The Giants got royally screwed by the NFL and officials on that game. it WAS a touchdown and it WAS a interception. I don't want to hear any more crap about the Patriots getting screwed by the league, you should have lost that game.
 
In better news for the rest of the league, Julian Edelman's season might be over with a broken foot.

LOL, call the whaambulance.

That was a great game. But your Giants got a few gift pass interference calls, so I wouldn't be complaining about the refs. One of them on Butler, he didn't even make contact with the receiver. Both the touchdown and interception were the correct calls according to the rules. Both guys didn't have possession long enough.

Ill take the loss in the regular season. But you better hope you don't face us in the Superbowl.

I'd say you should worry about making the playoffs first, but since the Giants are in the worst division in football, it shouldn't be too hard.

Who will take out the Giants in the NFC East? The Cowboys are just a floating corpse. The Eagles can't get out of their own ways, And The Redskins are to little too late.

youre right we won by 1 point against the worst defense. but ill just chalk that up to tom coughlin knowing how to gameplan for us. i honestly don't care about an undefeated season unless we're sitting at 15-0. besides super bowl>>>undefeated regular season
 
Never mind the putrid so-called game the Browns put on yesterday...did you see the facemask Pittsburgh's Arthur Moats pulled on Johnny Manziel? It was horrifying to watch. I didn't know a person's head could twist to that degree without paralyzing or killing him.

I heard the official explanation, but I still don't know how you don't get ejected from the game for that.

I saw pictures of that, not sure how Manzel wasn't hurt. I'm thinking/hoping that Moats receives a big fine for that.
 
I saw the replay of that facemask and I cringed, I thought he was going to snap his neck on that play. looked brutal.

As for NYG-NE game that was a great game and I think the Giants showed they can beat the PATS, they will never admit it but I'm sure Pats fans will be rooting hard for the Giants to miss the playoffs or get eliminated in an early round. If it wasnt for that DB landing so hard and knocking himself out that game would have been over, but as it stands it was the right call, he didnt have possesion of that interception long enough. Another great day of football games... with that 80 yard TD run by AP I won 2K on fanduel, putting that right towards my skylake MBP fund, thanks AP!

The touchdown is certainly debatable in the context of "what the heck even counts as a catch these days" - per the rule as it's currently written, it's not a catch, but that doesn't make the rule a good one. The interception, though...nope. Not even close. And the refs missed a pretty blatant hold on Hightower (lineman had him by the head from behind and pulled him to the ground) as well as the absurd PI call on Butler. I think fans of both teams probably have legit gripes, but that's to expected when Ed "Sun's Out Guns Out" Hochuli is running the show. His crew was atrocious.

Don't forget the Blount touchdown being called back that would have put the Patriots up 31-23.

Officiating in that game was atrocious all around.

Yeah, I agree awful officiating for both teams. Regarding the catch...it wasn't a catch according to the rules but if people are normally playing football and using common sense..it probably is.
 
Yikes, the Jags uniforms in this Thursday night game are horrible. I know it's supposed to be gold like their helmets, but it just comes across as an ugly brownish yellow.
