While the “ face mask “ call was completely bogus( generated a lot of twitter activity during the game) and one of the worst phantom calls ever , Corrente is not terrible. He’ll have an all star crew , but his crew was fair during the season and didn’t throw a ton of flags. Bills-Redskins game had few called penalties overall. The Bills could do a lot worse. I’d prefer Vinovich or Blakeman, but Corrente wouldn’t be far off.

yep, agreed.  No Jerome Boger or Michael Scott look-alike (the guy we drew in the Wk16 New England game), and I’m good.

I like that the back judge is a quality control manager.  They should put him in charge of face mask penalties.

 

But I'd really rather have Steve Freeman

Fixed.

 

FYI, there are no more "unintentional" face mask penalties.  You unintentionally get your fingers stuck in someone's grill, it's 15 yards.

 

Maybe I did not express myself clearly but you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that Edmunds' FM was unintentional, I know he didn't even touch his FM. I meant that it was such a BS call that it was clearly just a huge miss by ref, and not a try to help Steelers.

I remember commenting on officials after that game. Except for that facemask which was clearly unintentional it was fairly called game, which was strange vs Steelers in Pittsburgh.

 

What?  You must be thinking of a different facemask  because the one called on Edmunds wasn't even close to his helmet at all.  He grabbed the dude in the numbers.

Lol I already commented this two posts above yours. I meant CALL was unintentional (i.e. not meant to help Steelers), not the facemask - we've all seen he didn't even het close to his helmet. I was just trying to say that refs were fine that game except for this blunder.

Sure NFL, we believe you want competent officiating. Part time refs what a complete joke.

 

They do this bc it helps them steer outcomes under the guise of ‘poor officiating.’ And we take it as plausible bc we’re like, well he’s not even full time so I can see why he sucks at his job. The NFL: “Awe shucks what are gonna do, he had a tough week as an elementary school principal!”

 

This is is the truth and no it’s not a ‘conspiracy theory.’

Idk if you know this but that call was bogus - and there's no "unintentional" facemask penalty anymore.

See my 2 reactions on this above. I clearly suck when expressing my thoughts in English.

But you're saying that the call was unintentional.  I don't understand that.

 

The ref has to go through a series of steps to call/enforce a penalty.  I don't know how any of them can be unintentional.

 

They have to see the penalty.

They have to grab the flag.

They have to throw the flag.

They have to explain the penalty to the Umpire so it can be announced.

 

How can all of those things happen unintentionally, especially when it was abundantly clear that no one's facemask was touched?

 

Which part was unintentional?
