Holding Penalty Kills G-Men


I thought this was the biggest play of the game.  Some might point to the Eli pick 6 in the end zone that turned a 9-3 (or a 10-9 game if the Giants score a touchdown) game into a 16-3 game.  The holding penalty called on this play was a joke.  I love how the refs subjectively call holding on certain plays.  The Giants had momentum and if that touchdown was not called back, they might have ended up winning the game.  The unfortunate breaks in an NFL game.  They were doomed in the game from that point on.

Obviously on the next play, Eli fumbled.  I have no clue what he was doing on the play.  It was almost as bad as his left handed pass earlier in the season against the Titans that was intercepted.  The Giants went from being the hottest team in the NFL, to a team that people are questioning whether if they are that good.   That is the typical week to week story in the NFL.  Great one week, not so great the next.  I still think they are one of the best teams in the NFL and would not be surprised if they go into Philly on Sunday night and beat them.
