The Falcons are looking tough this year. Glad they stomped SD today. Let the Raiders catch up a bit.

KC stomped so they are back. They should be a playoff contender. Saints don't deserve a win. Steelers are dirty and their play is justifies this. Let's hope Heyward-Bey will be ok. Funny, the announcers were saying that's one guy you don't want to mess with, talking about DT Richard Seymour. Matt Shaub and Mike Tyson now have something in common. Funny, first flag on the Raiders was on DT Tommy Kelly, I think anyways. And I also think he drew the first flag for the Raiders to start the season.
Raiders take a second place at 1-2 and Broncos lose so only a game out. Oh and they play in Denver next week so le't see if Oakland will run away with this. McFadden is coming back. And our second string HB returned a KO for some good yardage.

So to start out shout out to the raiders! Sweet to see em win still in really weak division so defiantly have a shot. Second WOW...I really didn't think the college/arena football refs would make that much of a difference, but they are out there changing game outcomes....horrible call at the end of seattle greenbay game. harbough getting two extra timeouts/challenges and tons of other mistakes...I know all refs make mistakes and blow huge calls part of the job...but to do it at this consisency and litterally having it change the outcome of games, well I hope it improves but till it does I think j lang guard on green bay tweeted it best.

Regardless of correct or not, the NFL "did" say that he should have been called for offensive pass interference prior to the catch which would have nullified the whole thing.

About the Refs,, I heard on the news last night that all that's holding everything up is a three million dollar difference in what the refs want. If this is true, to the owners it's a drop in the bucket. Oops showed my age with with that cliché. Somebody is going to get hurt without the penalties for late hits and etc.

This from WEEI.com:
According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the NFL and the NFL referees association have an agreement "at hand" that could end the lockout of the league's referees and have them officiating Week 4 games.
Writes Mortensen:
The NFL and the NFL Referees Association made enough progress in negotiations Tuesday night that the possibility of the locked-out officials returning in time to work this week's games has been discussed, according to sources on both sides.
An agreement in principle is at hand, according to one source familiar to talks.
The NFL has been using replacement officials since the preseason and has seen controversial results throughout the first three weeks of the season. Mortensen notes that the two sides have compromised in their stances regarding pension plans and that the last remaining obstacle is "about a little more money," according to the source.
