officiating in the giants/skins game

[Matt Williams]

Yea I agree. It seems like the Giants almost have to fight the opposing team and officials when on the road. Granted, they got an extra home game so I suppose it all evens out in the end.
On that holding call (Toomer's TD) it seems like both players spun in opposite directions and both fell down on thier own. But because the official saw the defender on the ground, he "assumed" it was holding. At least that's my view on it.

Regardless of what the ref "assumed" it was, i know from watching the replay that it was a terrible call, and in a critical situation like that, you better be DEAD CERTAIN that you're right if you're going to call back a TD.

And that's just one bad break the giants got from the officials. There were many more in this game.

I've been a huge giants fan since the LT/Joe Morris days. I'm telling you- this is one of the worst games i've watched as far as lopsided officiating against the giants goes.
