The matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns is one of the most compelling in Week 6, but referee John Hussey might not have gotten the memo. Hussey and his crew have NOT had a great game early on.
You expect missed calls like these at times…

The referees initially called this a face mask on the #Browns and it took them 3 minutes to talk this over and change the call. How do you get this wrong on the field, seriously? pic.twitter.com/044oy6XRv3

The referees called this short!!
The #Browns actually had to challenge the spot (because you can't challenge a measurement) to get this overturned. The rule says the nose of the ball has to extend to the marker.
Again, how does a whole team of referees get a measurement wrong?? https://t.co/BAePC3LZ9C pic.twitter.com/8tybxpDxfL

this is a fumble. He's trying to throw it, it slips out of his hand … one way or another refs blew whistle and refs cannot do that. Let it play out.
that is not a forward pass . . . #FTTB #Browns #SFvsCLE #49ersatBrowns#DawgPound pic.twitter.com/uKy1VckSta

…but when a ref gets the player AND the team wrong on a call, and then has to discuss it with the rest of his crew? That’s no bueno.

Perhaps it’s time to unplug Hussey, plug him back in again, and see what happens.
