Jets game, notes

 During the game Jonathan Vilma was discussing the holding calls that no one can see as there were calls that befuddled everyone. Then there was another strange call, "improper helmet use" but no player number was given and there was no replay -- instead, the camera switched so we can watch the guys in the booth chat. Eventually there is a replay and Vilma says, "he doesn't use his helmet at all" (which, I believe he says be cause he is assuming that the penalty was on a player involved in the tackle whereas I think the refs were finding something to call on a player off the ball and no one knew that that was what they were talking about because somebody was off book).

Despite the spate of questionable calls, no one thought to consult rules expert Dean Blandino until the 4th quarter. Greg Olsen had been complaining about the officiating since the 3rd quarter of the 49ers-Eagles game. Everyone sees it!
