This probably has to be #1 in all my years watching them. The other one that I remember was the phantom roughing the passer on Carlos Emmons against Michael Vick years back. What other ones am I forgetting?
Geez....I am convinced he confused who was on offense and who was on defense.....the offensive pass interference was obvious and seemed what drew the flag.
The fact that is was not at the least off-setting.
But the SF playoff game.....that the Giants pulled off a perfect OL option passed before he was tackled. .....with no call that caused us the game and continuing on in the playoff was the worst
...I was at game in San Fran in January 2003 and the league and Mike Perriera, then head of NFL officials, had to apologize the next day for blowing the call and the game and ending the Giants' season on the last field goal play.
And sadly, I think officiating in today's NFL is overall far worse. And that's saying something.
against the Giants late in a Cowboys game that cost the game. My dislike of that call by Texan referee Red Cashien and his defense of it, and his super annoying first down calls make him my most despised referee of all time.
The Booth phantom holding in the SB changed a Giants rout into a game where they needed the best pass of Eli's career to pull out a last minute come from behind victory.
in SF was the worst because it literally ended the season. So that is the top
The holding call on Keith Hamilton which erased the Armstead pick 6 and changed the entire Super Bowl still pisses me off.
There was 2 errors with that ... first ... he never held ... and second it was a RB who faked he had the ball after a hand-off ... If he had the hand-off Hamilton would have missed the tackle ... I haven't seen a DT called for such a hold since then .. even when the fake ball carrier was tackled down ...
The PI call on Sheldon White right before the Flipper TD
two of the then actually, boss had his knee in during the regular season. that should have been a td.
then the fumble in the division game.
I remember being pretty pissed off at the refs in the GB game but the Giants still won. I thought it was a playoff game that I was pissed about though. A fumble that was so terribly obvious but after review no less, it was determined to be down by contact. I can't remember all the bad calls but I remember there being a lot of them.

That incompetent fuck Triplette made a point at explaining it.
"The player impeded the receiver's ability to come back for the ball". Biggest load of horseshit ever.
Tackling by the helmet was about as big of a pile too.
Not a popular one but who remembers week 17 vs Philly in 2002. ALL the ridiculous calls against the Gaints, one being a "holding call" on offensive tackle Mike Rosenthal when HE was the one on the ground and pushed into it. I remember I thought I was crazy remembering that but then I watched the game over again about more than a year ago and I was right
DRC was playing the football, head turned around. He - and any defender - has as much of a right to the ball as the receiver. Incidental impediment is NOT pass interference.

Just horrific.
If that's today's explanation, it's fucking ridiculous. DRC had inside position - is he supposed to lay down the red carpet and ask the WR if he wants to have first crack at catching the ball?
Is that explanation for the nonsense PI from today's game or another fuck up of his?
But keep in mind - this was the same crew that couldn't see Duke Johnson immediately come out of a pile with a football and awarded a fumble to the Redskins incorrectly and never reviewed it.

they're saying DRC "briefly grabbed perriman's jersey beforehand..which was basically amount to a swat of jersey.

I don't know how they get away with this with the alleged grading system. At some point incompetence must be eliminated. Watch members of this crew get plum assignments in the playoffs rather than the swift kick in the ass and out the door they deserve.
Thank you Gerry Austin (who btw also was R in Super Bowl XXXV with the phantom defensive holding).
Bill Carollo nudging the ball against Philadelphia after the Eagles were just short of the 1st
Yeah that made up penalty of the "Tackling by the Helmet"...There is no such thing in the rule book. That was a game I am 100% positive the NFL wanted the Rams to win no matter what. They were the golden child back then
Or are the Giants habitually always in the shit end of the stick when it comes to bs calls in games. I can't remember the Last time a bs call went in favor of the Giants.
First game on Sunday Night Football. First Manning Bowl.
Giants are running pretty well on the Colts.
Then a phantom OPI on Tim Carter where there wasn't any contact with the defender...
The very next play is an interception, game over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EDtCL3n5yI - ( New Window )
I forgot about this one. Awful, the stadium went nuts.
I'll always remember the phantom roughing the passer call on Rothlesberger in 2004 - another game-altering call. Foreshadowed that Pittsburgh would win the Super Bowl due to shady calls that stole the game from Seattle.
Mark Collins PI in the playoffs v Flipper Anderson...

ha - this was the first one that popped into my mind. Thanks for posting the link. Officials miss calls all the time, but this is an example of a ref inventing a penalty that didn't occur.
He "impeded the receiver's ability to come back for the ball" by beating him to the ball. That's all he did. It was great defense.
I was sick today. It was an awful call and they make it worse with stupid ass explanations like this horseshit.
Nothing was worse than the 2002 SF call. I was at that game too. Sickening. Clear as day what the call should have been and those pussies didn't want to call it.
"with full body weight" is one of my personal favorites.
I forgot about this one. I can't remember if it was Tuck or whoever, but the fact that someone used their "full body weight" is what stuck in my head. I mean, a big man, going full speed, should be able to change course mid-collision and land "softly" on the QB, right?
I think some of you are fuzzy on Hamilton's defensive holding
Mentioned here, alot by hochuli, the obj end zone catch, that was a catch but, hochuli saw it differently. Last year that was. Guy hates the giants, always makes bad calls against them.
RE: Mark Collins PI in the playoffs v Flipper Anderson...
...blatantly awful call that determined the outcome of a home playoff game and may have ultimately denied us another chance at a Championship.
That was on one of the Whites, either Adrian or Sheldon(can't remember which), not Collins.
The Tim Carter OPI was the first one that popped into my head. Literally, nothing happened at all. Completely imaginary penalty. The phantom holding call in the 2007 NFC title game that took away a touchdown is another.
I think it was Chris Calloway but no positive. He made a big catch in a big game and kind of slammed the ball down a little hard when placing it as he rose to his feet and they call unsportsmanlike conduct.
And illegal chuck in flipper game.
then the fumble in the division game.
The holding call on Keith Hamilton which erased the Armstead pick 6 and changed the entire Super Bowl still pisses me off.

The Hammer holding in the Super Bowl was the most painful.

It cost the NYG a legit SB shot.
I am not remembering the entire situation, but I do remember nobody on TV making any fuss and it seemed like a big deal to me.
