On the punt return, which of these things...

...was going through Duron Harmon's mind?

A. "Hey, a conga line is starting! La cucha-ra-cha!!!"

B. "Ooh... they've got brats cookin' on the sideline... lemme through!"

C. "Danny... you're so awesome... I just wanna be close to you..."

None of them? Then, really... WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING?!?!?! LOL

Maybe he has Brady on his Fantasy team and wanted an easy shot at a TD ?

Dunno he somehow managed to leap over Kearse so I know he can avoid ball carriers. Must have been the same coach who instructed McCourty on angles.

That take down saved us in the end.Pats wasted about 2 extra minutes
of game time.

Just wanted to give the D some rest. Well timed.

I don't know what Harmon was thinking, but I'm guessing that Chung was thinking the same thing. He was right there and saw Harmon trip Amendola but instead of trying to alert Amendola he just started celebrating.

Was anyone else worried that Amendola was going to leave the ball on the ground for a Giants player to pick up before the whistle?

At first I thought he pulled a hammy.

I know. Damned annoying. I was hoping one of them would help Amendola to his feet quickly and tell him that his own guy knocked him down and to keep going.

Harmon can at times do some boneheaded plays.

Wanna bet BB served up a heaping slice of humble pie using that as the recipe?

To be fair, amendola makes a sharp cut back to avoid nobody. Keep going straight and he has a td.

The real questions should be why did Amendola cut back into the middle and why didn't he get up after he fell. At the angle Harmon was heading it appeared that he was trying to get behind Amendola to block the player that Amendola was cutting in to avoid.

I thought there was a Giants player trailing and Harmon was heading toward him.

I think he thought a Giant tripped him, I don't think he knew he could get up and run until it was too late.

Amendola has been clutch this year. In about every game he's made one or two big plays.

I was reading the giants forum a few days ago and one of the Giants fan said they should have thrown it to one of the gunners because he wasn't covered. I took a look at it and he was right. Chung and Richards were single covering the gunners. They both suddenly moved in between the numbers and left the gunners who were outside the numbers uncovered. Richards moves back a little but stays just inside the number. Chung doesn't move. Dwayne Harris is uncovered. Were they trying to bait the Giants? I think the Giants should have taken advantage of that and get the punter to throw it to Harris for the easy completion. That could go for a TD.

I hope Zolak asks BB about that on belichick breakdown.

They showed Hsrmon on the sidelines after the play - sitting all alone, with his face buried in his hands. He knows he messed up big time and the players will rub it in no doubt this week.

The good news here is that they won the game, so it becomes a point of teasing. If they'd lost...

jules did the same thing on a reception, dude had at least another ten yards of open field, and he cut back and instantly got tackled.
