Oh man I forgot about that should have been grounding penalty on Eli. I loved how the commentators really didn't even try and defend it. They just sort of scoffed at it like it wasn't even worth their breath trying to rescue the refs from their ineptitude.

After the game they were talking about what a great game eli had. Nevermind Romo being perfect i hate yhe eastern producets

Eli didn't have a great game. Eli was all over the place. He had Beckham having some really great catches in the first half that got them to that lead. Eli seemed like what he was to me, an average QB who is upgraded by the Media because of bloodlines.

I can't believe they actually reversed the spot. Between that, and picking up the flag because of "taking a flop" I'm pretty speechless.

Not saying they didn't blow calls, because that happens every game. But I'm pretty sure the majority of crews don't reverse that call, or pick up that flag.

It was like... Keep it close for giants....


The.... We want cowboys to win so give them some calls.

I read something once about how the media production jobs tend to be filled by a college in NY, which is fed be the NE. So it isnt far fetched that producersl lean toward thd Giants.

Wouldn't be surprised... the two major film schools are NYC and UCLA I think.

The Cowboys beat the Giants and the refs. Good teams find a way to win in any circumstances. One thing this team has, is the ability to fight and claw for a win. The non- holding call on that pass to Demarco was disgusting.

Refs looked like they were shaving points out there, the non call of the grounding penalty when the dang TE's back is turned and he's basically blocking? The would be overturn of the fumble, the initial spot of the ball that luckily got overturned the OPI. Yeah those calls were BAD! Hopefully we get a crew on our side of the point spread next time.

The fact that the TE was blocking isn't relevant. The fact that the ball was 5+ yards wide of the TE is the issue.

I honestly don't understand the intentional grounding rule and I doubt the refs do either.

I hate to pile on but this was one of the worst officiated games I've seen in a while. Horrible calls on both teams.

Give me full time refs. PLEASE!

This was clearly the worst officiated NFL game I have watched this entire season..................everything from the fumble that was clear as day to spotting the ball a full 2 yards of where the receiver actually was.............just ridiculous

Hope we don't get this crew again this season, wouldn't surprise me if they were point shaving out there.....................somebody needs to check their bank accounts this week for some large deposits:laugh:.

Still sitting on Carter's thigh, no forearm down, and no knee/shin down.


Insane how this couldn't have been a clearer call. It's one thing if its miscalled in live action, but quite another to have these standstill/slowmotion clips and STILL not make the right call.

I'm so glad this isn't haunting us now as the play that would have won us the game.
