2nd week that the Giants defense was shredded. And this time by a very bad offensive team. I think it's going to be a long year for the Giants defense.
So I'm watching the Jet-Steeler game and on one play a Jets receiver( I think it was Holmes) runs his route, the ball is thrown to him, and while he's dropping the pass a Steeler defensive back hits him, nothing illegal, the D-back didn't lead with his helmet, he didn't lay out the receiver, nothing like that but a flag is thrown so me, and the announcers, and probably everyone else is thinking unnecessary roughness, and a terrible call..
But no, it's worst than that.. The flag is for pass interference.. The problem is the on the receivers WHOLE route, no one touched him.. No bump at the line, nothing. A completely invisible 19 yard penalty that baffled even the announcers. I think the regular refs will be back in 2-3 weeks..
Anyway I'm sure because Sanchez was so bad this will be a week of Jets fans calling into sports radio talk shows here in NY screaming that they want Tebow to start next week. Let the fun begin.
