How much does it cost to get the Red Zone channel? We have it available as well, I just didn't figure I would get it since I keep track of what is happening in other games online. If it is fairly inexpensive, I might go for it.

Anyone else see the offensive pass interference call against Heath Miller to nullify the Steelers' first TD? Can someone explain to me if that was actually the correct call? It sure seemed like bullshit to me.

Looks like Slaton on the bench in both leagues was not a good idea.

Looks like my playing against Slaton AND Phillip Rivers in fantasy football this week is not a good idea.

Yeah, I didn't understand the call since the hit came basically at the line of scrimage.

I depends on your cable/satellite provider.

For Comcast, it comes part of the Sports Package, which is $8 per month. For $2 a week, that's pretty sweet. Just remember to cancel it once the regular season ends.

I didn't see the play, but that sounds like it could have been an illegal pick which is technically offensive pass interference.

I don't remember a game where it was 100% properly managed in all facets of the game for the Vikings. Usually there is MORE than just one issue.

He is way too conservative and that is a huge problem. He cannot manage time for shit. He's a horrible challenger. The list could go on and on yet he'll get a nice extensions because the Vikings have top three talent in the NFL.

Sydney Rice is emerging as one of the better WRs in the NFL with Favre at the helm. He just made an amazing catch that was lofted up way too softly from Favre. Got both feet in before getting crushed at the sideline.

At least Chilly will get that challenge correctly.

Have been very impressed with him off the bench. I just can't understand why the 49er's have been so reluctant to use the spread a lot more. It's clear he can be a very effective QB in that system.

Also, I love what I'm seeing from Michael Crabtree today. He's got great hands.

Regardless if the 49er's tie/win the game, you have to give Smith the start against Indy based on this performance. Right?

I would if I was the coach. From what I've seen, he's looked great and he might pull off this comeback.

Been focusing on the Steelers/Vikings game today and I have to agree how horrific the refs have been. Phantom holding/tripping calls all over the place. This is another one of those games where you just shake your head. On a lot of these calls, we aren't talking about difficult decisions. The supposed trip was right in the middle of the field with nobody to distract the ref. Just a horrible call. (and no, the return doesn't make up for it, the Vikings SHOULD have been up 4 with the Steelers having the ball now)

Alex Smith is going off in that Texans/Niners game. Sensational.

So I want to get this straight. Heyword-Bey gets the entire preseason in. Six full games, 2 catches. Crabtree comes in after six regular season games, has a bye week of practice and catches 5 balls for over 50 yards? good job Mr. Davis. Please stay healthy.

last thing I saw before finishing this up was All Day destroying somebody. What a player.

That's one of those where the guy should have stopped at the 1 yard line, right? Now the Vikings have one minute to get 10 points. Not likely, but it would have been game over.

I liked how the Steelers' Ryan Clark (#25) kept looking back to see if he was going to have to try and block the Vikings huge lineman (Loadholt?) #71 on that return.

Uggghh.

Chester usually has good hands but I completely disagree with that play call. Screens were not working all day long and it costs us the game. 14 points on defense for the Steelers and the refs help a little, too.
