NFL Network is calling the 4th down spot controversial

[Fletch]

This was NFL Network, but there is some hate there too, but with better coverage/reporting.

Not by a lot. NFL AM is pretty brutal. Lavar and Eric Davis, along with that brunette girl are pretty bad.

Collinsworth is horrible. Fletch saw your movie last nite still great

There are football fans everywhere, even in the media.

Worst refereed game I've seen in a while.

I don't know what they were watching but that ball wasn't at the 30 yard line at any point. They even brought in a NFL official who explained it was the right call, but implied that the ball may have been at the 30 yard line before McClain made contact. Bull! That ball was nowhere near the 30 before or after contact.

They also called Dez's TD controversial. The official said the ball moved in his hands but it wasn't enough to overturn it? I saw the ball move at one point, but Dez clearly had control and the defender knew it by his reaction. Why not just give the Cowboys credit without implying that two great plays in a comeback win are controversial? At least ESPN's Mike and Mike gave the Cowboys credit for a great win.

This just in - the officiating was the worst I've seen all year in any NFL game. But they got the last call right. He wasn't close, and the side judge's spot was horrific.

Because the big game is thursday. do that thursday and thats all you will hear about.

Only if we lose will it be a big game.

After the way we got raped all night by the refs, they are complaining about the spot?

You could see from the international space station that he was short.

at this stage of the season they are all big games. The word "trap game" should not even be used, you have to win no matter who you are playing.

They can whine all they want.

There is a one word answer to what ails them...

I love how ESPN spent like 30 min talking about the catch and not a dam word about Romo driving the team for the win

They were so pissed the Giants lost, looked like the anchor on there with Dilfer was going to start crying


LOL

I actually like Eric Davis, but the rest of the clowns around him are terrible.

 

[fishspill]

Fans are the same everywhere. If I was a Giants fan today I'm saying the refs had it in for us and were trying to make-up for the fumble call they made by giving Dez that TD and saying the catch was short of the 30. Also the refs always love their Cowboys.

Dear NFL channel,ESPN and all the others out there in make believe land ...Giants lost ---Cowboys won.. Deal with it.

 

[camelboy]

You guys should have seen Michael Irvin's live reaction when the call was made on that 4th down. Hilarious to say the least. He was so nervous and once announced he just went crazy LOOOOL ... love the guy .. wish I could have the clip

 

[Gridiron Man]

The Giants brand is loosing stock. The NFL and the media are desperately trying to prop it up. Let's just be glad they don't have the need to inflate our value.

 

[Baileyneverfailey]

It was a pretty clear play. When he first caught it in the air he was pretty close to the line, but he came down behind the line, and not because somebody pushed him back. The forward progress stops where you were when a defender contacts you, and when the defender contacted him, he was clearly far short of the 1st down.

There were many calls that were controversial that went both ways. The better team won. Move on.

It's just to keep their ratings up. Anytime they talk about the Cowboys people listen.
