    The coach had under 44 and didn't want to chance the Giants scoring again. He was happy with the push.

    It's called an under fix.

    LMAO at the Rams Punting!

    4th down and 28 down 12 points with 1 minute and change in the game. If they go for it and don't get it, the giants are going to take a kneel down anyway.



    What a HAMBURGER team the Rams are

    very strange! Giants ould kneel from both spots. You give your self no chance to win the game by punting. If bradford gets a quick touchdown and onside kick they could win. Makes no sense to punt there.

    How the hell do you punt at the end, Spags???

    I understand they had about .001% of a chance to win, but to just concede defeat like that at the end is unreal to me.....I mean run a trick play, throw a bomb, maybe get a PI or late hit or something.....

    But to punt it there is really one of the pussiest moves I've ever seen in my life.......

    I won Rams 2nd half as my only real bet of the night, but needed Rams to cover to win my weekly pool so whatever I'm not bitter or anything as I won money tonight.....

    But still......Anyone else have an opinion on this, I'm curious to hear it

    Let's just put it this way: I'm very happy he is not the coach of my favorite team.......Some of the most pussy shit I've ever seen in my life

    Giants were just gunna kneel it anyway like they did, so WTF

    Spagnuolo had under 44 and wanted to be sure he'd salvage his push.

    I had the Giants and the under, so I was happy, but that is some seriously weak sauce coaching.

    You know what the conversion rate on 4th and long on a team on the road is in the NFL? 10%

    Still shocked at that call......I understand if they were down more than 2 scores, but I've never seen a coach just give up like that

    Makes no sense at all!!!

    Does it matter where the Giants kneel out the clock? At least take a shot.

    I have no idea why a team would just concede defeat like that...I also don't know why they're punting with 6 mins left needing two scores and not having all their timeouts....very confusing stuff

    That's still 10% better then they had punting the ball. I don't think I've ever seen a team quit like this in my life

    I feel bad for Rams fans......they have a great young qb to build around, but obviously the biggest pussy in the league as their headcoach.......Spags will never win a superbowl because its obvious he is either clueless or doesn't have a real killer instinct

    You know the chance of the Rams winning if they choose to punt?

    Absolutely, 0%

    Joking guys.

    And even if the Giants ran the score up, a loss is a loss anyway

    They would have knelt though, Coughlin and Spags are tight

    Makes NO SENSE

    As long as it's more than 0.000000% then it's more than enough to justify a try.

    All I know is if my favorite team, the Jets, gave up like this, I would be livid......It's not like it really mattered at all cause I know the Rams had basically no chance, but its a lot deeper than that to me.......To give up like that is really just sickening

    Difference is the rams still had a chance to win the game. Teams should play to win if they have a chance to. They could of scored and got an onside kick and scored again to win. A coach should almost get fired for such a stupid call.
