I can see that and Hochuli probably should have eaten the whistle there. Even the best make mistakes, I guess. Hochuli one of the best in the league? I don't pay much attention to the refs unless its a Cowboys game, but everytime he's reffed for us he's been borderline [expletive]. Really? He's normally a very good ref. Excellent reputation and I've only seen a couple of his games where I've had any questions about him. I also like how he's very specific about his explanations on confusing calls. Last year in our opening game vs. the Giants, Ware was held all night long. In several cases flags were thrown, only to be picked back up. Some of his excuses for the picked up flags in that game were "the player being held wasn't a factor in the play, no penalty" and "No penalty because the player ran through the hold". He also reffed a game this year in the preseason and made several terrible calls. One of the players called him out saying that sometimes he throws flags just so that he can show off his body to the cameras. He's known to most Cowboys fans as Ed Hock-a-loogie (though Hocules and "Guns" are also popular). I remember the Giants/Cowboys game from last year, but that's only one of two or three that I remember him struggling in. Every time he's reffed the Titans or another team I've watched, he's been excellent.
