Refs Happy With Giants – Patriots Outcome

*Note this was orginally written on 12/28 

Creative refereeing and one blown defensive play led the Patriots to 16-0 this evening.  Newsflash-  New York Sportswriters still blame Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin for 9/11.

 

Oh LWN is hot after watching the game tonight.  The lack of professionalism and terrible calls made against the Giants, or calls that seemed….wait WENT in favor of the Patriots were intentional, unfathomable and terrible.  How shall I count the ways?

1. The no-call on Vince Wilfork shoving his finger INTO Brandon Jacobs eye.
2. The pass interference call against Gerris Wilkinson when he did not touch Randy Moss, the call set the Pats up at the one yard line.
3. The Illegal use of hands play call against Corey Webster when the giants sacked Brady and it was clear Dontae Stallworth pushed off.
4. The gracious timeout given to Tom Brady well after the play clock went to zero
5. The amazing personal foul on Amani Toomer for simply being on the side line when  Brandon Merriweather hit Hixon when he was well out of bounds on a kick off
6. The subsequent hold on Toomer, which was as much a hold as Stephen Neal’s hold on Fred Robbins two plays later after the Manning INT.  The only difference was that Neal was removing Robbins from the play, while Toomer was no where near the action. 
7. The 15-20 times I saw Patriots receivers run illegal pick or rub plays also their amazing ability to get open when pushing off of defenders.
8. the no call on Burress when Ellis Hobbs tackled him in the end zone

But I guess its ok because the Giants got a late 15 yarder called on Rodney Harrison.  The make up call was way too late.  This was pathetic, if there aren’t 15-20 giants fined for commenting on the officials, I would like to throw in $100 into the NFL swear jar.  This  crew was run by Johnny Greer, an official I respect.  Unfortunately they looked like a bunch of monkeys trying to hump a football while letting the Pats play however they wanted while penalizing the Giants for bullshit calls.  Bully for you Darth Bellichick.
