Why was coughlin mad at schiano

Pathetic, but I would expect no less after a day of cheap shots and infractions that they got away with. Coughlin should be giving him grief for that. It was classless and stupid. Even if they got him to fumble, they would not have had time to run a play. I get playing tough, and the Bucs did that all game, but at the end like that, you have to show some class and professionalism. The Bucs failed in that compleatly. Lost in this mess is that Tampa was taking advantage of the replacement officials big time.

Aquib Talib was holding Nicks every play. Save that effort for preventing a team from scoring 25 points in the final 15 minutes. Bucs got absolutely hosed on that call overturning that catch late at the very end. So sad. Eli was money again in the 4th quarter, as he was all of last year. Yes, he stunk it up in the first half he threw high all afternoon , but redeemed himself with 21 straight points down in the 3rd.

Officiating was terrible on both sides of the ball today, was an exciting game to watch though. Plus Nicks torched him for yards, come on, shut up! I missed the play. What,exactly, happened? No mention of what the incident was. I guess maybe a D lineman tried to tackle Eli on a kneeldown…?

But he maintained possession, and it WAS a catch. Today, Williams dropped the ball. Know the rule before you comment. Had Eli actually fumbled, everyone would be praising schiano for calling it.

What was he trying to do, get a penalty on TB? Honestly Coughlin should be happy with Schiano, for giving them back this game. Worst officiated game I have seen in a while. How is that not a catch by Williams? How was that not a blow to the head when the giants d blew up VJax? Just a poorly officiated game all around.. No football move was made. That play has been called like that for years and was obvious. Pass defense was bad but Mike Williams had 3 chances to make a huge play and failed twice.

And the two times he did fail were plays that should be made with ease. The Bucs played some dirty football today. They were going at guys knees, holding, and always taking the extra cheap shot. That style of play wont fly with any opposing coach not just Coughlin. They played to the end. If you think you can get the ball back and win the game, why not?

That being said, there was still some football left to be played. Eli could have backed up a few steps and kneeled it. And with all these people all on here complaining the refs missed penalties on the Bucs. What about the blatant facemask on Doug Martin that would have put us on the Giants 35? According to The Star-Ledger , Coughlin was upset that Bucs defenders attempted to tackle Giants quarterback Eli Manning during a kneel-down in the final seconds.

Not only that, you jeopardize the offensive line, you jeopardize the quarterback. Thank goodness we didn't get anybody hurt -- that I know of. A couple of linemen were late getting in. Manning told reporters after the game that he took "a little bit of a cheap shot" on the play, according to the Post. Wide receiver Victor Cruz made several mentions of a "cheap shot" during his time with reporters. Defensive lineman Justin Tuck said the play " won't be forgotten. Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said the players were just doing as they're instructed, and Schiano confirmed that, saying it's something his Rutgers teams always did.

And there's nothing dirty about it, there's nothing illegal about it. We crowd the ball like a sneak defense and try to knock it loose. Read full article. The Sports Xchange.
