That's the "hack" I was referring to ... Jerry Austin?

Yeah that's him. He used to be in charge of all NFL refs.

Giants and Cowboys with a little back and forth in anticipation of Sunday's game. I'm hoping to see a good one. If the Giants win that game they might win the division.

Drunk and obnoxious? No problem.
Painted beer belly? Rock on.
Hot chick in a bikini top? Go on with your bad self.

Wear a speedo? Excuse me sir, you have to come with me.

"Oh I'm sorry, I thought this was America!"

No one paid attention to the clock that was being operated by the panthers clock operators. After the go ahead TD by Ginn at least 3 seconds ran off the clock and it wasn't addressed by the refs. During the patriots drive they lost another second or two after incomplete passes. This may have given them one more play. I've never heard of a pass interference being nullified because the pass was intercepted. The patriots cost themselves though. Ridley's fumble really hurt because it took away at least 3 point and they could've kicked a field goal to win the game on the last drive. Also, Mankin's stupid personal foul cost them a shot to score a TD and had to settle for 3.

Holy crap! We were watching and there were two or three times I said, wow the clock is still running. It was only 2-3 seconds each time but it was enough Brady would have been a few yards closer if nothing else. I really didn't care either way but there were a few iffy things going on last night.

Definitely.

I doubt many remember but we compared it to the UM/MSU game where the MSU clock operator allowed multiple seconds to remain even though the game should have been over. That offseason the B1G10 changed rules, quite appropriately.

It's stunning how many ex-Redskin kickers are still kicking in the NFL. It must be a record.

I just got back inside after being out running errands just outside Boston. It is super windy right now and getting quite cold. It'll be fun to watch Manning and Brady try to throw accurately tonight.

They have wussified the NFL game to the point where it's really not much fun to watch any more...

All these penalties in the Cowboys / Giants game would not have been penalties 5 years ago, much less 50 years ago...

Cowboy's D.

Giants roar back to tie the game. Dallas has had a lot of help from the refs plus a ton of lucky bounces.

If only it would snow then it'd be perfect

*of course it would have been nicer if New England would have showed up to play

Wish Orakpo could play like that

I would settle for Orakpo being half as good as Jones.

The Tom Bradys are fighting back.

I'm just glad we're getting to see some competitive football in this game.

spidernat · « **Reply #1267 on:** November 24, 2013, 10:53:43 pm »

Brady threw a dart.

Hey, who put the Redskins on SNF?

Crazy if this comeback holds.

Talib has been balling.

Questionable playcall by NE.

spidernat · « **Reply #1273 on:** November 25, 2013, 12:22:58 am »

After the disastrous beginning NE ended up winning the turnover battle and the game.

Glad to see Welker finally win a big game for New England.
