Don't forget the Steelers. I thought I was the only one who noticed that notoriously dirty teams (ahem, Patriots) are now suddenly getting penalties that they would never have been called for under the regular refs. Personally, I think it's made the game more exciting.

And, of course, the Steelers. Good catch.

What you have in the NFL now is genuine unpredictability. It may not necessarily be for the right reasons, but Roger Goodell is probably smiling. Everyone is talking about his league. For those who say that all publicity is good publicity, you're laughing all the way to the bank.

Call me jaded but I'd spend Sundays in past years wondering what the 'big' teams were going to do to get the big call they needed and would always seem to get. It's hard to dispute that this isn't happening at the present time.

It’s also pretty obvious that Tom Brady isn’t being protected by the officials like the precious flower he is. He’s playing like a guy who is suddenly remembering what it feels like to actually get hit week after week. I think any QB who doesn’t have this invisible band of official protection around him every weekend is probabaly laughing at these others whom no one is allowed to even breathe on or four yellow flags go flying through the air during a normal season. My grandmother could play QB in the NFL if she was allowed to stand back there like Brady or Manning with no touching allowed.
