I think Norv turner said it best when he said that Hochuli's explanation and call were "unacceptable". Brutal call at a critical moment. The NFL doesn't need officials to determine games, and unfortunately this time that is exactly what happened. San Diego is in a huge hole now and not because of their own doing. That being said, holy smokes is that Denver offense impressive with Cutler, Marshall, Royal and Schefler. They should be fun to watch this year....I have 3 of them in a fantasy pool. Sweet!
Minnesota better find a QB and quickly...Tavaris Jackson simply isnt an NFL level Qb at this point. Watching that game yesterday it looked like the Vikes coaches were actually hiding him from the game for fear he would make the big mistake....and it still didnt help. They are wasting the best RB in a generation by playing jackson and being forced to run run run. Good for the Packers though so IMO they should stay the course!!
Speaking of the Packers....Brett who?
Rodgers is proving a lot of people wrong including myself and I couldnt be happier. He honestly looks like he is playing his way into elite staus among NFL QB's...and that is on the youngest team in football. Unreal. the GB defense put up 22 pts in my fantasy league....unbelievable. 2 wins against division rivals goes a LONG way to securing the Norris division again.
How long a year is it going to be in Missouri? KC and St. Louis look like they might combine to go 4-28 on the season. Ouch. Seattle loses at home to San Fran?? Unacceptable. Maybe time for a re-do after Holmgren calls it quits after the year.
Lots of storylines early in this season....gonna be fun to watch.
