refs are giving this game to the giants. 3 terrible calls in a row to gift the giants 14 points

That wasn't a tuck rule. Ratlisberger wasn't trying to bring the ball into his body. It was an incompletion -his arm was definitely going forward.
feel good story after hurricane sandy if the giants win
That play has nothing to do with the tuck rule. There was no attempt made to tuck the ball. It's a question of the 'empty hand' rule.
Clearly the ball had *started* to be knocked loose before Roethlisberger's arm was going forward, but it looked to me like he regained a degree of control before it finally came free.
I'm not sure what the correct interpretation is.

he didn't have control of the ball when the hand was going forward IMO, it was already dislodged even if just partially
i think it was a good call just missed the blatant clip
for those of you who don't know, the nfl fixes games every year. Because of the hurricane in nj, the refs will favor the giants heavily in order to make people there feel better. I've seen this too many times before.
