Hard to accuse Moss of giving up on a route that had carried all but his toes out of bounds, thrown slightly behind him, and on which the QB had already gone beyond the line of scrimmage (how can you give up on a pass route when the play can no longer legally be considered a pass??). The pick was all Jason.
Sometimes you guys hate just to hate. I mean jeeez.

That was a pretty picture you painted partner but I saw it differently. I saw that Moss was possibly supposed to run an out route. He ran up and started out. He slowed down to almost a walk. When seeing JC scrambling he continued his route at a slow jog and ran toward the side line. At the point JC was scrambling He was only 5yrds off the side line. He had to stop to keep his toes in bounds no doubt. The defender ran into him (which I still think should have been a foul) knocking him out of bounds prior to the interception.
All JC...no. Sorry. When he saw his QB was in trouble he should have came back to the ball, changed his out route to an in route/slant, faked the defender with a stop and go...anything but he didn't. He continued his route to the sideline with little room left to continue. That's atleast half his fault also.
JC on the other hand should have thrown the ball away.
Between the defense trying so hard to punish the Giants with outstanding hits that they missed tackles and the offense trying to hard to make a play we lost.
