League Explains Ruling On Jennings' Fumble/Non-Fumble
Nice job here by the NFL defending referee Bill Leavy. They still didn't explain, however, he could so obviously get this wrong. Thankfully it ended up not mattering.

Im really happy for you and ima let you finish but the Tuck rule was the worst cop out of all time….

It doesn't matter what the Refs say or do.
In the end the ball doesn’t lie.

what a scam outfit
the guy fumbled before any part of his body hit the ground. the replay showed that.
the OSi roughing call was a joke and Ware made the first down but was marked back at least 3 feet.
the whole idea about losing your challenges I assume affected Coughlin not challenging that terrbile mark.
BTW Eli was battered late at least 2 times blatantly…..
overall the officiating was a F….Plain and simple. Goodel is a total hack….
the ware play
Wasn’t that inside of the 2 minute warning? So it would be up to the ref upstairs to review the play.
one more thing
even if TC won the challenge on the Ware play, since he had lost the fumble challenge the Giants would have been out of challenges. That is pretty early in the game to have no challenges left, especially considering how bad the officials were calling the game.
no it was the 3rd qtr

Who you gonna believe?

Why not tell us which official ruled him down in the first place? Because the side judge who is closest clearly thinks it’s a fumble.

Sooo
any explanation on the roughing the passer penalty on Osi?
I mean, other than the obvious.
Takeaway from the Osi flag...
Just kill the other teams QB. You are going to get flagged either way. Might as well lead with your helmet and drive him into the ground. Then wave Tuck over for a spear.
Will lightning really strike twice?
I was event that upset at the roughing call
because: 1) I was pretty sure we would win at that point anyways
2) Osi got a really good shot at Rodgers, and thats not a bad thing
Ryan Miller was the true MVP. See my profile for rant.
Tuck should have came in and helped hit him too....
they could have been the human Oreo Cookie!!!!! haha If we gonna get flagged at least get flagged for something good!!

It was crap
and it still is, especially because the original call on the field was a fumble. And I don’t buy the nonsense they were talking about “its the referee’s interpretation of what he saw”. If I said the sky was red, I don’t have a different interpretation of the color of the sky, I’m just incorrect and a jackass.

What do you want them to say.
“Well, Leavy is a dumbass, but we couldn’t find any other officials that wanted to go to Green Bay in January”

One of the worst calls I've ever seen
Makes the league look really bad when a ref blatantly blows a call like this. How does this guy still get playoff games?
Unbelievable pile of steaming crap
So basically rather than admit a mistake you will compound his call by LIEING.
Based upon this interpretation Ballard was definitely down in the first game. His calf was clearly touching the end zone.
This reeks of Tim Donaghy….
Will lightning really strike twice?
Totally agree
We’ve seen game officials involved with Betting Scandals in Basketball and Soccer. Would it be shocking to see them in the most bet sport in the league? How bout favoring the team that was the sharp favorite…Of course I can’t prove it, but you at least need to make the refs come out and explain themselves…Perrira used to go on Mike and Mike, but now its basically silence from the NFL.
It was obvious that the player was losing control of the ball
before any part of his body touched the groung.
What an explanation, using rules from their Rule Book.
Didn’t explain anything.
Even their own boss said they blew the call, and anyone who knows anything about football KNOWS that this call was blown.
This was a fumble, and continues to prove (to me) that certain teams get ‘help’ from the zebras.
Quit playing not to lose. Start playing to WIN! Geeez...

Explanation is great and all
but it doesn’t translate to the play in question.
Had his calf been down, I would except this, however it was not.
Had there not been sufficient video evidence to overturn the call, I would except this, however, there was.
So what exactly was the point in releasing this info? Do they think the tape of this play magically disappeared and we can’t look at it?
I was taught at a young age that when i messed up, own up to it. These clowns should do the same.
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
It's a subliminal translation
If your going against the so-called favorites of the world, the rules change. One example is that the ref redefine the human anatomy and included the calf as an extension of the knee?!!! Then again, the ref may be a part-time proctologist?
Shorter NFL
These bozos had no idea WTF just happened, so they decided since they’d made GB waste a challenge already, it was the Giants turn. Even after watching the tape they still couldn’t find their ass with both hands, so it is what it is….
Blue is the color of melancholy and honesty

I just watched the replay. The play should have never been changed on the field. The original call was a fumble. One official changed the call ruling it was down by contact. Then why didn’t the ref blow his whistle? If you rule a player tackled you blow the whistle. No whistle was blown.

I'm not a conspiracy guy
I also rarely blame the refs. In this case I’m convinced an official changed the ruling on the field because GB already challenged a call and won. If they lose this challenge they’re out of challenges for the rest of the game.

That's what makes the NFL's explanation complete crap.
They need to address that the refs overturned their own call during a commercial so the Giants had to challenge. If it was questionable then they should have let the Packers challenge the original ruling on the field. They basically replayed the play and changed the call on their own.

The Packers are pretty soft
Finley cited a Giants defense — playing with a palpable sense of urgency — for disrupting the Packers’ rhythm and never letting up. “(Defensive end Jason) Pierre-Paul was pushing me — and our offense is timing,” Finley said. “Then he’d go rush. I’d say a dozen times. I got pushed on the ground two or three times.”
“JPP was pushing me.” Haha

And when they come up against teams like that, they're not going to have enough to hang with them, and there's not going to be anything they can do. " -- Dan Graziano
To be fair...
I think JPP has put half the team on IR by bumping into them.

That probably explains why JPP wasn’t around the qb all that much. He’s usually beating around the backfield but if he stayed in the line a little bit more to slow Finley down I’m all for it. Hopefully we do the same thing against Vernon Davis.

What's just as bad
is that they changed the call on the field, probably because they heard the crowd react negatively to the replay (as they always do, no matter what they see), as you could hear right before FOX cut to a commercial, and they were worried that they would force McCarthy to use his second challenge in the first quarter.

From the comments on the NFL statement:
we know Bil Leavey is a horrible official, you know Bill Leavey is a horrible official, the world knows our officials in general have been horrible all year(or over the course of the last several years) bur Leavey will likely be doing another Super Bowl and we want you to think his obvious incompetence was, in fact, supreme competence in regards to rule interpretation
In other words, the NFL is lying. The emperor really does have clothes. Not.
It is like when politicians protest too much about being innocent. How do you know they are lying? Their mouths are moving.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.

HEY GUYS!!!!
Sorry I wasn’t around here yesterday joining in on the fun. But I LOVE IT LIKE YOU CAN’T KNOW that the whole world vindicated me yesterday. Another game, another game where the refs were screwing the Giants. Except this time, even non-Giants fans agreed with it. I LOVE being right about the refs. LOVE IT!! LOL.
Anyone worried...
that if it’s us vs the Pats in the SB the lead official will be Walt Coleman??
After this game, and this season,
I’m thinking way too much about what crew will do Giants games.
The officiating this year is so bad, the worst I can remember. It hurts the credibility of the league. If we had lost….. smh
"We borrowed golf from the Scottish as we borrowed whiskey. Not because it is Scottish, but because it is good." Horace Hutchinson
No more score predictions...
I actually don't want to see the Pats in the Super Bowl because...
The storybook narrative would have to Pats winning and avenging their losses to us in SB42 and during the regular season this year.

Also..
the NFL would love nothing more than to have Brady get his 4th ring so the Montana comparisons can come out again. Even though Montana was about 1000x more responsible for SF winning than Brady was for NE winning.

after we beat the Packers and the refs
I’m not worried about it.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Did you guys see that Boley guaranteed a win on ESPN?
He went on SportsCenter and Mike and Mike talked about JPP’s “guarantee” and asked if he would do the same.
He said they were going to win period. He said it’s what is going to happen.
I don’t know whether to like the confidence and bravado or to be mortally terrified by it.

So, be mortally confident about it.

I don't like this quote from Cruz
“Just how we played against New Orleans and how we played against San Fran, definitely, it works out in our favor a little bit,” Cruz said when asked about facing the Niners as opposed to the Saints. “That we are able to get San Fran as opposed to New Orleans just because of how we feel about (the 49ers) and we understand that we have a good chance of winning that game. We felt like we had a chance to win. We understood that if we saw them again, it could potentially be a different outcome and we wanted that opportunity.”
Cruz should’ve said that the Giants would feel confident against any opponent; it doesn’t matter who it is. Harbaugh gets to tell his team that the Giants think the 49ers are a weaker team than the Saints, which they just beat. He gets to tell them that the Giants probably think this is going to be a cupcake game. Cruz’s comments are gas to the flame.

"But even if they do that [win the NFC East], once they get into the playoffs, they're going to see teams such as the Saints and the Packers and the 49ers, who started them on their current losing streak. And when they come up against teams like that, they're not going to have enough to hang with them, and there's not going to be anything they can do. " -- Dan Graziano
Rolle said it much better
“I could care less about how hostile it is,” Rolle said. “When you’re at home, you want to bring ‘em to their feet. When you’re away, you want to bring ’em to their knees.”
“It doesn’t matter who we play,” he added. “At this point, the way we are playing ball, if we go out there and take care of things during the week, it doesn’t matter who you put in front of us. You put an all-star team in front of us, we are going to go out there and be the best that we can be on that Sunday.”
His comments show that he’s confident but he doesn’t disrespect the 49ers in the process.

At this point bulliten board material is what it is. And the play on the field is what matters. if any one heard tucks interview on the fan friday, he flat out said our team is rootin for san fran to win that game. And for anyone who thinks the niners werent hoping the Giants won your’e insane. If you look at some of there comments im sure theres been more said as opposed to cruz.

So, Dennis Green says...
The field will be sloppy so the Giants defense will be hampered but the 9ers defense won’t be and Gore won’t b effected. What?
Also, he doesn’t think the Giants can win because “they’ve been playing a lot of games” – WTF? They have been in playoff mode for the past four games so he thinks that will hurt them.
Those are two of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard.

Red face test
I want someone from the NFL on camera defending this call, while a non-moron reviews the video in slow motion. Did Leavy actually see the same video that I have on DVR? If not, why not? If so, how can anyone say it was the correct call without a red face?
The Osi call was crap, but it wasn’t reviewed; snap judgments can be wrong. If you’ve ever refereed you know what I mean. Last GB game, the Ballard TD was 50/50, as was Driver stepping out of bounds before his “TD” catch. But this kind of error should not happen on a reviewed play.
BTW, I know this is the current rule but it seems that the burden of proof for overturning a call shouldn’t be as great if there was disagreement among the field refs on the correct call. Instead of “incontrovertible visual evidence” it should be something less. Maybe the competition committee needs to add a “Leavy” rule next year…
non-moron?
So, I guess we don’t have to look for a judge in Philly.

As I keep saying almost everyday, they don't want the Giants at the party
How else do you explain the two glaring misses by the refs in the Falcons game. The terrible spot and missing that they had 12 men in the huddle. TC had to tell them there were 12 men in the huddle. Then a fumble that’s called a fumble by a ref that saw when it happened only to be ruled not a fumble by a ref on the other side of the field, then to make matters worse they reviewed it and still got it wrong. Now they feeling the heat because everyone is suspicious
"Bummer"
Would love to get this injustice evened out:
http://articles.sfgate.com/2003-01-07/sports/17475281_1_general-manager-ernie-accorsi-49ers-great-escape
I’m not aware of another playoff game in NFL history where the league apologized for missing missing a game deciding call. Don’t know why this isn’t being brought up now. Note that the guy doing the apologizing was the same Pereira that said Leavy blew the call yesterday.
so there u have it
the rare occasion in which they made a mistake & owned up to it. That still doesnt make me happy about that game but it just shows the difference since perreira left. i know a lot of u guys think he’s an idiot on fox, but when he ran the officials, they were MUCH BETTER than they are now. Since he left, its exponentially gotten worse

You know what? It was a good thing.
If the officials got those calls right, the Giants could well have held the packers to under 10 points. The national media would then be all over Giants jock even more than they are now, and the giants would probably be picked to be the SB favorite. And you never, ever want that.
Go Giants!
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
Giants defense sounds scary here...
In the past four games, the Giants have outscored their opponents 121-50. Opponents have been limited to 22 points in the postseason, and that total might need an asterisk. The Falcons scored two points when Giants quarterback Eli Manning was called for illegally grounding a ball in the end zone, and the Packers’ two touchdowns came on drives that were kept alive by questionable officiating calls.
I have to admit that I am a bit shocked about this turn around. Someone flipped a switch and it’s been fun to watch.

so here's the thing, conspiracy theorists
Conspiracy 101:
1. The NFL is about making money.
2. Money is about scoring big points, and story lines.
3. Nawlins and GB are gone now.
If the conspiracy theories about the NFL and team favoring are correct, the Giants should benefit from it. They are the more explosive, point-scoring team, and they have more “story lines” — Eli winning another SB vs. Peyton, SB XL2 rematch, etc, SB vs ravens rematch…
For the record I am a rabid ref-hater. I despise officials and I think they suck. I DO believe the NFL has a vested financial interest in the success of some teams, that’s a fact. however I do NOT believe that there is an organized conspiracy, just a subtle sunconscious lean towards the success of certain teams.

Yea but Harbaugh vs Harbaugh might be what they want
for their SB so I would expect them to be pulling for the Niners this week.
This...yes.
Next in line would be a SB42 rematch. If the Harbaughs didn’t have a chance the NFL brass would be creaming their shorts to give BB and TB a chance to avenge that loss. Wouldn’t matter though because the SB42 loss was epic due to them being undefeated.

as a former member of the media, I think that SBXL2 rematch is the best story, better than the Bro-Bowl. But, this is just our opinions.
For TVs sake, I think the matchups rate as follows:

It’d be the same as if they said:
RE: Bill Leavy on the supposed Greg Jennings’ fumble:
Section 114 article 7(b) clearly states that when a player steps out of bounds and is the first to touch the ball during a punt it shall be deemed illegal contact and a 15 yard penalty is to be applied on the next play.

Its funny
They Helped them in the first game. If i recall, 2 calls that ended in TDs for GB occured in first game, and they trieed to do it to the Giants again, only, GB couldnt hold up their end. Its AMAZING that the Giants even had a chance considering they were playing against 18 GB players… albeit 7 were in black and white.
