Yes, we were robbed but it was probably for the best, because the Giants officially won the Spygate thing basically evaporated, if we won we'd NEVER hear the end of it and people would be calling to strip us of the win or worse. BB messed up having the camera on the field and this was the true price.

Hopefully they can put it behind them and grab a few more rings.

We still do hear it everywhere it seems to me. I would have rather won.

This is the first time I have actually allowed myself to recall those moments.

So I'm just beginning to grieve honestly. This actually makes me feel sick to my stomach. It seriously is atrocious game calling.

Ive gotten over it, Ive actually watched a few replays of the game on the NFL network. Its hard but It was a great game, I use it as motivation. This year was pretty special because we didnt make the playoffs so I didnt have anything invested on any of the game I was just another fan this year and It was actually nice for a change. I would much rather be in the playoffs and wining the superbowl though.

The team should have buried the Giants, but they played poorly due to multiple factors.

It's just a game. They're still the #1 scoring offense in NFL history and the only team in NFL history to go 16-0 during the regular season. Those aren't bad consolation prizes.

his argument is more or less based on the fact that the time cannot stop unless TO or chains come on field....

but cna time be stopped if a ref needs to come over and see the ball and determine if its first down or not? if so, then it means that time was kept more or less the same....
