Apparently the reason the Giants won last night was an odd call where Eli seemingly threw the ball beyond the line of scrimmage but the call was overturned on replay giving the Giants a critical first down. A screen capture from the game is above. I want to be very clear on this so listen up.
THE FUCKING LINE IS UNOFFICIAL! How fucking hard a concept is that? They take this myopic image from the game and say "See, lookie there, he's beyond the line!" Meanwhile, as shown on the replay numerous times, yet conveniently never mentioned by the announcers, the line of scrimmage was nearly at the 20 yard line. While we're talking about imaginary lines, draw one up from where Eli's right knee appears to be in relation to the 20 yard line, and that's where the line of scrimmage actually was. What does that mean? His foot was ENTIRELY behind the line. The rule states that if any part of your body is behind the line, it is a legal pass. His foot was CLEARLY behind the line and the call on the field was CLEARLY wrong. The Giants challenged, the refs got the call right, and the game moved on. Shut the fuck up already!
