I see it as a heads-up play on his part, something if Brady did it we'd say was brilliant. Hats off to him for taking advantage of the situation when the chips were down.
It looked just like any number of other turtlings he's done this season. It was intentional. It's what he does at this point to protect himself. You can look on their forums where even the Donk fans mock him for it.I doubt it was by design. What I think happened is that he felt a little pressure and slid forward to avoid any possible hit. He then realized that no one was around him so he popped up and threw it. Play should have been dead as soon as he slid.
Manning clearly gave himself up. You have to be blind not to see that. However, since Manning is now claiming what he's claiming, 31 teams should make sure to go up to the officiating crew before playing Manning in a game and say:
"When we drill Manning while he's on the ground, remember that he claims that getting up after "falling down" is in his playbook, so we'd better not draw a penalty."

the problem is that someone might not be close enough to touch him right away if he slides down after feeling a bit if pressure. Like I said, sets a bad precedent. What if a pitt defender cleaned his clocked as manning was just starting to get up yesterday? Would there be any doubt it would have been a personal foul? He slid down, play over...but then he gets to get back up again and throw it when he realizes no one is actually close enough to touch him after he ridiculously folds after feeling just a tiny bit of pressure?
Of course, he could touch him down. I don't begrudge anyone to try something that might work.
I saw the play in question. Defender never touched him..ever.
Peyton just got back up after falling down and made his play but I saw nothing that shows he was down other then the fact that he fell down evading a rush...this isn't college so that does not count.(as far as I know)
Sorry guys.
Lets just stick with inserting clever lyrics in the Nationwide jingle.
If this happens next week, I hope our D hits him hard. I'll take the 15.Ridiculous non-whistle. There was a half second where he clearly turtled. End of play.
Uh, too many syllables.I was only joking when I fell down. (Sung to the Nationwide tune.)
He has been assuming the fetal position on the ground without being touched all season long. This is the first time I know of that he got up and played on.Would be really useful to see a compilation vid. Don't recall him doing this before.
It's bullcrap. A defender can easily get flagged for unnecessary roughness even if the hit comes before the whistle.Seems smart play on his part, just playing to the whistle.
It's not that simple. What do you do if you're a defender and you see him take a dive to the ground then pop back up? "Just touching him" won't get the job done in that situation.Just touch the f*cker down and be done with it. If this is what he's resorting to . . . LMFAO.
Pats lose a 1 and a 3rd.iam sure the league will address the play officiating
I'm willing to accept one roughing the passer call just to see one of the Pats defensive lineman hit him so hard he never pulls this crap again.

You have to touch him down in that situation. Whistle to whistle. If the ref doesn't whistle the play over then the play is still happening.
One of my favorite Brady passes came when he fell backwards and threw a 1st down while sitting on the field. I couldn't find a clip of that play, but I did find this one.
Situational awareness.
