I'm baffled that the Giants actually went after T-O (I mean, I understand it). They could've got some serious yardage after each foul.

15 yard Facemask, and an interception, and a refferee challenge, and what a giant field goal should have won..., botched, yet San Fran was still win

Thank God the 9ers took down the Giants. Now I won't have to hear the verbal blow jobs for Shockey another week.

Glad to see that San Fran won that game. Good games today, making up for yesterday.

 

It was great seeing Strahan all pissed off walking off of the field.

Best part of the wanning moments was Collinsworth and Aikman throwing the insults down at T.O. and the Giands secondary for the tom-foolery. Had me laughing.

Why were today's games great? They had great finishes, but it was on-sided for the Browns and Giants for 3 quarters until the Steelers-49ers dominated and won.

All right. Now we finally know who's going to lose to Tampa next week. What a total, inexcusable collapse by New York. If you lead a game by 24 points at any point in the game, there's no way you should lose. No way. They just stopped playing. I'd reckon that the longsnapper is out of job, too. Good god.

has TB figured out a QB position yet?

 

Who cares about the Johnsons, but King in, and it'll be all good.

Brad Johnson, if healthy, could be just fine for them. Better than that monkey Rob anyways.

The only things that long snapper did for the Giants all year were 5 snaps for extra points and three snaps for field goals. 2 of those field goal snaps were terrible, costing the Giants the game. One of those field goals wins it.

The thing is, the Giants were kicking on third down. The holder could have simply spiked the ball, stopping the clock for the incomplete pass and brining up 4th down. I was SCREAMING at him to do precisely that, but instead, he decided to take leave of his senses and heave one down the field. When the camera kept focusing on the ball before it was snapped, it seemed ominous to me. Hella good comeback by the 49ers, and simply an inexcusable loss by the Giants. Teams HAVE to stay aggressive and keep playing their games, especially on defense, even when they get supposedly insurmountable leads.

 

The Browns lost the first game as much as the Steelers won it. From their stupid, STUPID penalties on Pittsburgh's late drive, to Davis' inane challenge costing them a precious TO, to Holcombe's poor pass on the game's last play, the Browns lost. The Steelers did capitalize on their opportunities, though, and are looking good heading into a tough matchup with the Titans. My knock on Tommy Maddox has been that he doesn't protect the ball well, and that was obvious again today: two picks, and at least two more potential picks (one of which would have iced the game for the Browns).

 

What a day. I picked both games wrong, but they were so good, that I really don't care.

ESPN.com just posted an article saying that it would have been illegal for the ball to be spiked due to it being a long snap instead of a snap from under center so while it might have been quick thinking to do it they would have lost anyway. By the time they snapped, recovered the bad snap, scrambled from the pocket and threw it away I would imagine the time would have ran out anyway.

so what would happen?

 

would it count as a fumble if he did spike the ball?

Intentional grounding, so it would have pushed the kick back around seven or eight more yards, but I don't think it would matter since IIRC it would have come with a 10 second runoff as well for a penalty in the last minute or two minutes.

i saw that article

 

maybe they should have just thrown it away down the sidelines just in the vicinity of a wr

 

 

or even better, considering the guy alreay screwed up a snap earlier and they were driving down the field, JUST PASS IT!! screw the FG
