2nd quarter
14:54: Falcons QB Matt Ryan apparently fails to reach the first-down marker on 4th and 1. Following the initial spotting of the football, the ball was moved by one of the officials. This re-spotting of the ball may have been decisive in the Falcons’ failure to convert the 4th down, but the final spot appeared to be correct.
1:34: Giants WR Hakeem Nicks was marked down by contact short of the first-down marker following a reception. Nicks appeared to have made sufficient forward progress for a first down. The spot of the ball appeared close enough to the first-down marker to merit a measurement, but the officials did not initiate one, nor did the Giants request it. The Giants failed to convert on 3rd and 1, and the sequence resulted in a punt.
3rd quarter
10:41: Giants C David Baas penalized for holding. There did not appear to be sufficient contact to justify a flag.
7:55: Giants QB Eli Manning throws an incomplete pass intended for Nicks on 3rd and goal. There was some contact on Nicks by Falcons CB Christopher Ownes. Both the Giants sideline and the TV annnouncers indicated possible pass interference, but this was a good “no-call” in my view. The drive resulted in a field goal.
“Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about THE RULES?”
