    Really strange ending to the game. Skins were given a 1st down, chains moved, decision changed, chains moved back resulting in a 4th and 1, Skins go for it, complete the pass for a 1st and the receiver is stripped and the game pretty much ends.

    Al Michaels blasts the refs saying the screwed it up, they can't do that and they couldn't have handled it worse. Wonder if Goodell will slap him with a fine? Might as well. That'll be $15,750 please!

    On another note, the Giants had 1 penalty for 1 yard (half the distance to the goal) in the entire game. Not sure I've ever heard of a team play a game that clean before.

    The Steelers play that clean every week! Don't you know that we only get penalties because Goodell and the NFL are against us?????? It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!

    Are you suggesting there was some kind of conspiracy favoring the Giants?

    God I hope not. I hate conspiracies. There's one big problem that kills pretty much every conspiracy ever, people can't keep their mouths shut.

    Anyway, that 1st down call was a huge mistake by the refs because as they said on TV, it changes the playcalling. I don't think it changed the outcome of the game though. The Skins lost because they dropped balls and then fumbled when it mattered. They blew it, again. RG3 looked good in the pocket though. When he stands in there he can really sling it, but too often he bails and tries to run.

    Nope, I don't believe in conspiracy theories.

    Pats didn't get a penalty at all this week. Dolphins had a flag free game week 2. So it happens.
