Officiating crew - Firstchance - 01-06-2026
After a miserable performance by last weeks crew verse the Bucs we have Clete Blakeman’s crew this weekend.
Does that name sound familiar? It was Clete’s crew who called an all time 12 penalties against our Panthers in our last Super Bowl appearance!
Let’s see how this shakes out!
Found this and doesn’t sound good:
Blakeman’s crew is flag heavy, particularly unnecessary roughness, and historically home teams have struggled against the spread with his crew, with a notable amount of penalties going against the home team.

Yeah, this sucks.
And Brad Allen's crew will be doing a game in the playoffs.. It seems the best are being rewarded LOL,, Will they screw the Bills or the Jags ?
Clete's crew sucks

I know and it’s insane OP. So many “normal” people would have lost their jobs (but not once did I ever blame the crew for our lose, we were just not prepared and didn’t perform)… however, I thought that crew was done for the year and yet they get one of the bigger games. Insane.

The entire "Officiating Crew" in the NFL are, for the most part, horrible. The best we can hope for is that our guys stay vigilant and disciplined.
THIS is why I have said for the past twenty years that we should be able to challenge fouls called by the referees.
