Super Storm Sandy is Not the Only Thing That Blows in New York…..Right Refs?

Here’s what the refs might have seen during the Big Ben fumble/forward pass play.

While Ben’s arm was going forward, there was a point when he stopped his arm and attempted to either tuck the ball in, or reload his arm for another throw. At that point is when the ball fell free.

I was surprised at the call, i just thought they would say it was forward motion, normally im correct when i ‘guess along’ with the review, but this one was kind of shocking and probably not the right call.

Steelers definitely dominated. No excuses, the Giants did not come to play. They were even saved by a few questionable calls.

But to all who claim the Giants are getting all the breaks and, moreso, in this game, I have nothing to say. You’re relating a totally horiffic experience, for the region, to a game of football. I am a Giants fan and have watched them play since winning the SB back in 90. I see the ball bounce their way sometimes, and the ball bounce the other way at other times as well. As someone pointed out to me at this very forum, it does take some luck to win, but it also takes some effort. No team can claim that this is not applicable to them at some point.

What was that, Justin Tuck, about “getting away with murder” again? Whose side are the refs on?

Steelers are clearly the better team, dominating the game in every way including statistically.

Oh one more thing mr ex official, the NFL has determined there is no such thing as “incidental” helmet to helmet. Or haven’t you been watching the fines handed out to defenders for H2H Hits?

Steeler sideline was crying about the Wallace hit because they thought it was spearing after being down by contact. He wasn’t. Helmet to helmet was incidental. The one on Rainey was the one that they missed horribly.

Defenseless receiver. 15 yard personal foul, regardless.

JP did not extend his arms.

I don’t need a coaching up on the rules when I have officiated the game.

You talk about people knowing the rules Mr Wright, yet you say all of the calls were correct? Really the Clark penalty?, the no call on the clip on fumble return? Phantom PI call on Allen? Maybe you don’t actually know the rules

There’s still the rule about a defenseless receiver and helmet to helmet hits. Is not the fact Wallace was trying to get up and run, it’s that he was delivered a H2H hit

Steeler Giant in our area today and watching two of those calls, never say anything against the replacements refs. Then one of Steeler receviers I think wallace,is on ground and the giant hits him hard with flag and they pick that one up. That is the true meaning of home cooking for the refs in this game today.

He was not down by contact and was getting up to continue running (as he was eligible to do so) DOOFUS.

I don’t think I’ve seen three people post on here who don’t have a bent and actually know the rules.

No, the Steelers just beat the Giants fair and square, after all.

All the calls were proper calls. Giants benefited from none, nor did Pittsburgh. The only blown/incorrect call was the hit on Rainey.

Refs can’t make that many mistakes in that short of a period time…or they’d be out of a job their “mistakes” may very well decide the outcome of a game by spotting the Giants 14, and if you think a call wasn’t made to CBS for their announcers to go along with the calls you’re kidding yourself. PFT Censorship is UnAmerican…especially with no vulgar language.

I was thinking the same thing. Before the comercial break, they couldnt beliwve the calls, after the break, they were like “uh, yea, the refs got it right.”.

The fix is in. There have been 4 terrible calls which resulted in 14 Giants points.
No doubt Goddell is trying to fix this one.
I don’t think the Steelers had anything to do with NJ getting flooded.

First we’re “lucky”, now teams and officials are “handing us games”. Sounds like Heat fans the other night when the Knicks manhandled them all night, just as the Giants pass rush is about to do to Pig Pen in the 4th quarter.

There is not a luckier team in professional sports than the New York Giants.

Wow. Steeler fans seem to be forgetting all the calls THEY have gotten in the past. Remember the sb’s against the cards and Seahawks?!! Bad calls are part of the game, kids. Stop making Ravens fans sound correct and Shut Up.

Hey Steeler fans…..Be grateful this is happening to you now instead of in the Super Bowl. If it did, you would have to change you team name to the Seattle Seahawks. So quit your crying already.
