So Rammy who should be penalised
The guy who hit the player
Or the player who got hit and threw the ball at his attacker
Or both of them

Think about it, I shove you and its not seen by the officials, the crowd starts shouting so all the officials look over, just in time to see you throw the ball at me. Flags fly!!

Trust me Charlemagne, the guy who retaliates is always the one who gets penalized

Not sure how the Niners will cope with being one of the favourites after last seasons sucess.After watching their first two games they look like they have more to offer on Offence this season.

the 49er's looked good on sunday good defense and offence.

i am currently watching the broncos falcons game and the officials lost control for about 8 minutes in the 1st quarter with only 2seconds of play left after a screwball scramble after a fumble.

the international series game at wembley could be the best one yet patriots v rams with rams being the home side for the next 3 years.

However the Rams have now backed out of that deal and been replaced by Jacksonville Jaguars who will play at Wembley for 4 years 2013-2016

if the ref dispute continues to the international game at wembley the nfl will be using local refs and mike carlson said they would be auditioning for refs.

very controversial end to the monday night game between seattle and green bay at seattle last night. seattle won 14-12 on a very controversial hail mary touchdown.

seattle qb wilson launched the ball into the endzone and a seattle wide reciever and a green bay defender both came down with the ball and the call on the field was touchdown even though one official was signalling touchdown and another ref signalled interception/game over the play was reviewed and the td stood. was so controversial there was a 10 min delay before seattle kicked the pat

the refs lost control at one point in the raven/patriots game where a stoppage in play lasted 8 minutes. the commentators and mike carlson reckon the players and coaches are doing things which would not happen if the regular refs were around like in some cases roughing up the qb after he is grounded or after the ball is released. one of the line refs threw his flag in has he saw a raven pushing off from a patriot player for ravens 3rd td in the 3rd quarter but the other line ref overrulled and so did the replays. i have seen some helmet on helmet clashes which have gone unpunished.

just broke on the nfl website that the nfl and the referees have reached an agreement on the dispute and the regular officials will start refereeing games from tonight's game between baltimore ravens and cleveland browns

great news

thats great and no disrespect to the replacements who some have done good work but it was the few that made the news for the wrong reasons, the nfl were step up too big because the nfl could not get the refs from the league below the NFL.

Matt Ryan got sacked 7 times today. But still put up 360 yards and 3 TDs. Also drove the Falcons down the field from the 1 yard line with less than a minute to go with no timeouts, setting up the game winning field goal.

Jay Cutler, take notes. That's what you do when your O-Line is playing shit, you don't start screaming at them. you lead by example.

Cam Newton looked pretty good today. Protected the ball well until that final play on 3rd down.
