Giants-Eagles

weird, weird game. in short, a typical Giants-Eagles game. 

atrocious officiating in the 1st half. how many holds did they show of the Giants' line? and then the make up (non) call on the Eagles receiver contact near the goal line. Samuels' roughing the receiver call (helmet to helmet). 

Bradshaw's bizarre non-fumble instant replay reversal (was the forearm really down before the wrist?). 

Eli's early INTs that lead to FGs that should have been TDs. 

Avant's drop in the endzone. 

The blocked FG at the end of the half that should have been a Giants TD but wasn't thanks to David Akers(?) and Sav Rocca (?!). 

Thanks to th Ellis Hobbs injury and the Eagles last possession of the first half combined with their lengthy possession to start the 2nd half meant that Eli and the Giants offense didn't touch the ball in like an actual hour of real time. 

The Asante INT and fumble. Ugh. 

Herremans being called for a clip and chop block in the same game. 

completely dominating for 2 1/2 quarters and all the sudden seeing a 16-3 lead turn into a 17-16 deficit. 

3rd and 1 shotgun - only Andy Reid. Followed by 4th and 1 toss for the TD. McCoy was totally shut out but for 2 plays all game. 

Coughlin's questionable call to go for it on 4th and 6 with 3:13 to go and all his TOs from his own 44.. 

Which looked good till Eli fumbled on the slide. So glad Michaels referenced last year as i was initially  thinking it looked familiar but couldn't recall which Manning did and it and whether the Eagles were involved. How NBC did not have a replay of last year's play is inexplicable. 
  
there's probably more i missed. 

weird, weird game.
