What's next? "The timing couldn't have been worse. Referee Shawn Smith's crew was struggling Thursday night, hours after we learned that the NFL is now willing to fire officials during the season for poor performance. Smith's crew initially enforced a penalty incorrectly on the opening kickoff of the Houston Texans' 42-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins. It missed an obvious trip on a first-quarter punt, called a questionable unnecessary-roughness penalty that gave the Dolphins a first down, and took away the catch of the year by Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins because of a mild push-off. The natural question for fans, players and coaches alike: Would Smith and/or his crew be fired?" [end] Good link for referee biases and teams that are screwed over yearly: https://time2play.com/blog/referee-bias-in-the-nfl/ Of the 24 NFL crews, Shawn Smith is the 11th most aggressive referee: "Additionally, Shawn Smith was the most associated with roughing the passer penalties (68.4%)" Edited October 4, 2023 by chongli 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ManRaid Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Great, the top sacking defense in the league draws the ref who most over-calls roughing the passer. Interesting to see that aside from the +155.8% unsportsmanlike conduct ref outlier, the top 3 and 5 of the top 10 aggressive refs favor roughing the passer. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I was hoping whatever official we had to hear talk in this game would speak in a cockney accent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
