Giants-Packers Gameday Thread

[Fx Stryker]

That was ridiculous. If that was the Colts, I'd be infuriated.

[21isSuperman]

That's what happens when you try to arm tackle

[nburgmei]

That's the 2nd obvious fumble I've seen taken away from a team in less than 24 hours. They took one away from Denver last night on an early whistle and now an easy overrule is taken away. Glad to see the refs are working at a high level!

[ruksak]

Huh, what?

So, now the ruling is as long as he gets down by contact, even if the ball comes out first before he hits the ground it's not a fumble?

I went to the rest room and missed the explanation. What the heck happened?

[IMissMarvin]

That fumble was CLEAR AS DAY. What in the world are the refs thinking?

[21isSuperman]

Kuhn flips in for a TD...even though the Giants should have gotten the ball after that fumble.

nothing like a little home cooking

[IMissMarvin]

Even Pareira can't defend that one

[SoftShoe]

It would be nice to watch a game that the outcome was not determined by crappy ref's. With a replay to watch they still did not call that a fumble? Really ?

[21isSuperman]

They're showing it now. Jennings clearly fumbled it, but there was no call. They let the play go and the Giants recovered the fumble. One ref said it's a fumble, another said it wasn't. And now, Pereira says it's a judgment call. So even though there is clear video evidence, it's judgement call. Nice...

[IMissMarvin]

That might be the first time Ive ever seen him not side with the refs

[21isSuperman]

Woah, onside kick

[Susie Q]

Glad that onside back fired on them

[Fx Stryker]

Hey Hank Baskett see how to recover an onside kick.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ruksak]

Mike P makin lame excuses......."personal judgement"? Rules aren't subject to opinion and the back of a calf doesn't = being down.

lol.......trying to pull a Payton just burned them. How frickin stupid

[21isSuperman]

He still made an excuse for them, though. "It's a judgment call". How? There is clear video evidence! Thank goodness this guy isn't in the legal system...

[Coltssouth]

Great field position for the Giants. On-side kick fail!

[21isSuperman]

Eli had enough time to cook me a meal in that pocket

[ruksak]

If this Giants O-line keeps it up, put this one in the bag.

[colts_mp]

Give the coach credit for playing to win and having confidence in his players.

[21isSuperman]

Here's the thing with the onside kick. If the Pack recover, McCarthy is a genius and the Pack have all the momentum. If the Giant recover, he looks like a fool. No one will say "if McCarthy goes for an onside kick here, it's a good decision because...". They want for the result; hindsight is always 20/20

[Betty27_1]

I went to the rest room and missed the explanation. What the heck happened?

They ruled down by contact even though the ball was more than being half way out by the time his knees did hit the ground. Ball was already coming out.

[ruksak]

This is a good game dangit. Last second material right here.

I must be an 'ol fashioned traditionalist, because I find decisions like that to be abhorrent.

[nburgmei]

I won't lie, it would be nice to have a QB that could pick up a few yards with his feet, but still be effective passing.

[21isSuperman]

Neither team can muster up a pass rush

[DILLIGAFER]

News flash giants.. when Rodgers runs past the LOS, YOU CAN LAY HIS BUTT OUT IF HE GOES HEAD FIRST!!!!! Tackle him already!!

[21isSuperman]

I must be an 'ol fashioned traditionalist, because I find decisions like that to be abhorrent.

If the Pack recovered, would you say it's a bad decision?

[21isSuperman]

Wow, these Packers receivers can't catch

[colts_mp]

I must be an 'ol fashioned traditionalist, because I find decisions like that to be abhorrent.

It's a gamble. The Pack just caught a very good break on the fumble ruling and went down and tied the game. An onside recovery puts the Giant's D right back on the field and a score by GB could really change the entire game.

[Captain Americolt]

Thats it im going to a bar! I have to see this game

[DILLIGAFER]

I cant believe they ruled him down by contact, that was a pure fumble/Giants recover it. They should fine the refs for blatant bad calls. The refs have been awful this year. Down right disgracefull.

[ruksak]

If the Pack recovered, would you say it's a bad decision?

Yes.

I said the same in respect to the call against us in the SB.

It's fundamentally unsound. Brave, maybe, but stupid nonetheless.

If I rob a bank, you'd say it was stupid, right? What if I got away with it? Still stupid? Yes, still stupid.

I don't like calls like that because they are predicated upon luck.

[IMissMarvin]

The offensive line play on both teams has been INCREDIBLE today. Outstanding pass protection on both sides of the ball.

[Case]

I won't lie, it would be nice to have a QB that could pick up a few yards with his feet, but still be effective passing.

Andrew luck

[IMissMarvin]

Eli has been CLUTCH on third down all day. How many 3rd and 8-12 situations has he got the first down in? Their receivers have been catching the ball.

[Fx Stryker]

Peyton Manning. See vs 2010 Raiders.

[21isSuperman]

Yes.

Alright, that's fair. I just don't like it when people say something after they see the result. Anyone can make the right call when they know what the result will be

[ConBro]

That fumble was ridiculous... I've seen waaay too many things go in the direction of the Packers this season. Raiders game-- Kickoff returner goes out of bounds but the Raiders challenge it, and the refs say "our replay equipment is malfunctioning, therefore the ruling on the field stands". I had NEVER seen that happen before, but it did for the Packers. Then this fumble. I don't like when teams need help to win.

[21isSuperman]

Finally, a defense makes a play
