Good win by Jets but giants really do stink
How many downs did they have inside their 30 on the drive where Eli threw the pick, like 20? I wanted to really like going for it on 4th down, but if you can't score a TD when the other team gives you nearly unlimited downs, I guess you just take the 3 points.

The refs continue to be horrendous. They can't count the number of players in the huddle.

NFL is so strange. Philly has 5 wins and 2 of them are on the road against the 2 best teams in the AFC.

You think the Jets and Patriots are the two best teams in the AFC?

Yeah, I think the pats losing to Denver was borderline corrupt and this game was a fluke. So they're still up there for me. I mean, their own fans did boo them at halftime of a tie game so, I guess some disagree.

That was pretty clearly DPI. Wow.

The ref said to Brown it wasn't because he was looking at the ball.

Push off on Brown wasn't called on that TD. Even Collinsworth said he extended his arms. But they are "letting them play" tonight he said.

Great

Steelers are 7 for 10 on two point conversions. The Steelers just broke a NFL record for two point conversions in a season. Mike Tomlin is ahead of the curve.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. Tomlin's been going for two pretty much completely at random.

I don't understand why the clock went back to 55 seconds, the play still happened even with the bad personal foul call.

He's sort of randomly button clicking his way to a slightly more optimal than conventional strategy given his personnel, but he does so many other strange things in analagous situations that I'm inclined to think it is an accident

He's been ahead of the curve since he thought of the groundbreaking idea of having head coaches try to trip kickoff returners.

I feel like Tomlin has it half right. I give him credit for going for two more than the rest of the league and earning four more points than 10 PATs would get you is.....something. But yeah his approach has been scattershot. Just go all in with it.
