What is your take on this, bold move or or bad etiquette?

I agree with Schiano, if you have a chance of knocking the ball out of the QB's hands and cause a turnover and possibly score the winning touchdown then do it.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Tom Coughlin got heated with Greg Schiano after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' first-year coach told his players to knock Eli Manning to the ground as the franchise quarterback took a knee on the final play of the game.

Coughlin sought out Schiano on the field following the New York Giants' 41-34 victory and yelled at the former Rutgers coach.

"I don't think you do that at this level," Coughlin said after the game. "You don't do that in this league. You don't jeopardize the offensive line, you (don't) jeopardize the quarterback. Thank goodness we didn't get anybody hurt, that I know of, a couple of linemen were late coming in (after end of game)."

With the Giants lined up in their victory formation, Tampa Bay brought pressure on the last play of the game, forcing Manning back and knocking him down. Replays showed that Manning was not expecting the rush with the game all but decided.

I remember in high school we where taking a knee to end the game and I got knocked on my a*s. So yes play till the whistle blows. It is football for goodness sake. Bucs where just trying to cause a turnover.

Herman Edwards said it best: "You play to win the game!" Whether the first minute or 59th minute

It would be nice if they hit Manning before he passed for 510 yards lol.

I concur and I believe Manning and Vick should be banned from the game for life. Vick for the obvious and Manning for acting like a ***** when San Diego drafted him.
