I Don’t Get It: The NFL is looking foolish with its decision to use replacement refs. The call at the end of the game that a Vick forward pass was a fumble almost cost the Birds the game.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to Juan Castillo. Not much is being made of it but the Eagles defense has been very solid.
