Week 4 - Texans at Bills

Replay official: Saleem Choudhry Replay assistant: Chad Adams Position change: Codey (LJ→DJ)
			Yrs	2020 crew	2019 crew	College	Occupation
R	62	Ron Torbert	12			Michigan State	attorney
U	131	Mark Pellis	8	*	Cheffers	Allegheny	financial advisor
DJ	16	Kevin Codey	7	Hill	Hussey	Western New England	middle school physical education teacher
LJ	84	Mark Steinkerchner	28	Smith	*	Akron	vice president
FJ	25	Ryan Dickson	5	Corrente	*	Utah	commercial real estate developer
SJ	7	Keith Washington	14	Hill	(swing)	Virginia Military Institute	program financial analyst
BJ	67	Tony Josselyn	4	(swing)	*	Eastern Kentucky	probation officer

 

Back to crews that were involved in losses? Maybe.  The last few games we had a Ron Torbert led crew...

Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots - December 28th, 2020 - win 38-9

Kansas City Chiefs at Buffalo Bills - October 19th, 2020 - loss 17-26

Buffalo Bills at Cleveland Browns - November 10th, 2019 - loss 16-19

 

 

 

That's gotta be awkward if someone gets caught at the game drinking by the back judge, as one of his probationers...

Week 5 - Bills at that other Native American team that no one cares about the name

Week 12 - Bills at Saints

 

†Substitution: Madsen died following Week 7. Replacement not yet named.
			Yrs	2020 crew	2019 crew	College	Occupation
R	122	Brad Allen	8			Pembroke State	non-profit CEO
U	102	Bruce Stritesky	16	*	Vinovich	Embry Riddle	airline pilot

RO		Carl Madsen†	12	—	Hochuli	Washington St. Louis	office furniture rep, retired NFL official (U, 12 seasons)
RA		Larry Hanson	2	—	NA	California-San Diego	health and safety

 

We haven't seen much of Brad Allen and his crew.  Last year just one time, in the playoffs...

 

Wild Card - Indianapolis Colts at Buffalo Bills - January 9th, 2021 win 27-24 Bills 2-7, Colts 2-10

 

Before that you'd have to go all the way back to October 2018. Seems to be a fair crew, it's unusual for any team to have 10 or more penalties in a game.  The only team to get more than 10 penalties so far from his crew this year? The Pats*, back in October against the Cowboys, 12-115.  Maybe we'll get a fair called game.  Or maybe we'll really see how badly the team can be.  Or maybe the food coma will kick in and we'll fall asleep before the game even starts.

Week 13 - Cheaters at Bills

 

Position change: Perlman (DJ→LJ)
			Yrs	2020 crew	2019 crew	College	Occupation
R	52	Bill Vinovich	16			San Diego	certified public accountant
U	115	Tony Michalek	20	*	Rogers	Indiana	chief executive officer
DJ	106	Patrick Holt	3	Torbert	Boger	North Carolina State	IT manager
LJ	9	Mark Perlman	21	Corrente	*	Salem	teacher
FJ	57	Joe Blubaugh	2	Blakeman	NA	Pittsburg State	regional sales manager
SJ	86	Jimmy Buchanan	13	Smith	Blakeman	South Carolina State	food service director
BJ	82	Jimmy Russell	3	Allen	Allen	Pasco Hernando State	insurance agent
RO		Mark Butterworth	5	—	Vinovich	Walsh	non-profit COO
RA		Yvonda Lewis	3	—	Allen	Prairie View A&M	system administrator

 

Last time this crew did a Bills game, was last year, last week of the season, and the AFC Championship.

 

Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills - January 3rd, 2021 win 56-26, Bills 3/16, Dolphins 2/20

AFC Championship - Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs - January 24th, 2021 loss 38-24, Bills 4/38, Chiefs 3/32

 

Seems to be a crew that lets players play, instead of demonstrating their flag throwing skills.

Clete?  What, going by his full name "Cletus" didn't sound quite stupid enough?   "Hi, I'm Cletus Blakeman.  Call me Clete."  How about I call you a &#%$ing idiot instead?  Go sit at the overgrown man-child table with Scooter Libby.
