Game isn't over but the Steelers are really controlling the Broncos and keeping Manning off the field.

No kidding. Good for Manning, but hate to see the Steelers lose.

Lots of respect for the Steelers, but also a lot for Manning as well. It was good to see him back. The NFL is just not right without him. I am good with the win, and would have been happy either team winning.

Andy Reid never should have let him go...especially since Henery missed a 43 yarder.
Other than McCoy, Eagles O looked pathetic.

Wow, did not do as good as I wanted to. Keeping Rodgers in was still the right thing to do, missed the call on a few others. Happy to see the 49ers win, there were a few crappy calls on both sides, but many fair ones as well.

Should never get too crazy about week 1 in the NFL, but a few observations anyway.....
1) The road to the Super Bowl in the NFC might go through San Francisco.
2) Jets receivers are better than I thought (not to mention their O line).
3) RG3's performance was awesome (best of the five rookie starters, by far).
4) Peyton looked like he never left!
5) Green Bay did not fix their D.
6) Cowboys are pretty good.
7) The replacement refs aren't as bad as I thought they would be.
Again, it's only been one week, so this all could change.

You did not watch the Niner/Packers game did you?
Wrong calls and missed calls all game against both teams. The refs also through a flag on the Green Bay TD return, which was a blatent and obvious illegal block from behind, only to take it back and allow the TD.
Like I said though they were making bad calls for both teams, all game long.

Yeah, the officiating was terrible across the board.

Saw the entire game. Agree the missed block in the back on the return was a bad missed call, but I didn't see bad calls all game long.
Also, no game in week one was decided by a bad/blown call.
If week one was an officiating disaster, the NFL would be settling with the officials very quickly.
Most of the media football analysts gave the replacements passing grades.

I heard they already have a plan to use the replacement ref's through week 5. The NFL is showing no signs of giving in to the regular refs.

Several Offensive Pass Interference Calls not called against both teams.
Several Defensive Pass Interference Calls not called against both teams.
Several bad placements of the ball.
Almost every flag was thrown late.
The penalty against Aldon Smith for unsportsmanlike conduct was BS, as he was only trying to get the helmet off of his head where it had slipped upward and blocking his site. The replay of it was obvious and they easily could have looked at it. They refused to do so.
Several penalties against Green Bay for roughing the passer that were not needed.
Even the commentators were talking about it throughout the game, and both coaches commented on it after the game.
Fortunately as we both have said, no game was decided by the refs, but they are still terrible.
Anyhow...
