anomaly with just two penalties called on the Bills. Redskins at Bills - W9-24 - 2/20 Bills at Steelers - W17-10 - 8/70 Colts at Texans - L30-23 - 10/54 Pats* at Texans - W22-28 - 8/79 Bruce Stritesky Bills at Cowboys - W26-15 - 7/53 Texans at Titans - W24-21 - 5/27 Jerod Phillips Bills at Jets - W17-16 - 7/55 Texans at Chargers - W27-20 - 6/65 Walt Coleman IV - Mike Weatherford - Terrence Miles Bills at Dolphins - W37-20 - 5/50 Jaguars at Texans - W12-13 - 7/47 Texans at Buccaneers - W23-20 - 4/35 Jimmy Buchanan Bengals at Bills - W17-21 - 7/55 Texans at Jaguars - W26-3 - 7/60 (London game) Titans at Texans - L35-14 - 5/35 My biggest concern with this crew, is having three members and one of the alternates from the same crew, instead of mixing it up more. If there was any reason to say a fix is in, this could be it. Especially one being a Coleman. Three guys told to either miss key penalties or get plenty of wrist exercises in for the flag throwing this weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drabgod Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Horrible crew for the Bills Besides Correnre everyone is from the south the prejudice will be self evident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 when will the day ever come when ALL NFL referees list THAT as their full time careers and not all the extraneous stuff....I think they should bump the number from 21 out of the 121 officials hired to ALL be permanent ….do you think this would better performance? With the amount of bad and missed calls even with the challenges allowed I still think they could perform to a much higher level and maybe being fulltime would help...…….what do you think? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to play smart football and get a big enough lead where the referees can't be a game changer That’s what I’ve always said. Good teams overcome officiating. Our conspiracy theorists think everyone is out to get us. Maybe they only watch bills games or are just paranoid but even the bad calls we’ve gotten this year is rampant throughout the entire league it’s not just us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A damn Pats fan paid by Kraft/Goodell to frequent other teams message boards to pretend that the fix isn't in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone gets bad calls, sometimes the patriots do too. Surely not as much as lower tiered teams though Edited January 1, 2020 by Rc2catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimKellyTryouts Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 He also officiated the Hawks-49ers game this past Sunday, right? I don't have a good feeling about this one at all, and like an above poster mentioned, we have to play well enough to overcome the 3-5 bogus calls that very well could/should come our way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) I try not to worry about the things in my life that I can't control. For the Bills, what they can control is reviewing the tendencies of each of these officials to see if they're more or less likely to call certain types of judgement call penalties, and keeping that in mind while they play. Should DBs be more or less physical, challenging WRs down the field? How egregious does holding by the O line have to be to get called (there are many instances of holding calls being missed or ignored, against all teams). How protective of QBs are they, wrt roughing the passer? Edited January 2, 2020 by Utah John mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely not as much as lower tiered teams though Kidding. Everybody thinks the refs are out to get them. Even Pats fans think the refs overcompensate because of the public perception that refs give them on the calls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
