The hit on Boss by Weddle appears to be legal as Weddle led with his shoulder and made initial contact with the shoulder before the helmet appeared to catch Boss' chin.
The Bradshaw chop block call was a text book definition of a chop block. Seubert was engaged with the Chargers player up high and Bradshaw went low against his legs while there was still contact up top. Easy call for the Umpire.
The call on Manning being out of bounds before throwing the ball was a blown call by the HL. Unfortunately, if a runner/receiver is ruled in bounds, it can be challenged and he can be ruled out of bounds. However, the opposite is not true as the official will blow the whistle when he believes the runner/receiver is out of bounds and that will end the play. It can not be challenged.
The DPI call on Webster was a good call as he clearly made contact with the receiver before the ball got there and he was not looking back for the ball when the contact was made.
The hold by O’Hara was an easy call as he got his arm on the back of the Chargers player and pulled him to the ground.
The Giants got a break when a block in the back was not called on #66 on the Nicks reverse.
Not much to say on the Dockery interference call as he clearly ran into the receiver while looking back for the ball on the punt play.
Referee Walt Anderson made the correct call on the challenge by San Diego on the dropped pass by Smith. Based on what I could see, Smith never had clean possession of the ball before he went to the ground and it came out. I will say that the covering official did not have a clue what he wanted to call as he threw his bean bag fir a fumble and then ruled that Smith had possession and was down. Poor officiating but in the end, the correct call.
The hold by Snee was an easy call as it was a takedown right at the point of attack.
The Giants got a break on the Thomas interception as Johnson #20 drilled the Chargers receiver who was on the ground as Thomas began his return. That could have very easily been a personal foul and brought the entire runback back to almost midfield.
