Bias Refs

Many of the screw ups of the Giants were legit - but can of you HONESTLY say that pass interference calls wasn't complete bullshit? For the first time in my history of watching football I have never seen the refs showing a CLEAR bias against a team.

It went both ways. The Giants line got away with murder in regards to holds. You can't argue all the offsides and Plaxico's dumb moves.

The Giants should've won that game, but mistakes gave it away.

Indy's D looked lethargic. If they play like that the rest of the year, they'll be another early playoff fizzle. Their D line was just manhandled and Tiki or Jacobs were 4 yards downfield before even seeing a defender.

Man come on. You can't say that finally interference call was legit. There's no way in hell. Even Madden was basically saying, "wtf.' The Giants weren't supposed to win and the refs made sure of it. I'd be real life money that if Indy had it wrapped up by two scores, that call would have never been made.

Hell, it wouldn't be the first time a bad call was intentionally made to ensure a team either lost or won.

I honestly think the Giants would have won if they had been able to keep that drive going. That bad call ended the game. Granted the Giants should have won that game big, they just screwed up to many times.

That's exactly my point. YES - the Giants screwed up a lot, but THAT call that just happened to be made during the last 2 minutes while the they were driving for a potential score? Man it was BULLSHIT. That bad call was not a "mistake" made by the refs - it was called to intentionally stop the drive to ensure the Giants would lose. They can't have the medias' golden boy Peyton getting beat by his younger brother on national tv, now can they?

Seriously people - when a call is so obviously fucked that even Madden notices it - something is wrong.

Oh, and let's not forget that little call at the end that took 10 seconds off the clock. I'm telling you, point blank, the referee(s) of that game did not want the Giants to win.

Yeah, that call sucked. The Giants really would have won, though, if they could have only stopped shooting themselves in the foot with the other penalties.

The secret society for the advancement & coronation of peyton manning (uh...I guess that works out to be S.S.A.C.P.M) are going to have a tough time this year, with the apparent lack of a running game - so there's some kind of justice out there ;)
