Brian Daboll vs. the Refs Was the Best Matchup at The Linc

Brian Daboll was HOT all game. He looked like Chris Farley in Billy Madison. The re-applying of the headset makes me laugh every single time:
That was after an OPI on Darius Slayton, but we had another crash out earlier in the game when it looked like a Giants player ripped the ball from Jalen Hurts during the Tush Push:
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a coach challenge something just to prove a point. I don’t know what point he was proving and the ref selling him out on the god mic made it even funnier. “I told this idiot he won’t win this challenge, but he went ahead and did it anyway.” Thank god Daboll doesn’t have any hair because it’d be all gone.
Afterward, Daboll decided to keep his game check:
BOOOOOOOOO! Who cares you’re gonna be out of a job in a couple months? We want to hear what you think! It’s only money.
I gotta say though that was one of the most poorly-officiated games I’ve ever watched. The first play of the game they threw a flag, a blatant missed hold on the Giants’ first touchdown, they blew the whistle in the middle of a Jake Elliott field goal and had no answer to why, the Tush Push “fumble” could’ve gone either way, the OPI and Jaxson Dart’s fumble too, and hell, at one point in the 4th quarter the head ref had to explain the same call three separate times and got a Bronx cheer from Eagles fans. It’s funny to think back to Dean Blandino crying about the officials’ inability to ref the Tush Push and then you watch this game. No one ever thought maybe it’s a ref problem? Only person who had a worst day than the refs was Cam Skattebo. Speaking of Eagles fans that was a class act to give him a standing O as he’s getting carted off:
P.S. I’ll double this:
P.P.S. A couple for the road until we get what we want:
