Sportscenter just tweeted Schiano has no regrets about it.

In a one score scenario I can't really blame TB for trying to make a play there. Perhaps it is a breach of etiquette but it's not a huge breach if any at all. It's not like they went after Manning after the kneel down. What happened was when the ball was snapped the defensive line aggressively pushed the O line *which wasn't prepared for that* into Manning trying to make him fumble before he could kneel down. I see nothing wrong with that in a one possession game.

Ok seeing that...that's nothing. Eli falls down for no reason lol.

If this happens between Seattle and Arizona no one gives a fuck.

I heard from ESPN/Twitter (still trying to find proof) that there was a college game Saturday that had a very similar situation with Team A kneeling and Team B blitzing and Team A fumbled the ball resulting in a turnover. If that happened with Tampa and New York, we wouldn't be discussing if this were a cheap shot, we'd be discussing that that was one of the greatest defensive plays ever.

It's clearly not a cheap shot. Manning isn't even touched. It's up to the offensive line to protect the QB, even on a kneel down, etiquette or not. You're coached to do this in junior high school football.

So yeah...Broncos/Falcons. This should be a pretty good game. Manning and Ryan have never played against one another. The Broncos D should be a much better test than the awful Chiefs were.

<--- All I have to say about that.

The "We" was more intended for everyone on ESPN and everyone even arguing about the whole play. Really, I find it no big deal and no one got hurt.

Atlanta is 26-4 at home under Matt Ryan, but 0-3 on Monday Night Football with Ryan. All three of those loses came against the Saints. Both teams will be running a lot of
no huddle tonight, so it could be a high scoring game.

Did Ryan have JULIO as his main target in any of those game they lost on MNF? The main issue is the Broncos pass rush. Obviously if they harass Ryan, it'll be a tough game.

@Aid: All I need is four points from Prater.

The guys on NFL Network are saying that the Cards win over NE was a fluke. As much as I could be cocky and agree, I don't. The Cards outplayed the Patriots on both ends yesterday, I'd say it was a fluke that Gostkowski missed that FG but the Cards were the better team yesterday. It was a fluke that the Pats got lucky enough to even be in position for that game-winning FG. Not often does a player fumble when they're simply running down the clock at the end of the game.

Aaron Hernandez being hurt is a major loss, ESPN Boston is saying the earliest he'll return is October. IMO he's the most important player of our offense other than Brady. With him out that means Welker & Lloyd have to step it up. GRONK will get his, Ridley will get his if the fucking O-Line isn't shit again. Could also use some better production from Woodhead & Edelman.
