NFL officiating continues to be terrible.

And there were several very blatant missed calls on basic stuff like holding

would have helped us

I have watched football, basketball and baseball for more than 60 years. I’ve had a very good understanding of all the rules in every sport until the past decade of the NFL. Sure there are hair splitting judgement calls in other sports, but it seems every week I see something called in the NFL that comes as a surprise. Last week I learned you can full body tackle a receiver so long as the QB is unable to get off the pass. This week it was you can’t so much as touch the snapper on a place kick. I keep asking myself why I keep watching. Alas the Giants are an addiction.

After review, the "reviewers" (whoever they are) determined that Diggs did score (which was a no brainer) but that Cook was blocking someone in the endzone before the catch (which he wasn't). He was running a pattern. It was truly shocking

into the game with that stupid flag, come on.

And someone is getting a fine for the launch-helmut hit.

That Tomlin really was unhappy with.

Almost clear it was a fumble live, Saints run it back

half way down the return, idiot ref is blowing the play dead. That's right, can't review, play over...wow

I guess they are still giving them the TO, but that's on the other end of the field

even the announcers / perera are bitching about it, esp NO getting the short end again...

That was horrible. The Saints should just walk off the field

this in a game that Brees was hurt & is out...so Bridgewater is running things

Tough times to be a Giants fan.

Wait 10 months for this, revenge and redemption, so on and so forth...and the refs fuck them again.

are completely random, and star QBs basically never get it. It basically never comes up

After being picky about Eli's wk 1, I've seen several today. AR they don't even mention it when it's blatant, Wentz just had one right now, inexplicably throws to NOWHERE and no call

Tbf, in terms of the purpose of the rule Eli's was grounding. But calling that one w/ a target near-ish and not even notice these other blatant ones...wtf

real valuable addition to the game...derp

holy shit

The roughing the passer was iffy. Putting a second back on the clock was complete horseshit.

than the Saints.

They are just getting screwed left and right...

but Wentz under pressure, chucks the ball at his OL's back who is moving towards blocking for a screen...

Again, maybe it's not officially the rule, but why that isn't intentional grounding - throwing at an ineligible receiver to avoid a sack - makes no sense

but apparently a QB diving fwd, if his knee comes down even without being touched "he's giving himself up?" so no further fwd progress. So Wentz got a 2pt conversion called short

I might have missed a bit of the convo so correct me if I'm wrong on that, but that's absolutely stupid. WTF jackass writes these things, and then what group of morons support it as a good idea? Maybe I'm missing something because otherwise it's really idiotic
