By rule, the only element subject to review was whether it was a catch or not. The judgement of the call (reception/interception) was not subject to review.
I also think the call was wrong, but this is not the officials' fault. This belongs to the league office, who locked out the league officials and had some prior arrangement ensuring that the "replacements" could not come from the next level down --major college conferences like the Big 10 and SEC.
I'd think last night's fiasco, and a few calls from the earlier two weeks, have strengthened the bargaining position of the regular officials.
The crews on the games are doing the best they can, but they appear to be out of their depth.

Div I refs are in the same union as the NFL refs, that's why they can't use them.

As usual, the Giants showed up late. Tough schedule ahead, they need to show up early and no more come from behind. It's gonna give me a heart attack.

I thought that it was going to be a very close game, did not expect a beat down by the Giants.

Me neither, but I was happy. Apparently my new jersey is a lucky jersey.
I have to say, though ... I would not want to play Seattle in Seattle. Ever. They're not the best team in the NFC, but they're dangerous. Wreckerball.
I am enjoying the four-way, 3-3 tie in the AFC East.
