Huh, I actually turned it off after the interception, Tomas was over and I knew they won. I didn't need to see him take a knee at that point. Guess I did. I had no idea this happened.

I actually liked what The Bucs did. They were only down by 7 points. They bumrushed the line and Eli fell akwardly. What if he fumbled and the Bucs ran it back? If it was like 42-7 and they did that it would be bad sportsmanship. But I didn't have a problem with it like Coughlin and the Giants players did.

I didn't see the game and I didn't realize it was that close. I guess it makes sense to try something then. I got the Baltimore game and then the Skins.
And after the Skins game and the unbelievable officiating, I was done with football for the day.

There was only like 7 seconds left when Eli was taking a knee, so even if he did fumble The Bucs had to run it back, not just recover it. But I still didn't think it was that dirty of a play. There's usually way dirtier plays than that in just about every game played.

They're talking about this now on Sports Center. I saw the stats of the game and knew Eli threw for a ton of yards, but I didn't get to see the kneel down incident until just now.
I guess there's two trains of thought on this. On the one hand, I can see the Bucs playing til it's over and hoping for a turnover, but on the other hand the Giants weren't expecting anything like this, and someone could have gotten hurt.
Again, I won't call it a cheap shot, but I don't think they should have done it.
But, I don't coach in the NFL, so take that as you will.

Well, now the Giants should be prepared for teams to do that.

If by some chance The Bucs make the playoffs and play the Giants, The Giants should throw deep instead of taking a knee. Tell 'em to suck it.
