I don't know why we wouldn't protest this up front. If nothing else it would make it clear to this official that eyes are on him and that he better call an above board game.

McD5, I hope your right. I might be overreacting. But I still don't like it. Not in the playoffs...

I gotta agree with Beans. Revenge and/or bias for a perceived or real insult or slight is human nature and that should be taken out of the equation altogether. Any call he makes is going to be dissected from our end and I'll probably be among the first to call for his head.
Have him switch spots with the alternate and let HIM be the alternate instead.
As the play develops, he is responsible for judging the action near his sideline, including whether a player is out of bounds. During the start of passing plays, he is responsible for watching the receivers near his sideline to a point 5-7 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

Probably not a big deal. Now if he was going be the field judge, back judge or side judge I'd be furious.
The head linesman (H or HL) stands at one end of the line of scrimmage (usually the side opposite the press box), looking for possible offsides, encroachment and other fouls before the snap. As the play develops, he is responsible for judging the action near his sideline, including whether a player is out of bounds. During the start of passing plays, he is responsible for watching the receivers near his sideline to a point 5-7 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.
He marks the forward progress of the ball and is in charge of the chain crew with regard to its duties. In addition to the general equipment listed above, the head linesman also carries a chain clip that is used by the chain crew to properly place the chains and ensure an accurate spot when measuring for a first down.
