The last play of the New York Giants and Washington Redskins game this past Thursday is sparking some controversy.
Mathias Kiwanuka was rushing the passer and had Samuel beat off the line. However, Samuel made a last effort to prevent a sack by pulling down Kiwanuka from behind, resulting in a declined penalty to end the game.
It also resulted in a scary moment for Giants fans as the DE gone LB rolled on the ground in pain. In the wake of the loss of Umenyiora for the year, another defensive line injury would result in serious depth chart issues. (The play in question can be seen

An article in the New York Daily News reports that Tom Coughlin had a short word with Samuel, who only said he did not mean for that to happen. Kiwanuka stated he felt the play was dirty.
Nothing like a little finger pointing to make the Nov. 30 game even more exciting.
Don't you love the NFC East?

It was totally dirty play, on the last play of the game no less. Samuels was beat so he intentionally fell on the back of Kiwanuka's legs. You just don't do that, and Craig up there is a moron.

Thank you for the comment Osi, and it deffinetly was a dirty play... and he intentionally did tackle Kiwi. But I am not so sure that his intentions were to injure him... I think it was more..."oh crap, I suck at being a lineman, what do i do now" and the result was that play

A "moron"? Your the one without the balls to use our real name, and never the ability to use any facts to back up your opinions.

I felt bad about the moron comment right after I made it. No room for that here and I apologize. I was just pissed off. You're still wrong though and a major apologist for the Skins.
