You can't be a real, actual human. You're some bizarro goof who pretends all the world conforms to some weirdo mafia movie stereotypical notion of "respect", right?
"Whos dat waitress think she is making me wait 20 minutes for some watah, I make one phone call, one phone call! and poof, she disappeahs. I sweah if there isn't a lemon on that fuckin' watah...."
What if one of the Giants linemen had fallen onto the ankle of a lineman? Players getting injured is something that might actually happen and that could negatively affect your chances of winning in the future. Bullshit machismo can only go so far.

These are grown men on the job. Not a schoolyard with freshmen and seniors. What you're describing is beyond childish and nobody over the age of 18 thinks like this.

Just stop. Please.
Absolutely agree. Usually ends with a short skirmish in the trenches. That's it.
Yes, you don't want to injure intentionally. But you dive for the ball and the sidesteps into you and you break his leg then it's just coincidence. The line is there to block. You have a bunch of big bodies there, they just didn't pay attention. Coughling should be angry at his center for almost rolling up Eli's leg.

Do 99% of kneel-downs not end in the defense conceding? Respect.
Do coaches not use their final timeouts when they're down more than a score or two and the other team has the ball with less than two minutes? That's conceding the win... Respect.
There's a point at which you take your medicine as a coach and accept the loss, out of respect.

Yes, they would have.
It also goes to show you that what Schiano did there, isn't something that's unprecedented.

Idk if your posts are just to brag that the Giants won the Super Bowl or what but as a professional coach you can't not do something just because it's your first year. Herm Edwards said it best, 'you play to win the game'.

The Pats have to sign Welker to a deal soon.

This is the best New Jersey has to offer us?

When da fuckin' game is ovahhhh

He's at least typing some complete sentences. For Jersey, he's practically a genius.
Dude is on the outs. Edelman is where it's at, didn't you hear? Come back home to Miami Wes, we love slow slot receivers.

Now that Hernandez is hurt, Welker is gonna have to step it up to earn that deal
My favourite episode. And I think I still do the "oooooowwwww!" whenever I see a fumble or an interception.
Edelman sucks. I had hopes for him, but he hasn't shown anything.

You keep your dirty dolphin hands away from Wes.
Hush now, don't give Belichick any ideas. He's cheaper than Welker, that must be enough.
That's not what the chick he molested said.
He didn't earn it for what he did the past several years?

At least we lost to the Eagles, who might be pretty good, instead of the Cardinals.

I like you guys.
I'm kinda new around here and I forewarn you that I'll go off on some tangents every once in a while.
Anyways, against the Giants or not I think it was a cheap shot. And I don't think Schiano, or most any other coaches for that matter, would feel okay if Eli or someone else got seriously hurt because he had his D-Lineman take a stab at the ball during the kneel-down.
Thats it, I'm done with this topic.
He lived but nothing came of it, he did not kill Tony at the end

What is going with Welker, anyway? Is he in the doghouse for the contract situation? I haven't followed the Pats game but I've read he's barely been on the field.
I just want to welcome him back when Belichick inevitably gets rid of him for asking to earn a bit more.
They have (well, had) actual human sized targets to go over the middle now and since he is slow as fuck and shorter than a midget hobbit, he's kind of useless as an outside/deep threat.

McDaniels is back as offensive coordinator and I'm pretty sure they're trying to get away from the predictability of Welker-centered offense (short downs). Now that Hernandez is out Welker will probably get more catches though.
A couple of thoughts about the Skins/Rams
- Jeff has really inspired the Rams. I think they'll definitely improve, well they already have. It's amazing how a coach can change the culture of a team.
- RGIII is the real deal. I'm thankful that we have him. Sure, it's 2 games in but his traits aren't a fluke. He's composed, he's mature and intelligent.
- I believe that Mike should have gone for it on 4th down, having Cundiff kick is basically quitting, especially from that distance.
- The Redskins defense is in shambles.
- The referee's in week2 became a danger to player safety.
- While the Redskins could have won, they didn't. Congrats to the Rams.

I'm sure what he did for the pats in the past was great. But you don't think he might be declining? He was awful week 1 and if they just make Edelman the new slot receiver on cheap, they can use that cap room to sign a better player in a spot they need it in.
But hey, I'd rather the Jets don't deal w him twice a year as well.

Welker will be ok.
And there's that too.
Conventional wisdom is that they're phasing him out to replace him next year. The stupid thing is, it's not working. At the end of the game, after they were forced to put him in more, he still led the team with 95 yards, and incidentally, the offense picked up, too.

Then either you have a weird definition of lucky or you havent followed the Eagles at all this year. Tons of penalties and turnovers is not the stuff of luck.

Belichick is purposely reducing hhis worth.
Here's the thing, I wouldn't put it past Belichick to just play him less so he doesn't have to sign him for top 5 WR money.

Seems like trading him would be the more Belichik thing to do if that's the case. He generally has very little indecision in getting rid of players he doesn't think are going to help.DeaconKnowledge said:

I read this in Herm's voice and got a good chuckle out of it. Never gets old.
Why not take the opposite tactic, and treat him like an expiring commodity you need to squeeze every last drop of ability from?
My fantasy team demands it.
I actually traded Welker last year after I saw how many targets GronkGronk and Hernandez took away from him. Wait for a good game by him and trade his ass.

Wouldn't surprise me, that's the kind of power play/mind game bullshit Belichick and Kraft love to pull.

There needs to be a mandatory bob kraft shot after the Pats lose a game. Yesterday and the Super Bowl's were priceless.

I blame it on the refs.

all i can see now in that image is what's going on in the upper left. kraft is dead to me.
They were out of timeouts though weren't they?
Man. Still cant believe yesterday happened. Crazy ass day.
Nice article from Matt Stafford in the Washington Post about replacement refs. He makes some valid points.

Buc players ratted on the coach immediately, saying it was him, so I think they clearly do care, they don't want olinemen going at their knees.
But let's be real here, NFL owners aren't going to appreciate the fact, that $50 million + assets have a chance at being taken out in a kneel down.
