too soon for an NFL thread?

[pixburgher66]

The refs are clearly too excited to be back in this game...because this is FREAKING RIDICULOUS. They're just calling everything today. Most of it is slop, but cripes. The one they called on a punt was just stupid.

Also, Michael Vick is turrrrrrible. Second, nearly third, fumble of the day. One was at the four yard line, this on their own 30. One was overturned, rightfully so, but he's playing like a moron with the ball.

 

[pixburgher66]

Both teams fighting for who can be the worst offense.

 

[pixburgher66]

There have been probably a dozen flags. It's the start of the second.

Pretty sweet catch by Reggie Wayne - That will be on all the highlight packages.

They're not calling holding when Wallace is the receiver, though. He's been held while the ball was in the air twice with no call.

And I don't like either of those personal foul calls. One for a helmet to helmet on a runner and one for forearms to shoulder pads.

Kurt Coleman today...tackles Antonio Brown with 40 seconds left in the half, time winding, grabs AB's shoe and WHIPS it to the opposing sideline. Third quarter he decided to jump, with both feet on top of the back of Pouncey, who was getting himself up after a play. I mean, he box jumped our center.

I didn't mind the Clark one, but the Mundy one was terrible. Those two calls gave them a TD...meanwhile Coleman's antics have been ignored completely. As well as the holding all over Wallace. I don't mind ignoring the Wallace stuff, but they set the precedent early with a call on Ike.

Whew...Ben is just having himself a fan-freaking-tastic year.

Steelers player of the game was definitely Mendenhall though. Sealed the win with some great runs, had an extra burst...it's nice having a real RB back there.

Pretty sure I know which one you were talking about but he destroyed the Packers D today!

Seahawks D is boss, but Pete Carroll and co really need to take the restrictions off Wilson. He's a rookie and he's gonna make mistakes, but I believe the offense will do better letting Wilson be Wilson than it will dumbing down the offense to the point that the other team knows exactly what you're gonna do. 14 points per game isn't gonna cut it against the big boys.

On the bright side, the Seahawks won in Carolina for the first time in team history. Good stuff there.

The Chargers shouldn't have bothered to go to New Orleans. I thought the replacement refs were bad, but tonights game was ridiculous. I know my team hasn't gotten many calls in their history & for a Chargers fan to expect every game to be called fairly is probably asking for too much, but give me a break.

 

[Comeds]

Well in my Pickem league this week I am 10-3. Three others have 9 wins. So the worst I can do is tie for the week. I am unsure of Yahoos tie breaking system so hopefully I win outright. Hopefully they have the MNF picked the same as me. I could use the $100 prize.

Everytime I see Ed as the Referee of a Chargers game I know my team is going to lose.
