[Prime Time]

Brad Allen is working the third London game of the season between the Cardinals and the Rams.

Allen's 2017 NFL officiating crew consists of umpire Fred Bryan, down judge Jim Mello, line judge Brian Bolinger, field judge Tom Hill, side judge Jabir Walker, and back judge Shawn Hochuli (the son of senior NFL referee Ed Hochuli).

At this point they've pretty much screwed everyone in some fashion or another.

Why does Allen's name ring a Bell!?! And No, he doesn't make me think of our Great Coach George Allen! But there is something about Brad Allen that I just can't think of!?!

Is this the one that kind of looks like he has breasts?

As long as it's not Jerome Boger and his Mary Poppins crew who F--k the Rams.

I think he reminds me of some annoying comedian actor I can't think of right now.

Ref gives laughable excuse for fumble call
The refs decision was arguably worse than the call itself.

Referee Brad Allen didn't shower himself in glory with his blown call, but the excuse he used might be even worse.

Speaking to Master Tesfatsion of the Washington Post, Allen gave his reasoning behind awarding the the Eagles the fumble and resulting touchdown, which cost the Washington Redskins a chance at a potential game-winning drive.

According to Allen, Kirk Cousins "didn't have control of the ball in his hand" and that he had to "go with his gut" on the blown call. It's an excuse that's unlikely sit well with the Redskins or fans, who were livid upon the call being announced on the field.

Although the Redskins were dismal all afternoon, they still had a chance at what would have likely been a game-winning drive. Instead, they were robbed of that chance by an inexcusably bad call, made even worse that it wasn't overturned after replay.

The Redskins will have to go back to the drawing board this week, and come back ready to go next week against the Los Angeles Rams. If they show they can bounce back, then it may allay fears of yet another disappointing season.

For the time being, at least.

Hooray for George, hooray at last, hooray for George, he's a horse's ass! .

I don't know him off the top of my head but at this point I've just accepted that all of the refs are complete shit and will make at least a couple of head scratchers every game and miss a ton more. Just got to pray it's not a game changing one.

If they call a fair game and don't lean towards one team, I'm cool. It's when they call a hold on one team but overlook it on another, in other words unfairly supporting one team. Also need to call something when it's obvious and not let things go. That's unfair. Do that and you are cool, otherwise "Refs You Suck!"
