Rashad Jennings says Giants told him not to score on consecutive runs

[Corso]

Wait... Garrett wasn't out-coached in a game???
His opponent was the one who looked like the ***? The legendary Coughlin? Superbowl winning Coughlin?


Well alright alright alright.
I sure do love me some High School... football!
I sure do love me some HS football. Yessiree-bob. High School Football...

I was floored by how stupid their coaching staff was.

Not suprized just floored.

 

[LandryFan]

One of the ESPN NY reporters is speculating that Eli and/or the coaches thought the Cowboys were out of timeouts at that point. Because, clearly, that's the only way you're attempting not to score.

I read the article, and he was told not to score by Eli...apparently the coaches weren't in on the decision. Eli took the blame. He thought Dallas had used a time out when the clock stopped because of the penalty and was shocked when Dallas called a time out after the second down run.

No one really knows what was going on ( including the giants) but I'll just say it is sure nice to be discussing other coaches gaffes at the end of the game instead of our own

 

[JD_KaPow]

I just can't believe that, because it's way too stupid to be true. They wouldn't want to go up 10 points with less than 2 minutes left? Even if they thought we'd have one or two TOs left, that's absurd.

 

[conner01]

That is just stupid, why would you not want to go up by two scores with 2 minutes left?

If that is true the Giants may really be the dumbest team in the nfl
I suspect it's more cover for the fact they didn't score because they can't be dumb enough to not want to go up by 2 scores

 

[EPL0c0]

That is just stupid, why would you not want to go up by two scores with 2 minutes left?

It's obvious the Giants were worried that if they scored a TD there and made it a 10-pt game, that it left too much time on the clock AND that Romo could drive the Cowboys down the field for a touchdown AND then Cowboys recover the on-side kick, AND then Romo drives them down for a game-winning FG.

lol

 

[ABQcowboyJR]

It's dumb enough to where I don't really believe its true. Come on Rashaad, you couldn't get it done man...simple as that.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

He couldn't score even if he wanted to. Our guys was hitting him behind the line of scrimmage right after the handoff. He wants to make it seem he could score anytime he wanted haha you had 60 minutes and did nothing

 

[mattjames2010]

Did every Giants' player/coach go brain dead in the 4th?

 

[theogt]

For the sake of Giants fans, I hope this isn't true.

 

[superonyx]

have any of these losers came out and admitted that they didn't play very well as a team and that they were lucky to even be in that game?
I think they can grow more as a team if they stop blaming each other for stupid decisions and just accept that they have some places they need to improve on.

I would hate if we lost and our players were acting this way.

 

[Skafko]

if it is true, they would be qb kneeling and not risking fumble

[YosemiteSam]

He wasn't going to score anyway.

 

[slomoxn]

Well the way the dline got in he didn't really need to worry about it

 

[knightrider94]

Even if it was true, why would you come out to the media and SAY it????? You just threw your coach and qb under the bus!

 

[manster4ever]

The Fix was obviously in...lol

 

[JoeBoBBY]

Whatever went down. I was in shock, in shock I tell you, we got the ball back with so much time on the clock and only down by 6.


Even then Romo was off the hook. I mean that drive was all Romo. Unbeleivable that guy is....

 

[Seven]

Sounds like someones worried about jersey sales.

I don't like Coughlin but he isn't THAT dumb is he?
