I thought there was two DPI calls that were missed (one for STL and one for SEA).
The umpire fell backing out for a punt formation.
Just a little rusty from what I saw. Nothing that can't be worked out in a couple weeks though!

There were a number of gaffes over the first Sunday with the regulars that, had these calls been made by the replacements, the media would had renewed its feeding frenzy.
The biggest was the fumble by Sproles in the NO/GB game that could have victimized the Packers for the second straight week. It would have been interesting to hear the press conferences and read the tweets if GB hadn't come back to win that one.
