The Refs handed the Giants the game against the Cards

[Matthias]

They said Cruz gave himself up, so the play was over. Yet I remember this very exciting play back in the 03-04 playoffs........

According to the bogus rule the NFL made up to save face, that play by Marvin Harrison should have never happened.:rolleyes:

[Jangler]

worst call of the season.

oh, the rules are supposed to be the same all the time? Oops... :rolleyes:

I haven't seen this play yet, somebody post the video.

Here's the play....

I still say they made that rule up yesterday!

By the way, I'm glad we didn't take Patrick Peterson with our first pick. He was supposed to be one of the guys that could come in right away and have an immediate impact, yet Hakeem got him to fall for the okey-doke.

I think, after seeing it, that the Giant's players intent was to give himself up... he did stumble, but then laid down. Now, is that a rule, that a player can "give himself up", I have no idea.

If he hadn't intended to "give himself up" I don't think he would have laid the ball down.

Listen to Pereira and he's right... once the refs ruled the play dead, it doesn't really matter what happened... the ref made the error by ending the play, not on the review.

that call was wrong wrong wrong. cruz was completely untouched he could have just as easily gotten up and ran for more yardage. you cant be giving yourself up and still have the ability to get up and score.....lucy you have some splainin to do!

[Matthias]

I've seen some guys this year get up after not being touched. Even if it is a rule, it should be enforced both ways. I bet not see a highlight of a guy running in for a touchdown because he was not touched down, because if that happens, the NFL will have to be fined.:D

feel free to collect

Only way the NFL can fix this rule because it is right now a judgement call is to make it like college and once your leg is down your down. I'd hate that but outside of the NFL saying oh it's the refs call, that's all they can do.

[Darth Biscuit]

Again, I think the issue here is that the refs on the field stopped play when he laid down... once the whistle blows, the play is over no matter what, even if the ref made a mistake, doesn't matter.
