Scud's Studs (week 7 @ Carolina)

[GTripp0012]

The Redskins have not done well for officiating crews this year. I think they are supposed to get each crew once or something, so at least that part should improve going forward.

I doubt seriously that the each team is supposed to get each officiating crew once a season. That would be a scheduling nightmare for the league beyond belief.

Moreover, as the season gets into December and there are some games that are clearly more important than others, the league will be sure to have its higher graded crews working those games. It is sort of like the announcing teams.

Think about it; on Jan 1 2012 the Indy Colts wind up their season against the Jax Jags. Wanna bet that game is not covered by the network's #1 announcing team?

considering both of those teams have been on prime time FAR too often already... *sigh*
