Wow, that was all Amendola faking them out! I had no idea.

Man the Giants really should have thrown the ball to Harris. Heck they shouldn't even had to audible. Make it a if you see this look that's what you do.

Great job by Amendola, I love how as soon as he turns it up field Giants are getting taken out. Always cool to see that.

Interesting how different that description of the play is from BB's. In particular, BB said that the rush had the effect of tying a lot of Giants up.

But BB did also praise the Giants for getting the punt off quickly despite the efforts to block it.

As much as Harmon should be held responsible for the "trip", I wonder why Amendola did not keep running right down the sideline instead of cutting in towards the middle of the field?

Gotta be an audible. How does the long snapper know who to snap it to? He's got his head down, not standing up looking around to see how the opponent is aligned.

Just get the Punter to throw it.
