Lambeau Leap is grandfathered in re: the celebration penalties.

The Lambeau leap and dunking the ball over the goal posts were the only two acts grandfathered in. Nothing else was. Can't jump on camera st

Anyone else think Davis was out of bounds on that TD?

Can't really complain about the call though. At least this time around the ref gave an explanation.

I thought it was a classic "call on the field stands", regardless of what was called on the field. if he had been ruled out of bounds it would have stood as well.. too close to tell on the replay either way

If the Giants end up winning this game they're a matchup nightmare for the Pats...

Elite passing game on offense, elite pass rush on defense

 

[flamingrey]

The Giants may have the best o-line in the league. They gave Eli a great pocket against the Packers and now the 49ers.

 

[Servo]

they also invested two first round picks on O-line a couple years ago...a strategy the Bengals should copy considering there's no way in hell they're signing Carl Nicks or Ben Grubbs

His heel never touched the ground or he would have been out. And grandfathering something in that is against the rules is ridiculous. Should Roy Williams be allowed to horse collar because he did it all the time before it was a rule? Absolutely ridiculous.

I thought he was probably out of bounds

The 49ers and Pats would make an intriguing matchup. I'd have no idea which way to call that. That's a defense that the 49ers would run all over, but Brady could potentially do damage like Brees was doing minus the turnovers due to the short passing game.

Apples and oranges.

I'm not sure... they shutdown Ray Rice today, and the Broncos running game last week...

I think the Pats win that game decisively...

Giants/Pats would probably be another classic

 

[futballiscool]

The Pats and Ravens were in a brawl every other play in the early game and no penalties were called..

here theyre calling any shove after the whistle a 15 yd penalty

 

[flamingrey]

Giants have fallen apart in the 2nd half.

 

[flamingrey]

I wonder if the refs give the Giants a TD. It was clear the Giants retrieved the ball.

The refs just can't seem to figure it out. It seems every game they blow a huge game changing call.

We'll see what happens...

 

[flamingrey]

First time I've heard that rule where a ball can't be advanced if it is "kicked".

 

[Servo]

I cant stand Ed Hochuli...Nice shot by Manning to Manningham there

 

[Tubbs1518]

It has always been a rule that the D can't advance a punt if it is recovered like that. Where have you been?

 

[Servo]

Harbaugh is constantly bitching to the officials...whiniest HC in the league.

 

[futballiscool]

This should go down as one of the best days of playoff football in NFL history
