I've had bad officiating in 'o4.

I had Ramsey throw to B Johnson in the flats at the 3 yard line and they called a fumble.

I challenged the play because I was a TD down and late in the 4th. Had not even bothered to view it, just challenged on principle, cos the damn thing CHEATS (loads of fumbled punt returns for instance) and the re-play shows BEYOND DOUBT that the ball hit the back of his helmet and bounced onto the floor before being recovered by the Giants.

I though, 'great' third down and nothing lost.

They let the fumble stand!!!

I thought they had actually factored in crap officiating!
