Did anyone happen to notice the fake injuries on MNF last night? Giants were trying to slow down Sam and the Rams and two guys faked an injury and just went fainting goat on 'em. Sorry no link not sure if anyone else saw that last night. Really, really embarrassing for the Giants.

Perhaps the players will self-regulate like NASCAR drivers do. Fake an injury, and an opponent will give you a real one a few plays later.

THE SYSTEM WORKS! :P

That works. The NFL is big on fines. Hit them on the field then hit them in the wallet

An easy solution would be make them sit out for the rest of the series. Twice rest of the half, three times rest of the game. People wouldn't fake it then.

One cool thing about that was the fact that Sam is moving that offense just as fast in the Pro's as he was at Oklahoma

1 game suspension. Then coaches would not instruct players to pull this kind of crap.

What if it was a legit injury? That's why I like my idea better.

I like your idea too during the game. I'm talking about post game, once it's determined that the injury was clearly faked. The player is suspended for 1 game.

I don't see why the refs had to stop play. The giants player was down on his side of the line of scrimmage. It wasn't a head injury. Just allow play to continue. If they want play to stop call a timeout or commit a pre-snap penalty.

Even the announcers called it faking.

All the sports talk shows today were saying the same thing. Anyone that watched it couldn't say anything else - it was beyond obvious.

It wasn't. That should be a 15-yard penalty.
