How can you watch a play, have someone trying to tackle all of a sudden fall on his face? Yea... block in the back.
How about the blatant 2 second head start the Niners offensive tackle got that wasn't called. There was a lot of calls going against or not in favor of the Packers early. Little stuff. So then they started not calling stuff against the Packers in the second half.

There was one play in the first quarter, Jennings got mugged, defender never even turned his head and after Rodgers threw the ball a defender dove and hit him helmet to helmet. I couldn't believe neither of those were called.

NCAA, their minor leagues or lesser divisions. Something like that.

Yea, even on that I was like "ok... if you can't catch false starts... wow"

Yea, I think every game had bad calls but they said in the beginning of the GB/SF game they said that officiating crew is knew to call the most penalties.

Yeah, all this just makes it frustrating to watch. We need the old refs back.

But on a lighter note, Peyton Manning looks as crisp as ever.

Even though I'm a niner fan, I thought it was hilarious when Davis missed the dunk!! Showboating is not my thing, glad he got humbled.

Yea, I laughed at that too. Never seen anyone get rejected by the Goal post!

Manning won, really efficient.

What can you say about all the QBs? RGIII is already one of the elite. His o-coordinator set him up the right way. Bunch of screens in the first quarter which led to a bunch of fakes later on in the game playing off those screens. But that wasn't just it, RGIII had some poise in the pocket, lasers all over the field with crazy velocity with a fling of his arm. Made some tough passes and took some hits, like his first TD pass to Garcon. His deep ball and out ***** were all pretty good.

Jets surprised me, all this talk about can't get a TD and they exploded.

Lots of high point games, didn't think I'd see so many 40+ pt teams.
Jets, Washington, Atlanta and Chicago.

RG3 showed up big time! Out of all the rookie QBs, he's got the best talent to work w/.

And yeah, epic fail by Vernon. Even I as a Niner fan.

Yeah so I raped people with Matt Ryan

So as a raider fan I am really not happy because my two least favorite teams
SF 49ers, and the denver broncos Looked awesome yesterday.

Peyton Manning is a class act, and I am calling them in the super bowl this year.
I never realized how many recieving targets he has, its gonna be ugly.
