Around The NFL week 2

[Ruhskins]

Since Tom Brady and Cam Newton already have their own threads, I thought I would keep this on this thread. Props to Ray Ray for reaching this milestone: 2,500 tackles.

Let's all take time and bask in the glory of our NFC East leading 2-0 Washington Redskins... everything looks so beautiful from the top.

Yeah.. Now we face a rival in Dallas who will be missing a few players it looks like, and potentially Romo. If we come out with a win here, and go to the Rams the following week. We could be looking at 4-0 entering the BYE!!!!

Rams looked sloppy tonight.

Pass rush is still strong for Dallas and the Lambs. For the Skins, that means both games will struggles. We are not cakewalking anyone just yet. That might come later in the season as they climb that learning curve.

I'd try not to look that far ahead Bucket.

It's nice and that would be a feat, but you can never just count wins like that until the game is played.

I'm a fan. I'm looking far ahead as possible. That's why i'm a fan because I can hope! If I was a player it would be different.

Didn't really know where to post this, but i noticed that on that play where Grossmans pass got batted up in the air and he swatted it down that he was actually trying aim that swat at Helu for a completion. did everyone else notice that and im just completely oblivious?

anyone catch the giants d faking injuries last night to slow down bradford and the rams. the rams drove right down the feild killing the giants with their no huddle and when they got to the 7 two giants took a dive to stop play. the rams ended up getting a fg after about a 4 minute stoppage. imo this is cheating and hopefully goodell can take some time away from handing out fines for hits and fine the shit outta both players on the giants that went down. if they don't nip this in the bud i could easily see it getting way out of hand.

It's somewhat legal I thought? Said player has to leave the game for the next play though, unless the team takes a timeout. But in any event I for some reason thought they took away timeouts for injuries? or atleast it seems like they do that.

they have to leave the feild for one play unless a timeout is called. during the last two minutes of either half teams are automatically charged a timeout, i beleive there is a clock run off if they have no timeouts but not 100% on that. it is technically legal under the rules that are in place now, but it's just dirty, and imo it's borderline cheating because of the way they are manipulating the rules to work for them.

it will undoubtedly be a very case to case type of reveiw, but to say the only way to fine them is if they admit there was an injury is not the awnser. in some circumstances it might not even have that large of an impact of the game it self. in this instance though the rams were running their hurry up to precision and had the giants gasping for air and were most likely about to score. instead the giants have two guys go down faking injuries and slowing down the rams offesnse, while not having to burn any of their timeouts. the giants then get a break and get to regain their composure. it's just wrong.

i really think goodell has to do something to the giants be it the staff, the players, or both, the latter being my preference. they did this on mnf with the whole country watching, this is the prime time to set an example.

Yes, thank you for reminding me. Maybe if the team in the lead is the one using this tactic (as the Giants were) then instead of a time run off they add more time to the clock and take away a timeout of the team using said tactic. Or in this situation they could have called unsports man like conduct and moved the Rams half the distance to the goal or put them on the 1 yrd line. Or given the Rams an extra play to get into the endzone.
