Talk about blown calls that could have cost the game, how about the bogus offensive holding penalty called against the Giants with 4 minutes left in the first half? Instead of 1st down inside Pats 40, Giants packed up on their side of the field with 3rd and long, then forced to punt. Even the announcers at the time thought it was a bad call. NFL Films broadcast other night had refs recorded, head ref thought it was a flop. After the 3rd down play refs went up to Wilfork and asked him if he was held or if he spun and flopped. He said I flopped it and you guys blew the call. Instead of possible half ending drive and Giants scoring they give the ball up to Pats who score. Without that bad call it coulda been 16-3 halftime.

On the Brady safety, none of his receivers were going downfield of stopped a route, all were doing crossing route ten yards past line of scrimmage. He threw the ball 30-40 yards downfield. The microphone on NFL Films caught Brady telling the offensive coordinator he had to throw the ball away because of the pressure. He made a bad decision, clear and simple.
