Great. So he’ll flag us for everything but Sauce Gardner will get away with PI and holding all night. 

[US Egg]

Never trust a sales manager. 🫠

[Dr.Sack]

Worst official since that NBA dude who admitted to gambling on games. Is it all a fix? McD better remind his team about the Steelers game and 12 1st half flags.

[Dr. Who]

He's absolutely the worst. It's like having Filthy Beast referee a Bills' game.

Especially from Irvine....

[Billznut]

Cheffers and Rodgers appeared to be tight from preseason game highlights shown on Hard Knocks a couple weeks ago, I believe it was from either the hall of fame game or preseason week 2 game. They are on a first name basis with each other in the clips.  Doesn’t inspire confidence for Monday night for a fairly called game. 

[Buffalo Junction]

A firefighter that went to Rutgers, a retired air traffic controller, and a Wisconsin AD all on the crew may not bode well for a Rodgers lead Jets team on 9/11 either…. Kind of feels like drawing the short straw. 

[DaBillsFanSince1973]

need to put his mug in the most punchable faces thread.

 

[K D]

Incoming 12 penalty game where McD talks about how the team lacks discipline so he will have them run laps every time they jump Offside in practice 😵

[SydneyBillsFan]

 

Carl Cheffers...🤮 Bring on the suck!

[Donuts and Doritos]

Sounds like an excuse to lose. Go execute, score a bunch of TDs, make it a blowout & the refs bad calls won't be a factor. No excuses this year, just results. 

 

(That said, I'll be screaming at the refs Monday night like everyone else)

I mean i feel like every QB has to be on a first name basis with these guys.

Sure... gotta have insurance and make sure there's parity in the AFC East, especially with Rodgers...

 

Get ready for another one-sided matchup, right out of the gate...

[K-9]

As long as the refs call the game the same way for both teams, I have no problem with any crew. 

[boyst]

just call sauce on his bullshizzy assault of receivers and i'll be happy.
