are you kidding me? skip to the 00:45 for the 2nd call Bill Leavy doing it again, cheated on the Seahawks…now he’s doing this? I mean, these calls were pretty obvious, the fumble was obvious they even went and reviewed the play, yet…it’s not a fumble! are you kidding me? the 2nd call was more insane, “HIT TO THE HELMET?” oh wow… we’ve had a great playoff so far…please, we dont need these refs doing this in the NFL we don’t want to go back into the NBA days with the refs cheating/betting on the games!!! By the way..congrats to the New York Giants, and also the GreenBay Packers for a great season! All Copyright goes to the NFL and the FOX network!

@Namath1000 if you go by what you said, pause at 2:08. The ball is stripped out at that point and his feet is the only thing touching the ground.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:07 am
@vdcptv2012 I don’t know. This play is very close. It looks to me like the ball did come out before HIS CALF touched the ground making him down. But I’m not sure the replay is conclusive enough to overturn the call made on the field.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:02 am
@Namath1000 so that was the right call?
January 17th, 2012 at 7:57 am
@vdcptv2012 Very wrong. If any party of his body other than his feet or his hands hits the ground, the runner is down. When his calf or his thigh hits the ground he is DOWN. It could even be an ankle or a wrist and he’d be down. This call is far less obvious to fans that actually know the rules

Giants-37,Packers-6
Bill Leavy-14
Thats what it should have been!LOL
NYG all day baby

So much wrong is this game.
1. The Fumble (or the not fumble)
2. DJ Ware Spot was terrible (Made them punt)
3. Helmet to Helmet on Rodgers
4. All the PF on Eli that weren’t called (Especially with refs right behind him)
So in conclusion the refs suck and need to be fired asap.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:39 am
A couple of those refs had big money down somewhere. Or were being paid to favor the packers….
January 17th, 2012 at 10:04 am
“blow to the head?” my ass. eli was getting countless blows to the head and of course they never threw a flag. roger goodell is behind this shit. they wanted saints and packers for nfc title gmae. watch the new orleans vs SF and Detriot all bull shit calls and then this. smh….
GO GIANTS!!!

Bill Leavy needs to be fired. He’s shown that he sucks already in super bowl XL and now this past weekend. Either one of those should be enough to send him packing.

@BlackSmoothie91 im glad the better team won that game though
January 17th, 2012 at 11:25 am
@vdcptv2012 hell yeah. my grandfather and i were yelling at the tv.. pissed me off too much!
January 17th, 2012 at 11:28 am
@BlackSmoothie91 refs trying to take over the game, its sickening, as a fan, i just want to watch a good officiating game…it’s the damn playoff, refs…please take time when you’re reviewing a play
January 17th, 2012 at 12:17 pm
@vdcptv2012 there was also a bad touchdown call. packers go for on of their touchdown passes. it clearly touched the ground… idk what quarter though. lol
January 17th, 2012 at 12:19 pm
@Namath1000 gotta be his either his knee or his elbow
January 17th, 2012 at 12:57 pm
Ref were trying to help packers win.
January 17th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
It looks like a fumble but it’s a lot closer than people are making it out to be. I’m not sure it’s enough to reverse the on-field call. Remember, you don’t have to wait for his knee to be down. A runner is down when any part of his body other than his hands or his feet hits the ground. Watch is thigh and his calf — they are down before his knee is.
January 17th, 2012 at 2:34 pm
There were plenty of roughing the passer calls they missed on Eli, and don’t forget DJ Ware’s run on 3rd down where the ref made a terrible spot
January 17th, 2012 at 2:56 pm
How is this not a fumble? Then the personal foul…What is he looking at? FIXED!
January 17th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
Bill Leavy likes to call bad calls all the damn time
January 17th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
Bill Leavy should be investiaged and/or not allowed to work another NFL game. What a crook. First he overrides the the closer offical’s fumble call with the wrong call. Then he goes to the booth and misses the obvious correction. Plus he had at least two blown calls in the game.
January 17th, 2012 at 4:11 pm
surprised he got up from that, nasty.
January 17th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Seriously, Bill Leavy’s penalties were the only reason’s the Packers scored that game (no disrespect to the Packers intended) and if it wasn’t for those call, the score would probably be like 44-6 or 40-6 or something, but odds are, without those penalties and terrible fumble call, the packers wouldn’t have seen the endzone
January 17th, 2012 at 5:06 pm
I’m surprised some of the Packers players didn’t go up to the offical afterwords to shake his hand and slip him a 20.
January 17th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Blow to the Head my ass
January 17th, 2012 at 5:45 pm
The first one…wow..horrible.
Then with the second one he did NOT come late, did NOT drive him into the ground, and did NOT go head-to-head. By not driving him into the ground, he clearly held back as he could. Horrible calls.
