Don't have NFLN, but for those who do, be sure to post your observations about the crew!

I am not sure about the 12 men call, but NFLN only showed it from the opposite sideline which is inconclusive. You needed one from the Bears sideline to see for sure

Long sleeves in September? Well it is 57 degrees in Green Bay tonight. |

Good call on the review for 12 defence.
GB just ran a trick play on a FGA. TD instead. The DW sprinted to the GL for coverage.
I've been quite impressed with some of the officiating. Some of these guys will have done their job very well.

Long sleeves in September? Well it is 57 degrees in Green Bay tonight. And once it gets below 60 degrees in the fall, especially at night, it all depends on the wind chill. |

Pereira tweet:
For those of you that said the officials struggled tonight, I have to agree. Tough game to call but pace was bad. Just didn't seem smooth.

Here what I will say about the crew. Their administration of the game wasn't all that bad, but they just seemed uncomfortable and Gerald Wright was extremely awkward on the mic. He would stop his ruling mid sentance and he just seemed to have no idea what to say. I was surprised how terrible he has been on the mic the last two weeks because he actually has D1 experience as a Referee of the Big 12 and MWC.

russ-oh doggone here I go again. Didn't watch much of the game but did you ever hear Jerome Boger on the mic? Or to go back a bit further Pat Haggerty (who had a very very choppy style on the mic)?
Not defending them again but I also think the league is making changes on the fly and I didn't see this ref's previous game but one complaint I read was they weren't giving good enough explanatons for some and so perhaps the league made that a special emphasis this week?
Were there any groiss errors? Didn't see very much of the game to comment but again the question we're dealing with here is was their performance so bad that there will be a phone call from Park Avenue this morning to Green et al to come in and let's talk. If not Mike comes across (and I praise his worl all the time and love to listen to his explanations of things) as a biased observer; especially because of his little verbal spat with Anderson. At least, that's the way it might seem to the average fan who are ultimately the ones who drive the ship.
Again, not defending the scabs but just trying to be realistic about the situation (so try not to kill the messenger, please).

CJ, I've been on your side for most of your disagreements with this issue and nothing changes here. Nothing at all in this game will make the NFL want to cave. I would even go as far as to say this was one of the better Officiated games from the last 2 weeks. Wright's crew did a much better job on this game than their game last week. I was only pointing out that Wright was pretty bad on the mic and seemed lost at times. Those are not things that will help the NFLRA reach a deal. |

Good mic work is not easy.
It's not surprising to me that some hiccup when they realize that they're talking to 30 million people!
