Obviously it was not malicious cause Samuels stood over Kiwanuka knowing he did wrong. What Pierce did was far more devious. I would not be happy if it happened to one of our guys, so I understand your point, but the fact that Samuels stood over him in an "apology" like stance means it was just an accident.

I could seriously watch Cliton Portis pass block all day long. Say what you will about him overall compared to other backs in the league, but I dont think there is a better back at this than Portis.

I think Samuels was beat and decided to hold him but it ended up hurting lil buddy he is no John Runyan (I think that is right) tho

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Every tackle in the league is going to hold and drag down a defender on occasion to protect their QB.

[hagams]

The only thing I don't like about the wonderful hit Clinton put on, is that he didn't even search for someone else to engage afterwards. The play wasn't over yet, and he's talking trash as soon as he hits the ground. But, other than that....awesome.

Kiwanuka is a pussy and Pierce is a punk. I agree completely with Tuck. Samuels wasn't trying to be a dirty player but there is no way he'd let Kiwanuka put his QB out for the season.

I really don't think anyone on the Giants, especially Pierce, are in a position to comment on "cheap shots".

[sportscurmudgeon]

Anyone who does not think that was a cheap shot by Samuels on the last play of the game forfeits their right to screech when the Giants take a cheap shot on Samuels in the rematch. I fully expect at least one shot to Samuels lower legs in the second game. It will cost the Giants 15 yards, but I expect it will happen.

People don't seem to understand the difference between an illegal play and a cheap shot. Samuel's tackling of Kiwanuka was clearly against the rules (i.e., illegal). However, there is nothing that suggests it was an attempt to hurt Kiwanuka (i.e., a cheap shot).

Holding,grabing some Jersey ...yup illegal but not cheap I agree,diving on the mans legs from behind..............dirty.I can defend myself when I see a player coming at me but when they come from behind there is nothing a man can do.What people seem to forget also is he just sat out most of last year with a broken leg ...the same leg.Why do you think a clip is illegal or no blocking in the back,or even the horse coller rule?

They're being worst than the Redskins fans who are overreacting. If Giants' fans want to cry about something, they should whine about their offense not being able to put the game away.

Ugh let it go. There was no diving on his legs he simply held him and brought him down.

If it was dirty the league will fine Samuels.
