I’m no Packer fan and I don’t really care about the Giants one way or another, but the G-men need to request those same refs for the Superbowl. It’ll increase their chances a bit. LOL

G-men need to request those same refs

R U Kidding?

The Packers were aided by an assortment of phantom calls (like on the Bradshaw TD which was called back) and no-calls (like Webster being slung to the ground on the 1st Packer TD) or the non-review of the Burris catch just before the end of the first half. (I'm not sure which way the call would have gone, but he was clearly touched down at the four yard line and then the ball came out. At some point that play has to be over.) And there were two at least questionable drive sustaining penalties called against the Giants when the Packers had 3rd and longs. It's true that the Giants got a penalty call on a play where there was an interception, but the foul was the reason for the interception.

Is this your first year watching pro-football?

"the G-men need to request those same refs"

Let's see...

The Packers had 7 Penalties totally 37 yards.

The Giants had 6 penalties totalling 50 yards.

...AND the G-Men had a long TD run taken away on a questionable holding call.

How do these stats grab you?:

First downs: Giants 24, Packers 13

Rushing yards: Giants 134, Packers 28

Time of possession: Giants 40 min., Packers 22 min.

Total domination.

I wasn't glued to the TV, but it did seem that the refs kept helping the NYG advance with their flags against the Packers at various 'convenient' times.

Suuuuurrrrre. The Packers were offsides every other play in Q4, and the refs were oblivious to that
