When Will Ed Hochuli "Get That Call" To Officiate A Panthers Game Again?


Cookie Lyon

Recommended Posts

I know that Ed Hochuli was an alternate referee for the Panthers/Seahawks game on Sunday and I think that decision was made by the NFL to ease Hochuli back in, to officiate a Panthers game in the near future after the Newton/Hochuli controversy.He certainly won't be officiating any Panthers games for the rest of this season since the referee assignments are already set. Ed Hochuli will be the head referee for the AFC championship game between the Patriots and Broncos and Bill Vinovich will be the head referee for the Panthers and Cardinals game.

Clete Blakeman will be the head referee for the Super Bowl and I can't help but wonder if the NFL didn't assign Ed Hochuli to officiate the Super Bowl on purpose to avoid another controversy because of the possibility (hopefully it comes true) of the Panthers playing in the game.

What are your thoughts on this?

FYI Vinovich was the ref for the Colts game this year that had a few questionable calls go against us in the 4th quarter. However, he is the best ref in the NFL in my opinion and I'll take him 10 times out of 10 over Hochuli.

Hopefully, there won't be any questionable calls against the Panthers on Sunday, but I know there will be.

I know refs make mistakes and are only human, but I just want the game officiated fairly for both sides.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
