I agree that was a bad call, HOWEVER... Eli Manning says he told Rashad Jennings not to score. They have bigger issues.

A high school student called it in the comments section. Eli was trying to take time off the clock. Call it fear of Romo, mistrust in the defense, overthinking, whatever. There was a reason for not wanting to give the ball back with that much time on the clock.

Remember how Seattle got beat in 33 seconds when Dallas was down by two scores? Bledsoe threw a TD pass to T.O...then an onside kick got the ball back for Dallas and scored again while the Seattle fans were leaving the stadium thinking they won lol....until the crowd (what was left of it) went crazy and Dallas won. So to narrow it down....even if the Giants had a two score lead with over a minute left...there was a strong possibility that Romo could have still won the game condsidering the fact that he leads the league with 4th qtr come back wins. End of discussion. Bradford was in the exact situation and could not even pull off a win with his weapons...but instead threw an easy interception and ended the game with a loss. There is no comparison to Romo in the last minute of a football game folks.

Nice call, Cindy.

What is wrong with Manning asking Jennings to not score on first two downs if he got close to goal line? The idea was to eat up time without allowing Dallas to call time out.
