Do we know who is reffing our game Sunday? (1 Viewer)

If my memory is correct he did the Dallas/Saints game this year and was not that bad. Keeping my fingers crossed

I honestly think Steratore is one of the better crews in the NFL, except for his line judge - Jeff Seeman #45 - who IMO is one of the worst officials in the NFL. Oddly he is the son of Jerry Seeman who was a very accomplished NFL referee.

But I think Jeff has a job because of his Dad's reputation.

I agree with you, as I think that Steratore is an excellent referee. So maybe Sunday's game won't be too influenced by some atrocious officials' call.

Peter King wrote a great series about being embedded with Steratore's crew. It showed a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff that people don't usually hear about what the officials do and how they are graded.

I enjoyed it a lot, in fact I also opened a thread ("A week in the life of an officiating crew") to suggest reading it to every SR user, as it shows how much preparation is required by the officials' crew and how heavy is the scrutiny for the calls being made.
