NFL acknowledges two missed calls to NYG

[trickblue]

You know they have to throw Mara a bone...

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.

I really wish they would just publish a list of blown calls for every game. Transparency will do wonders for fans and give the referee's incentive to do better.

Gotta love this. Wonder if they admit these mistakes had the Giants won. This is pretty ridiculous. The NFL makes me so sick with all these rules, incompetent officiating and excuses like this after the game.

 

[Doomsday101]

I would cry for them but no one has ever cried for the Cowboys. Calls get missed in a game. Just as players make mistake, just as coaches make mistake so do Refs. Sucks being human.

i love how the NFL is so quick to acknowledge missed calls on us and not missed calls for us. its like why even do this.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Please,,, the NFL front office has already exposed itself as an entity that makes declarations based upon political expediency and public opinion. I've got about as much faith in them as I do the traitors on Capitol Hill.

I thought the PI was a fair call. DRC grabbed Williams' shoulder and Williams immediately slowed. (Of course, he was slowing to jump for the pass, but the official is just watching for the contact and reaction to the contact.)

I agree that Church held, but he was holding within the numbers within the allowable range for contact. Fells came off like he was blocking for a run and Church latched onto him. Again, if Eli threw it that direction it would have been interference.

I don't understand why teams are allowed to release these acknowledgements. If the league is going to allow it, the NFL should just release all of them since all teams have refuted calls.

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.

That is exactly how I saw it. Fells was blocking like there was no way Eli would throw the ball. He was just as shocked as the rest of us when he actually threw it.

I thought the PI on TWill was a terrible call. I didn't see any "turning of the shoulder", barely any contact.

I thought the PI on TWill was a terrible call. I didn't see any "turning of the shoulder", barely any contact.

I thought that one was terrible too. But I felt we got screwed when either Dez mysteriously forgot how to jump or the DB was holding him down on the first drive. Both penalties would put us at the goal line, so it's a wash.

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.

referees had the call correct on the field...........it was the NFL front office that called by NYC with "advice" on the replay call........

 

[RJ_MacReady]

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

Does Romo play for the NEW YORK Giants?

Except they mentioned the no-call with Fells.

What gets me is that they missed multiple calls that should have gone in Dallas' favor. Yet no mention...or at least not yet.

 

[Seven]

This just in......Dallas won.

I'd argue that the PI was a ticky tack call with the way they were calling the game. They let Dez be tackled before the ball got there in the end zone without a call. If that's not DPI nothing is.

 

[erod]

They're trying to make Mara feel better about Brady.

 

[xvendettax914]

This stuff is getting old. It's like they do anything to discredit a win for us lately.

 

[ThrowuptheXDez88]

This is ridiculous that reporters even put this crap out there.. Dez couldn't jump b/c he was blanketed by the Prince kid, Romo was blocked in the back & the Giants should've had the ball at the 15.. Moore clearly hits Romo well after he releases the football on the first play of the game winning drive..

 

[xwalker]

~whoops

Did they acknowledge that ODBj fumbled before he was down?

 

[Floatyworm]

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.

Re-watched the game last night......and for sure Mincey was getting mugged. Especially when they ran a twist...and he was the DE coming inside....Pugh was late on the switch just about everytime....and was holding on for dear life. Yet.....not even 1 holding call.

 

[Derinyar]

Did they acknowledge that ODBj fumbled before he was down?

But he hadn't become a runner! What ever the hell that means. I'm guessing it means that the NFL can call plays like that how the hell ever they want to.
