SEA vs NYG, challenges

[BadBoyBenny]

One of the best games I saw all year for many reasons.

Don't know the answer to your question, Josh, sorry, but just wanted to make a few comments about the game. The announcers were terrible. I didn't understand what they were saying about the 2:07 challenge. Did it come at 2:07 or 1:59, they just confused everybody. And then the guy kept saying, when it was 14-13 Seattle, that if Seattle kicked a field goal, it would make it a "two score" situation for the Giants. Eventually he corrected that.

I'm not a football fan per se, but I thought the game was uber entertaining. Gotta feel bad for the Giants kicker, the 54 yarder was a stretch, but he sure missed two he should have made. Giants seem like a talented young team that just seems to do enough to lose the close ones. Same thing against Minnesota a few weeks ago.

My wife was watching the overtime with me and she said how boring it was with all the challenges. They did slow the game down a lot.

Best part about the game was that it started at 1:00, giving those of us who stayed up late last night, learning from the experts, a chance to sleep in. We expert sleepers can sleep a few extra minutes and extract maximum value out of it.

The play started at 2:07, meaning it has to be challenged by the team not the booth. Its based on when the play started and thats prolly what they were saying in 1000 words.

Yeah, I remember. *That* was the playoffs. *This* wasn't.

Damn. Pros aren't supposed to miss three in a row. 'Bye, Feely.

But, the Giants covered, so I don't care. Parlay g[img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]t, baby!

Josh, I thought the same thing. However, after they came back from commercial the announcers said that the ref incorrectly said they had challenged twice when they had only challenged once. I wasn't watching the whole game, so I don't know if that was true or not.
