The 1st Down Was Reviewed

I was at the game and in real time wondering if it was a first or not.  The line judge by the panthers bench was signaling to the head ref that it was a first pretty quickly (with a motion signaling first down but with hand close to his chest).  It just wasn't clear on tv which is probably why there is so much of a fuss about this play.

A key part of Giants' fans' argument about this play is that Cam spiked the ball on what appeared to be 4th down, which would have ended the game. There must have been confusion between the field and the telecast on what happened with CMC's run. Cam would not have spiked the ball if it were 4th down. He was playing the situation appropriately given what he knew about the officiating. Arguing that the game was over because Cam definitely spiked the ball on 4th down doesn't quite hold up IMO

It’s not entirely their fault. Many NYG fans watch Fox News so they are conditioned to believe whatever the television tells them.

TV said 4th down and 1. For those of us at a bar or had little to no audio of the game, we just saw 4th and 1 and then Cam spiking the ball .... they played with my emotions yesterday

TV is not official, that's kept on the field.  Saw it also but knew it was wrong right away when they spotted the ball.

I agree with your sentiment about Fox News, but Jesus Christ dude everything else about this statement is just wrong.

I was at the game and saw the official hesitate for a few seconds and then motion for the sticks to move and signaled a first down. I assume that was the review. Then the ball was spotted and Cam spiked the ball. If the commentators were confused it isn't unusual. They get calls wrong all the time. The players on the field and most folks in the stadium knew it was first down and we were all telling Cam to spike it.

Even if they stopped the clock to measure it the Panthers would have kicked it anyway and it would have been a 64 yarder.  Same outcome.

It would have been in the exact same spot it was. We only had one play after that and it was an incomplete pass.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
