Overall over the course of the season, the quality of officiating has been getting to a point of being unacceptable. It's about time the NFL require it to be a full time position.

I'd be a pretty unhappy camper if I was part of the Giants or one of their fans. Hell, I'm pissed and I'm not a Jints fan.

Let's hope they've screwed up for the last time this season.

Offsetting penalties never occurred to me because it was an ineligible lineman down field.

Bad calls and all........the game was great! It sucks that a game hinged on an official not knowing the rules and that is becoming an unwanted part of the game. The refs have got to start making all calls instantly instead of these conferences to save face. Make the calls and let instant reply validate. Years ago they made the call on the spot and in most cases - they were right. Now they delay, second guess, conference and still get it wrong.
