WFAN may have gotten this story wrong. The intended receiver on that play was an offensive guard, so he was clearly ineligible unless he had lined up as an end and was announced as an eligible receiver.

Mike Francesa is saying that Siber (sp?) who fell down was lined up as an eligible receiver.

I see -- I hadn't heard that.

Not that the Giants deserved another shot at it anyway. If I were the coach and my team had been given another chance on the play, then I would have punted the ball away just to make a point.

If the guard lined up as an eligible receiver than he would have reported to the refs before the snap. The referee than must inform the defensive captain. I doubt that happened and Francesa is a fat whining toad.
