Back to observations... SNF, Terry McAulay's crew missed a couple of PF hits. A ding or two for sure, I'm sorry to say.

Can crews change uniforms based on the weather such as sleeve length and pants if weather changes? Do you mean in mid-game? Probably not without permission. The NFL has gotten to really micromanaging things on some odd levels, then allowing total freedom in others. Given the track record of how they regulated official's uniforms, I don't think they'd allow it. Try asking MP online. I'm going to submit a question myself, maybe he'll answer both of them. msn.foxsports.com/nfl/page/Mike-Pereira-FOX-NFL-Rules-AnalystI know that I've seen college crews wear long sleeves in the 1st half, and come out in short sleeves for the 2nd half, and vice versa. Then again, you have to remember that all they had to do was change their shirts, and not worry about switching from knickers to pants. To be honest, I don't know if they would have the time to change uniforms at halftime. Halftime of an NFL game only lasts about 15-18 minutes, and I think they have to be on the field 5 minutes before the 2nd half kickoff. Most college halftimes last at least 25 minutes, so that gives those officials more time to get changed.

And Fredfan why is my warning level back up? I didnt do anything wrong other than tell someone their grade of an official seemed like a farce.

Don't like Ed's call on the Cutler hit. He's a runner at that point and should not be afforded any protection that any other runner would have. The exception would be if a QB would slide(giving himself up).That is clearly not the case here and should not have been called IMO.

McAulay and crew weren't their usual tonight. I thought they missed a big hit on Miller and a few other calls.

In the Dallas/Indy game, the Indy player was called for "leverage," on a fourth down FG attempt, giving Dallas half the distance and a first down, which ultimately resulted in a TD. MP explained that it doesn't have to be jumping on the back of a teammate, just on anyone's back is a penalty, but my question is this...If the Indy player had blocked the kick, could that be considered a "palpably unfair act," thus allowing Dallas to be awarded the FG? No, it would be 15 yards and probably an auto-first down. At least 15 yards and repeat the down (for first down if the walk off is good enough for a first down). I don't think this rises to the "unfair act" level to award points.

A post of yours was flagged by a member of this board and after review, I deemed some of your comments inappropriate for personal attacks. I made appropriate edits to the post in violation. You've been warned before on this kind of behavior. This is your final warning. Any further action will result in a ban. Thank you.

McAulay and crew weren't their usual tonight. I thought they missed a big hit on Miller and a few other calls. My internet was down (thanks Comcast) so this is my first time on-line today. I had family commitments all day (taped one game to view later) but I was able to watch SNF. I agree with the above. McAulay's crew didn't have their best day. The game was administered with the typical McAulay efficiency and flowed right along. The crew got some big calls right; however I think they whiffed on some big calls. They missed the PF on the Ravens player for his hit on Miller (Carl Johnson phoned the NBC truck and said it should have been called). I'm not as sure that the hit that broke Ben Rothlesberger's nose but since the NFL wants to protect the QB, McAulay probably should have flagged it. C+ for McAulay's crew. His crew gets the "plus" because of a well-administered game.

Overall, I thought it was a tough week for the guys in stripes. Let's just call it an off week and hope they come back next week looking better.

Just saw a highlight of the Suh play. I think that's one that you have to let go. Still, even if Hochuli didn't throw the flag, it would have been 2nd and 1 with 8+ minutes left in the game. With the way everyone was making a big deal about it, I thought the play happened on a 4th down in the last 2 minutes of the game! I just saw the highlight on ESPN. It looked much worse in real time. I can see why Hochuli called it, but I think he should have passed on the flag.

Terry Mcaulay's crew blew a number of non-calls. Ist Quarter #92 Ngata forearm to the head of Roethlisberger that resulted in a broken nose. Later 3rd Quarter Helmet to Helmet #53 McClalin helmet to helmet to $83 Heath Miller that caused a concusion. In the 4th quater PI on #20 Mcfarland he ball was uncatchable. I would grade this crew an D-.

I respectfully disagree with your comments regarding the McFadden DPI if you are talking about the one where he gave a two hand shove to the Baltimore WR, forcing him out of bounds. Had he not done that I thought it was a catchable ball. Remember, the standard for catchable is not just where the player is/where the ball lands, but rather had the WR's process not been impeded by the DPI was the ball catchable. Even if you said uncatchable that was still clearly illegal contact which is an automatic first down, though not a spot foul
