Someone explain how this is not a penalty - Eli Interception

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

 
Not like it matters anymore right now, but this was during a vital point of the game...
 
I still want to know how that wasn't a penalty. 
 
Looked clear to me.

Lol this was nothing when you consider that they gave Mccoy that catch on a clear drop even after reviewing it

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Right, I'm not defending Eli here...I think he shouldn't have made that throw at all, or attempted it...I mean, he was surrounded by HUGE bodies everywhere. 
 
But still, that was a turning point!!

Beatty needs to go

Mistakes are made

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

219 TDs, 156 INTs,
 
74 fumbles, 34 of them were lost.
 
so....190 turnovers, 219 TDs for Eli Manning.
 
I'm a little baffled at why people called him elite.

ummm check the playoff #s.

 
Yeah, playoff #s were better...I agree there.
 
I just don't understand season-Eli.

He's spent his entire career in an offense where he isn't the only player on the field who has to read the defense and make a decision based on the look given.

My guess would be that he didn't grasp the helmet opening and the official on scene didn't deem it "forcible contact."
 
Be happy to the extent that maybe they'll stop calling this hands to the head thing so easily. It's supposed to be forcible contact, but they call it damn near every time. It's a horrible rule, just like Illegal Contact is a horrible rule.
