If you think that, you don't understand a thing about football. A DB who makes contact with a WR without looking back for the ball will get called every time. You don't need to know much about football to understand that.

Uh, O'Neal made minimum contact if you can even call it that. It was a horrendous call.
O'Neal missed a couple of tackles in this game, but he played extremely well on the phantom pass interference play. If he gets a little more aggressive, we should have the best tandem of safeties in the league next season. |

yeah, when you swat the receivers hands, it's minimal contact. 
Nothing amuses me more than OSU fans crying about iffy PI calls.

I understand the rule, but he barely touched him. I would think that the referees wouldn't be so quick to pull the flag when it's that marginal.

I didn't see anything on the play, and I still didn't see anything after the replay. Maybe O'Neal made incidental contact with the receiver's hand while running with him side by side?????? Jamario played that perfectly. I honestly don't know what else you could expect him to do in that situation.

there was enough contact to warrant a flag. also, the contact was light enough not to warrant a flag. it was a judgment call. so be it. if the receiver had been a buckeye and the defender a rabid chipmunk, we'd surely be saying that the call was justified.
the receiver, though, should have made a much better effort to catch the ball. officials sometimes won't throw the flag if the receiver doesn't provide enough effort.

Only turn around and look for the ball... |

The ball was severely underthrown and Manningham did not even make the effort to make the grab. I guess O'Neal could have looked back but in this case he was simply reading Manningham's eyes and Manningham did not make the effort to make the catch. IMHO it should not have been called but it's pretty irrelevant. |
