I believe that the games are transmitted in HD, yes. But by the time the picture reaches you through the interwebs, there is some degradation. Some user-end connections are too slow to carry the weight of an HD data stream. And in my personal experience even with a fast user-end connection there are moments when the signal does look like HD and then moments when thinking in terms of HD is laughable.
At least part of this IMO is not the NFL's fault. I get the same experience watching shows from NBC.com and similar sites, for example. The internet still is not fully ready to handle lots of HD streaming.
