Stafford was the most animated NFL player ever both before and after the play. I wonder if the O-Line knew what he was about to do?

Did not look like it - no one moved other than Stafford on the snap. I think he alone knew he was doing something other than spike

Would have been nice had the 'Boys won... Oh well. Exciting finish

And Freeman might have been concussed towards the end: »espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/ ··· oncussed

That game on Monday night was one of the worst we'll see in the NFL this season. Or in many seasons.

The only reason the Giants won is because one of the teams on the field had to, and the Vikings are actually a worse team right now.
The Giants O-Line is bad, the Defense is bad, and Special Teams is bad. If they keep playing like this, they may beat Oakland in a few weeks and get a good draft pick.

They had a QB with less then 2 weeks experience. It was a give-me for the Giants but that might screw them for a draft pick.

And I think it's hilarious how these commentators are saying how bad the game was: not real football, just like a pre-season game, it's our job to cover the game, etc.

I just feel bad for AP. With no one worrying about Freeman, they just focused on limiting AP.

Wow, I didn't realize it was just Scott and Hillis in the backfield this week. And Hillis was signed on Wednesday!

Anyway, good first drive by the Giants, but only 3 points.

The 79 yard pick-six the Pats had skews the stats a bit. And the Jets ran the ball all day resulting in a big time of possession.
Brady threw a few very bad passes too.

Oh trust me, I blame them completely for even LETTING it get into OT, as the team in typical fashion, called in the 2nd half. But to make such a bullshit call at such a crucial moment in a game, that ultimately affects the outcome..... Sorry, that's just bad officiating. Teams better not stack on endzone stands anymore, because that's EXACTLY what they're supposed to do to hold the line.

Good grief, anyone watch Denver/Indy last night? Yeah, I'm happy Denver lost, but one of the "roughing the passer" calls called on Denver was such bullshit, I couldn't believe they even made the call! When the defenseman chest-bumped Luck and he went flailing down selling it, then they throw the flag for a 15-yard penalty. Pure bullshit. Sure, it wasn't a game-winning/losing call, but it was still nonsense.

Yea the Pat's lost long before that penalty gave the Jets the game in OT. Over double the penalty yards given up by the Pat's and about double the TOP.

The Ref's gave the Jet's the game the same way against the Buc's in Week 1. It was the 'safe' call in both cases and could have gone either way in both cases.

I can't read the article you posted Websense has it marked as "Tasteless". Not sure how credible a source that is given that. I live less then 30 minutes from the Pat's and while no one liked the call it was the right call.

Da Bears did not get it done though. And seeing Jay go down was not a good thing

Thanks to the Bengals, though, Da Bears still have that tie for 1st Place in the NFC North, with the Packers due up next on MNF after the Week 8 bye
