Um, no. That is absolutely absurd.

Overreaction. Mathews was benched to send him a message. He will start next week.

Yup, ended up with the league low this week after blowing out my first two opponents.

Why split hairs? The whole point is to change the lineup before anything happens. If the call was 8:29 I can tell you that nothing had happened except perhaps the ball was set on the tee. Let the lineup change go through. This is a friggin game.

I think he'll miss more than 1 game and I also think that while brown has been named the starter, Wilson will get his chances making neither of them worth a piss.

Ouch. Mathews should be playing this week. I think Hillis is in for a decent game.

Its obvious that those who took this issue personally have never let logic creep into their side of the argument. This thread is full of irrational whining by those calling for Schiano's head.

I have seen nothing offensively from my beloved team this season to lead me to believe they will drop 34 on Monday. Hope I'm wrong.

Relax, he's not interested in facts.

Really overestimated so far. Have him in 2 of 3 leagues and have been starting him. Moving him on over to the bench now. How does a guy dominate Manning's attention in preseason and then become an afterthought? I've been wrong before but this one throws me.

I'm 1-1 in my league and anxiously awaiting Mathews' return. Especially since my WR trio is very mediocre. But on topic, I think Battle has very minimal value unless Mathews is going down.

The issue will not be that Hernandez got injured, they have plenty of weapons. The issue is how bad the offensive line is. Brady is running for his life. I have Luck on my bench and will not be starting him over Brady. However, If I owned RGIII and he had a decent match up, I would probably play him. I am hoping their line can gel over the next few weeks. He should be okay after that.

YES YOU ABSOLUTE MORON! I DO!!!!! You're starting to get it! If I'm coaching and my team can win with a fumble recovery and score YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I'M HAVING THEM PLAY TO THE WHISTLE. If another coach wants to concede defeat, fine with me. That is THEIR decision. It has nothing to do with having it both ways. You're arguments are also getting worse with why they didn't do it at the end of the first half. It is not a do or die situation at the end of the 1st. Not to mention 1 tiny detail....THEY WERE FOCKING WINNING at the time.

I may be dumb but I didn't think kneel downs counted in the official stats. But I don't think I've ever paid attention before.

To each their own. If a team wants to concede defeat, that is up to them. The Bucs didn't want to. Giants fans need to get over it. You're taking it personally because its your team. There is no definitive support for your position on this argument. I have witnessed this multiple times throughout my life in the NFL so to say it is not done or its an unwritten rule is bull. The game was within reach, they didn't want to quit. Frankly, as someone who played offensive line for years, I can't believe they didn't recognize they were coming. It was freakin obvious.
