Is it just me or did the ref's seem one sided in the Eagles/Giants game. Seemed every time the Giants needed a call they got one, i.e. Tiki's spot and Plaxico's Pass Interference. Possible the NFL wanted a Giants win. I know the Eagles won but come on that was sucky refing.

Every referee/offical in the NFL should get audited by the NFL reviewing every play in Every Game and see where they should have made better calls, especially on big plays, interceptions, TD, and Interference calls. The coach should also be able the challenge calls ater the 2 minute warning, when alot of the bad officiating occurs. There were a few games with the Cowboys where the calls were not right which were big plays and the Cowboys lost because of it, IE the Lions Game, 1st drive the lions Had, Kitna was intercepted, and the cowboys scored of it right away and it was called back b/c the offical was being way too critical, it was a big play for the cowboys that could have won the game for them.the NFL officals are being paid off, the question is by whom and for how much?

I'm an Eagles fan. I didn't really have a problem with the officiating. The pass interference on Burress was a pretty obvious one. Sheldon Brown got caught out of position on that one. Actually, if he'd have turned around, he might've had a shot at an interception. Same with the Barber spot. He picked up the first down by a good half-yard, and replays showed his knee wasn't down.
The only gripe I had on any call was when it looked like Jason Bell interfered with Reggie Brown on a deep pass in the third quarter. Then again, Darwin Walker got away with a roughing-the-passer on the Giants' final drive.

It might happen but, most likely i does not happen very often. Also to the point of your question i do not believe the ref's were slanted to the Gaints side. If anything they were against them. They called a large amount against them. To the case of Tiki's first down the ref's were not going to give him the first down, they had to review it. So over all the ref's were not slanted to the giants.

well , tiki's spot was legit , and youd know ifyou watched the game , i thought the refs were against the giants , after the false start calls they flagged for holding on the giants and the replay showed no holding , the giants didnt play to par and lost , oh well

When was the last time you saw a game that had great officiating?
Bad calls happen in every game.
