going over the highlites again

on the vick scramble up the middle where he dove forward he 100% fumbled and boley recovered it....it was pretty much the same play as eli's fumble in philly last month

I said the same thing to my Giants fan friend via text.  He had already stopped responding to me at that point.  Amazing that it wasn't challenged and wasn't even mentioned.

the montana missle

i like everyone else im sure missed it because i was too busy going nuts over the run

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I really did see it immediately and felt quite relieved when the ball was snapped.  Plus, there was a commercial after it which only gave more time for replay assistants to look at it and tell Coughlin to throw the red flag.  Scary.

I thought he was down by contact with the guy falling on top of him. I did notice that the ball came out and the Giant picked up the ball. I'm not in front of my TV right now so I'll have to go look again tho...

I figured Buck/Aikman/Fox would have made an issue out of it if it was closer. That and Coughlin is the best challenge guy in the league.

You stay classy, NY Post:



And you stay classy, NY Giants:

"Their entire team ran off the field without shaking hands, which I felt was unsportsmanlike,'' Vick said. "But I know that's a tough way to lose.''

Wow. That cover. Just wow. Classless, tasteless, etc. Wow.

I think it is hilarious, then again I am all those things you describe.

I love the terrified look on the pug.

When do two missed coach's challenges and a booth review that wasn't reversed — all three resulting in 21 points for the opposition — not end up costing you the game?

When Michael Vick is your quarterback.

Led by Vick, the Eagles scored an incredible 28 points in the final eight minutes of the game to stun the Giants, 38-31.

Let's get right to the most interesting calls of Week 15, highlighted by the three calls that weren't made in New York.

1. Philadelphia at Dallas

THE SITUATION: Three different plays that ended up costing the Eagles 21 points. One was in the first quarter, another in the second and the final one was in the fourth. Yet, Philadelphia still managed to win the game. (Watch video above to see the plays.)

THE PLAYS:

1. The Giants had the ball third and 11 from their 28 and Eli Manning completed a pass to Hakeem Nicks for 22 yards.

2. The Eagles had the ball second and 9 from their 18 with nine seconds left until halftime. Vick hit Jeremy Maclin for 13 yards; he fumbled and the Giants recovered.

3.The Eagles had the ball first and 10 at their 20 with 13 minutes to play. Vick hit DeSean Jackson for 30 yards but the receiver fumbled and it was recovered by the Giants.

MY TAKE: This is still incredible to me. Before we start, let's not lose sight of the fact that the Eagles were playing in New York, which already leaves them at a huge disadvantage because any close call that goes in favor of the Giants will not be replayed on the stadium's video screen.

This is "home field" advantage at its best. Let's take these one-by-one.

Play 1: In my opinion, the pass to Nicks was incomplete. Nicks did not maintain control of the ball and the ball hit the ground. Had this been challenged by Andy Reid, the ruling on the field would have been reversed. Instead, five plays later Manning hit Mario Manningham for a touchdown.

Play 2: This play was ruled a catch-and-fumble and was reviewed in replay. There was no question that it was a fumble; however, the pass could have been incomplete.

I felt that the play should have been reversed because Maclin was hit just as his second foot touched the ground which, in my opinion, makes him going to the ground as part of the process of completing the catch. During the process, you have to maintain control the whole time.

Obviously, judgment is still involved in replay. Referee John Perry felt that there was not enough visual evidence to overturn the call. One play later, Manning hit Nicks for a touchdown.

Play 3: This is another play I was surprised Reid didn't challenge. The ruling on the field was that Jackson was not down by contact. It was clear that the ball came out when Jackson hit the ground. The ground cannot cause a fumble unless the runner is deemed not to have been touched before hitting the ground.

In this case, Jonathan Goff grazed the back of Jackson's jersey before touching his hand warmer. Touching his hand warmer does not put him down, but touching his back does.

Had this been challenged, the ruling would have been reversed to down by contact. Instead, the Giants scored seven plays later when Manning hit Kevin Boss for a touchdown.

You've got to hand it to the Eagles and Vick. You don't normally overcome rulings like this and still win the game.

That's what makes yesterday even more amazing.  Overcoming those bogus calls, huge bogus calls at that was remarkable.
