************. Coughlin mus be going nuts over the botched scoring replay that is supposed to be automatically reviewed, which never was. The backs shin was clearly down prior to the ball breaking the plane, as shown and commented on on national television.
Not to mention the insane irregularity and inconsistency with which defensive hold/dpi and hands to the face are called. On top of this, with dpi/holding being so similar, on a tipped ball the refs can simply change the call to defensive holding, negating the tipped ball bail out. All this is non reviewable, and that is insane. The fact defensive holding is an automatic first seems ridiculous as well.
Opi is another mind numbingly inconconsistently called infraction as well. It seemed to me the 'Skins got boned getting flagged for one of those last night on a big play, when it looked like the lb initiated the contact with the wr purposefully, rather than the other way around.
If anything, the criticism and responces to said criticism should be made more public, rather than hushed up. After all, it would improve the "integrity" of the game, by you know, making the officiating process more transparent. (Edit: publicly discussing calls, etc, not teams publicly crying about cheating)
It becomes more clear by the day that the only way to truly safeguard the integrity of the league, is to remove this self aggrandizing, megalomaniac, dictator of a commissioner. He already *****es out of one traditional public appearance due to the expected (and rightly so) venomous reaction from the fans. The fact is, he has earned any hate spewed his way, and then some.
