I see why you hate Painter. that over-throw was dreadful.

the good news is that Indy's D looks very, very good tonight. I would not want Mathis and Freeny anywhere near me.

Haha, Painter (or Sorgi, I forget) did the exact same thing the last time he came in during that 14-0 or so Colts season that they gave up.
 
That was pretty clutch but this feels like a FG for the Steelers coming up if they can block for 2s. Scott looks so overmatched right now.

Crazy season. Three of the four undefeated teams are the Redskins, Lions, and Bills (as well as the Packers, which isn't exciting). This is the first time since 1980 that both the Lions and the Bills have started 3-0.

I'm wondering, though, what's the deal with officials holding up the game to figure out meaningless calls? And why do they always seem to take much, much longer to figure out the meaningless calls than the important ones? I remember hearing about a Broncos game a week ago where several players all "caught" the last pass of the game at the same time, it was ruled an interception on the field, and ten minutes later they come out to an empty stadium to announce that the ruling on the field was confirmed. And on the last play of regulation in the Vikings-Lions game, the Vikings tried the whole lateral-shuffle thing which didn't work with the very first lateral being an obvious forward pass. They were tackled well before reaching the end zone, so it's a meaningless call. But despite it being the end of regulation either way, and despite it being a blindingly obvious call even before seeing any instant replay at all, the officials had to take several minutes to review the play and declare it an illegal forward pass.

I guess I can understand for the statisticians out there, but can't they just get the rest of the game underway if the call isn't going to have any effect?
