NFL sides with Buccaneers on kneel-down controversy

The headline is misleading. The NFL didn't side with Schiano, the NFL simply stated no rule was broken.

As for the play itself, stupid of the Bucs. If they really wanted to get to the ball, they should've sent players to jump over the line, not dive at the knees-feet of the center and guards.

Yep, and this type of play can come back on you too.

Its funny that Josh Freeman got his panties twisted when Harper tried to tackle him (legally) as he was going out of bounds.

There's no time to get to the quarterback on a kneel down. That's why you have to try to disrupt the center to try to cause a fumble. It would take absolutely perfect timing, but you have to try anything you can to win the game. It's funny how these guys maul each other the entire game, but on the last play, they think it's bad form to be physical. I hate the Bucs, but this isn't something I can hold against them.

... yeah, like there's time to "disrupt" the center-QB snap... good one.

You have to time your jump perfectly. It's not a high probability, but neither is a hail mary. I can always count on your classless sarcasm in here.

It's not a matter of WILL it work, but rather it COULD work. Giving up is unacceptable.

Classless sarcasm? Oh, I am so hurt.

Hey, you can avoid my "classless sarcasm" by not replying to my posts or typing dumb things when replying to my posts. Simple.

Don't need you to be hurt by it. Merely pointing out a fact. You never reply to me in any kind of mature manner. But suit it yourself... If my posts were so dumb, where is your rebuttal? I am making a point. Where's yours?
