    Officials Screw Giants

    Giants are at the Bears 1. They pound it in, touchdown.

    Then, a red flag is displayed by the camera. Previous play is now under review, Tom Coughlin is fuming. It is clear, according to Joe Buck as well, that the red flag was not even airborne until after the snap occurred. Somehow, the officials claim to have seen it thrown before then.

    Giants then score the touchdown, but were almost held to a FG because of that. Some bad officiating going on this year.

    With internet betting it is so easy to get money on a game through a relative or friend. I have a feeling that the number of corrupted refs is staggering these days. Unless we think it's just Russian tennis players, Italian soccer, and a single NBA ref.

    See last night's phantom pass interference call that gave Arizona the cover in the last minute against ASU?

    Should I load on Bears on second half since the refs want the Bears to win?

    Giants may have a chance. Don't give up yet.

    I have the Giants -1.5. If they just run clock and kick a field goal, I'm gonna be double mad cause I'll lose the wager AND have to see them win (Cowboys fan here).

    I didn't think they would.

    Now don't kick it to Hester, and don't roll over and play dead on defense.

    I told you, Easy E and the G-men are entertaining to watch. It's a train wreck waiting to happen. LOL.

    Why wouldn't you go for 2 there? If you go for two and get it, a Chicago touchdown only ties the game. There's no difference between a 4 and a 5 pt lead at this point.

    Well that was a pretty awful coaching decision. I know we always remember the fluke times field goals from that range get botched or whatever, but that was a pretty terrible decision not to run the clock down and finish the game.

    Officials just cost CLE the game, and me the total.

    I had O51 for Arizona game. 48 points and CLE needs TD. They throw it! But CLE TD on final play is ruled incomplete, even though the receiver, who makes the catch, is so obviously forced out it's funny.
