The interception call

Recommended Posts

Many of the questionable calls yesterday have already been mentioned on the board--except one (so far as I can tell): the interception. This is the play where Clay was fighting the DB/Safety for the ball, and the Giants player won. Unless I was mistaken, replays showed he did not have full possession when he hit the ground. I can't recall what the rules are for receivers (e.g., must make a football move, etc.), but I would assume that the same rules would apply for interceptions. What are everyone's thoughts about that play? Should Rex have challenged that?

 

All in all, while I don't defend the lack of discipline on the part of the Bills yesterday, I do think the refs made a LOT of questionable calls that really, really hurt us. Sometimes, the refs do decide games. This is why there are so many strict controls on refs regarding gambling--we want nothing to affect their neutral judgment, and the outcome of the sporting event. Yesterday, the outcome was affected by the refs.
