decide to throw a flag when a defender who is going for the ball with one hand has his other hand "Graze" mannings helmet. Now yes i lost a ton of money more than i want to state but here me out. The call was absolutely absurd even if there was no gambling involved. The game was over if the flag was not thrown. But with three timeouts left not only were philly backer dead with the spread the game in general was still up for grabs. I hate to say it but the collie hit was also a bad call .I believe that collie flag was a 14 point turn around. That would have been a fumble and maybe lead to pts for philly instead manning goes right in. Beating the book is hard enough as we all know but putting aside the collie penality the flag on 4th and 18 was to the point the referees should be fined or suspended. the NFL's entire empire is built on gambling. The reason direct tv holds onto the nfl ticket is bc its a billion dollar investment that is gold. The refs cannot carry more weight than the players on the field. in this game they carried more weight than coaches and players when it came to the spread and unfortunately the pure game itself which is flat out wrong....needed to vent...LIP
