As if we needed another reason to dislike the NFL’s replacement refs, during tonights Monday Night Football game between the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons, the group showed their inadequacies during this sequence.
After a flop by Asante Samuel that started a mini skirmish, the head ref announced a penalty on number 93 for the red team.

I kid you not. Falcons kicker Matt Bryant “has learned to mimic the distress call of an alligator.” Bryant has said that he has “had fun with it,” and he can actually practice it quite a bit – he lives in Florida, where reptiles are very abundant.

Michael Turner can’t find a rhythm on the field (28 carries for 74 yards this season) and now he is struggling off the field. Less than 5 hours following the Falcons 27-21 win over the Broncos Turner was charged with DUI and speeding, landing him in jail.
I don’t expect him to miss any time, unless the team levies a suspension, but Turner’s stock is pointing in the wrong direction...

Tonight should prove to be an exciting game when the Broncos roll into Atlanta to take on the Falcons. Both of these teams had promising starts in week 1 and handled their opponents rather easily. Peyton Manning became the "Manning of Old" around the Broncos third or fourth drive last week, speeding up to the line and running a no huddle offense to perfection. He has...

Both the Broncos and Falcons are coming off of double-digit wins in Week 1, albeit against much different teams.
The Broncos defeated the Steelers in Peyton Manning’s Denver debut, while the Falcons easily defeated the lowly Chiefs, who are playing like the worst team in football right now.
This game will be very evenly matched and will feature two explosive offenses.

I was watching the Broncos at Falcons game last night and I had a few thoughts. My first thought was I can't wait for Skip Bayless to say the Broncos should have kept Tim Tebow. Among other thoughts, I wondered if Willis McGahee could end up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.Let's examine.McGahee is 30 years old, and is playing in his ninth season in the NFL.

Most of you are probably sick of hearing about the replacement official situation in the NFL by now, but it is only getting worse. The officiating crew lost control of Monday night’s game between the Broncos and Falcons on multiple occasions. Knowshon Moreno fumbled in the first quarter and it was ruled that the Falcons recovered, despite the fact that a Broncos player came out...
