Hyperbole would be: A 2A high school team composed of physically-challenged kids could have marched up and down the field on this defense at will.

As for the truth, it was clearly stated in my post.

No hyperbole is what you typed. Those 3 drives were aided by missed calls.

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.

The line judge was two yards off the yard marker. Unbelievable.

In a critical moment of a given football game he needs to be on it.

So from his vantage point he spotted it where he 'thought' the ball was instead of being in position and calling as it happened.

I'm NOT defending him. He didn't do his job. He needs held accountable and corrected, but we all know this won't happen.

I can't fathom him making that call and being emphatic about it when he was DEAD WRONG.

I can't believe I'm saying this but thank God for mandatory instant replay.

There's no way they couldn't have reversed that. Cameraman was in perfect position. He's my MVP.

Nobody even mentioned the obvious false start on the first Giants touchdown that wasn't called either.

It was still offensive PI.

Yes, but I wouldn't have called it either, unless I also threw a flag on Carr for illegal contact.

The false start on the TD throw, the clear fumble on replay and holding Murray were obvious calls that they missed, with two of them resulting in TDs. New York might have scored anyway despite the false start, but it should have been called.

This has been one of those rare years where I don't think a majority of the bad calls have worked against Dallas, but this game was a throwback to the past few years. Thankfully, they at least got the last one right.
