Kiwanuka, what the fuck was that? 4th and 10, around 2min to go, he has Young all wrapped up and he just lets him go! If he takes him to the ground … GAME OVER!

Did he think he was in the grasp? Was he afraid of a roughing call?
I have never seen anything like tha before. It was bizarre.
I think if you had a gimped up/pocket passer only QB like Bledsoe, then they would likely call in the grasp.
But not with a mobile qb like Young. I would think that if Young is outside the tackles - the refs have to consider him a viable rushing threat, and nothing short of a full, on the ground tackle would stop the play.
Watching Eli crash and burn has been one of the best things about this season. One thing is for sure: He is nothing like his big brother.
Anyone want to take a bet on the Cowboy-Giant game next week?

I disagree about the “in the grasp” ruling…
Every ref calls it a different way and I think at the rules conference this off-season, hey have to formalize it to a 2 count, 3 count, whatever.
Kiwanuka was damned if he did on that play, because the refs are too fucking quick to throw their flags for Roughing the Passer if you even look at the precious little sweetheart QB’s wrong.
About the bet…I’l take it, fucker, even though I have no faith ion my beloved Giants, especially against a surging 'Boys team coming off ten day’s rest.
How about this: we lose, I’ll post a picture wearing a TO jersey and my cowboy hat.
You lose, I want a pic of you in a Giants jersey (of your choice) and a couple big gold chains around your neck.
Man enough?
