You know you'd be mad if a Skin did a little embellishing against the Gmen. Admit it.

I never attended any CLASS where they taught grown men to fall on the ground like toddlers.

That isn't NFL conduct.

That's English Premier League jive turkey garbage.

I feel bad that you have to try and defend that pitiful display.

[Alvin Walton]

Kinda like fainting goats.

[CrustyRedskin]

If you aint cheatin you aint trying.

So wack, the defensive coordinator should be suspended and the player fined. I agree, you have to nip it in the butt before it gets out of hand like in soccer. I know that it is subjective and not easy to fine, but that was clear faking. At least hobble a bit, grab you leg and slowly drop down.

I can't say I've ever heard that expression...

Giants could have at least had just one person fall, not two.

Looking around I guess there really is no rule against it. But the league should send a message. Instead of passing out fines they should look at it as if the team cheated and award the Rams with the victory. The league should basically say that because the Giants and Chargers had players who faked injuries then it's considered cheating and due to that the team "forfiets" the game. Rule that if the opposing team did not win the game then the losing team has become the winner due to cheating by the opponant.

How do you prove they faked the injury? They could just say thet got so tired they got light head and alomost passed out and there is no rule against falling down because of this.

And there in lies the problem. But even if they were dehydrated in most cases they are taken into the locker room and and IV put in to get rehydrated. You'll never see two guys go down walk off the field, stand on the sideline, and come back in during the next play. Usually someone who has had a fainting spell, or has had a dizzy spell is sitting on the bench being attended to by the physician. They want to know why they had the issue in the first place.

Again I know it might be hard to determine, which is your arguement and the league does not have a rule because the Refs are not doctors and they don't want players staying on the field playing (as in concussions) if they are truly injured. But if you use some common sense (which is all I'm asking) if a player went down due to injury then they would be on the sideline getting looked at, carried off the field, or something. They don't walk off the field and stand on the sideline with out attention waiting for their turn to go back in.

I thought it was funny as hell. All teams have done this its just they FU and two players did it at the same time.

[MTK]

Everyone does it, it's cheap and it's shitty. The commish should definitely look into fining guys for it.

I think it's a bit extreme to call it cheating though.

[Monkeydad]

They should have just run the play. It was obvious that Grant was faking it...I spotted it immediately.

The Giants' D was getting winded and run down the field. The Rams had some serious momentum going and that craptactic killed it.
