Extreme w/l records are confusing. Vinovich and Parry both have extremely lopsided records. What are the odds.

i think this question implies all teams are evenly matched at kickoff, no?

That question raises a question.. what is the Saints record with Vinobitch calling their games?

Yep, if a ref had a .500 record with the Rams while Spags was coach, one might be inclined to think something was up...

The Saints are 6-0 at home with Brees at QB.

Refs?

Just watched the last CC game the Saints won. It was against Minny and Favre.

The game was tied at 28, the Vikes had the ball with about a minute remaining inside the Saints 40. They were far enough to kick a 51 yd FG. But they got nothing from Peterson on 2 straight runs, then got a penalty caused by crowd noise. Favre then turns it over and it goes into OT where another penalty gives the Saints great field position and they kick the game winner.

That’s the big concern with this game. If it’s close at the end the Saints have a tremendous advantage with that crowd noise and the influence it has on the calls.

the rams sucked for a long time, and their record under many different officiating crews reflected that (see below chart), yet that not only seems to shock some fans, but is also proof of ref fixing.

The league put Vinovich in a tough spot. If the Rams lose the game and there’s a bad call against the Rams that plays into the loss, that guy is gonna get raked over the coals.

honestly max, by who? saints fans?

my guess is it will be the handful of rams fans that think there's something to this stuff that will be doing all of the raking, and their outcry will be about as loud as pin drop heard from mars (for good reason if you ask me), nothing more than background noise made up of all of the other fanbases that scream foul when their teams loses.

I read that Rams are recently undefeated w the Super Bowl ref.

If Rams go to the SB, is the AFC team gonna start a petition?
