NFL acknowledges two missed calls to NYG

~whoops

 

[remdak]

Did they acknowledge the late hit on Romo on the final drive?

 

[Macnalty]

Nothing on our side like late hits by Moore on Romo?

 

[AzorAhai]

~whoops

Did it acknowledge that Dez was held down by Amukamara? Or that Mincey was being held on every play? I'd say the bad calls more than evened out.

 

[iceberg]

~whoops

did some calls go our way?

yes.

have they gone against us in the past?

yes.

part of the game both ways.

 

[JBS]

Did they also a knowledge that the Nyg are idiots?

The Giants got away with PI twice in the first quarter, any comments on that?

Also I loved hearing Collinsworth go from saying "There was no way that was PI" to saying "Well, it was PI but normally you have to do more than that for it to be called".

I can think of 3 plays where we got screwed off of the top of my head:

1) Dez was held down by the DB. Pass Interference should have been called, so that's a wash on the phantom call.

2) The Street interception. Romo was blocked in the back. Should have been 10 yards from the spot of the foul which would have put the ball on the 15 instead of the 1. They don't score a TD from the 15.

3) Late hit on Romo final drive. Should have given us another 15 yards and stopped the clock.

It was simply a poorly officiated game all around and it surely was not a one-sided affair in our favor. There were enough bad calls on both sides to go around and make it a poorly-called game for all.

Also, every team in the league is getting these responses from the league. Unless I'm mistaken teams send in plays for review after every game and then get back the results from the league. The only difference is that some teams try to make the results public - usually after a loss. It's strictly a CYA move by the coaching staff of the Giants. Easier to play the victim than admit you were beat fairly.

If NYG want to see what referees costing a team a game looks like, they should go watch the Dal vs GB game last season. Until then they can shove it.

I suspect that the NFL doesn't comment on call not made, unless specifically asked to do so. It's probably only calls that are made or reviewed etc. Just my guess.

The late hit non call against Romo was abysmal. Not sure how that wasn't spotted. Imagine if that had been Peyton Manning?

~whoops

Those same officials don't seem to ever admit to bad calls against the Cowboys, although...

They do, all the time. Garrett just doesn't publicize it.

Yep, the low-class organizations publicize it. Lions did it last year.

 

[ConstantReboot]

~whoops

Daniel Fells was not held. He was run blocking Church. Thus Church thought it was a run play at first. Daniel Fells kept on with this run blocking. Thus its not holding on Church and should have been a no call.

we're trying to cut back on redundancy.

 

[JDSmith]

Exactly. And then Mickey Spagnola got a copy of their report to the Cowboys where they admitted mistakes made against us. And I remember them talking about it and mentioning that every team does it. Many times it's for clarification, if a penalty was called against them they want to know if it was correct and what the reasoning was.

This is exactly the case. The Cowboys likely reported the missed/bad calls in their favor as well, but they did not issue a public statement over it. Let them ignore the fact that had the Cowboys not turned the ball over several times, they wouldn't even have been in the game.
