People are acting as if Thibodeaux knew Foles was writhing in pain, and was celebrating to spite him and the Colts, and somehow people are acting as if this act (which he clearly did not know Foles was hurt) is akin to a completely dirty play - which is what the COLTS did to Daniel Jones later in the game. I made that point yesterday. What the Colts did was FAR worse. They intentionally tried to hurt Jones.

Yes! the giants actually took the high road at the end. I'm a bitch myself. I would have gone for another TD at the end to rub it in. Pittman Jr. on their team also was a punk.

Strahan must have celebrated with that jumpshot "Ballin" thing a million times when a QB was down - were you guys crying about that as well? For fuck sake.

And there was a season some years back where we knocked like starting qbs out of the game like 4 games ago and this place was celebrating the heck out of that.

not condoning this, but Giants fans used to kind of celebrate how many QBs their defense used to knock out of games in 1986. I think six QBs or so didn't finish the game agains the Giants that year.

the "shut up, old man, nobody knows who you are" comments get funnier and funnier to me. Still think he shouldn't have done the go-to-sleep thing, but what do I know.

after he tripped him, causing his shoulder injury and getting a lot of heat.
Sometimes it's best to just shut your yap.

It had the feeling of Foles wanting to get the hell out of there.

I thought the same exact thing. Actually said this at my gathering on Sunday.

Every team would want their defensive line to knock the QB out of the game so long as its not a serious type injury or intentional, which is exactly what happened in this case. Thibodeaux drilled him right in the ribs, perfect hit. And it really doesn't even seem like he's injured at all!

another example, the Bills hit on Mike White was celebrated by Bills fans a few weeks back. That hit was much worse than Thibs, and it was a legal play.

what kind of shit Saturday pulled to land this HC job. WSe all know Irsay is a slime bag coke sniffing fucko who is capable of just about anything.

Anyone care to delve into how the fuck a decent HC like Reich gets fired, MID SEASON, when the season wasn't even lost yet by any means, and replaced by a guy WITH ABSOLUTELY NO real coaching experience? Care to shed light into what bill of goods Saturday sold to Irsay? Is it at all possible Saturday said or did some things that could be seen as "unsavory" or considered as stabbing one in the back?

Nah, can't be that. I am sure Saturday followed all moral standards and earned that gig.

things like this barely draw a thought in my head. Who cares what either have said.

The only banter this year that got my undies in a twist was the bellyaching Washington, and their fans, did about the officiating in game two. I'm so glad they came apart at the seems to end the season.

the team was what, 3-5? They didn't quit on the HC.

Saturday can go piss up a rope. He likely helped to fuck Reich right out of a job if I had to bet.

There was a similar thing in recent times. I don’t remember which season but I think it was one of the years we had Boley.

Looks like the "hurt" happened because he landed on the ball near the base of his ribs. Along with whatever bruising he has, he likely had the wind knocked out of him.

It is strange..I know quite a few Dallas and Philly fans, all good friends. Horrible "fans" but good people.

However, everyone I know - even slightly - that is a Washington fan - they just dont seem to be good people.

To do snow angels on the turf.

Boley took out Romo. Broken clavicle IIRC.

Maybe he’ll drop the snow angel and just lift his leg.

He absolutely did. Did you see Irseys interview this past Sunday? He readily admitted that he wouldn’t have fired Reich at that point if Saturday had told him he didn’t want it. So he was definitely talking to Irsey about the job while another man was still employed. Worse yet, he’s on ESPN breaking down games, including the Colts games and acting all innocent while he’s doing it

Wow...that's even more scummy than I thought.

And this guy is using words like trash...enjoy your last game as HC there Saturday...you're done after this. What an asshole.

How the hell does everyone on Twitter/Reddit not realize he meant he "doesn't know him" on a PERSONAL level. Like WTF.

with Thibodeaux's celebration, even if I thought it was borderline bad taste. I don't care if my guy is a bit of a jerk if he plays like Thibodeaux's playing. Hell, I don't have a problem with that even if their average. I'm watching to see players make plays.

I also don't have a problem with Saturday sticking up for his QB, or for even more than that, being angry about Thibodeaux's celebration. This is football. It would be weird if everybody liked each other.

More power to both of him, everybody should just move on. You want to make that bulletin board material for next go 'round, have at it. Giants' are preparing for the playoffs.

should focus on the fact that when his band of cheap fucks went after our QB, his OL were ready to rumble to protect him. When our guy sacked his QB into next week and did a celebration next to him, his OL shrugged...

And I wonder how much of it there would be if he had 14.5 sacks.

Saturday said the inaction of his own team bothered him more than what Thibodeaux did.

He’s gonna get emo and demand the Giants cut KT.

Oh really? I didn't see that. At least he's honest. Fuck him anyway.

Has the speed off the edge but needs to get stronger and work on his moves. Plain speed will work for only so long. The better tackles have been setting up fast outside and forcing him inside thus neutralizing him. On his sack of Foles he wasn’t touched. He's walked the walk more than Jeff Saturday.

Really isnt this the same Jeff Saturday who was a four time all-pro and super bowl champion? Seems like Saturday did a lot of walking

I wanted Thibs in the worst way in the draft. This team has needed some swagger and intensity for a long time now. He brings more than his on field talent. He brings the fire, the swagger, the intensity. His « celebration” went on a little too long. That was it. He called Foles right away to make sure he knew it wasn’t directed at him. Jeff Saturday is a schmuck and not much of a coach.

As I said above, I said as a HC.

Same

has acted like an ass during this. This doesn't mean he committed the worst sin, but lets be real about what he did.

That's what I told my son. It was a bad look and I wish we didn't get that visual as a conversation starter, BUT, that's what we are supposed to be doing - knocking QB's out of the game. We used to do that once in a while, and it was glorious.

And I loved it "No, Mr Strickland, you have to use both arms!"

I knew the Giants were finally getting better when the Eagles...of all teams...started complaining that the Giants were "dirty" players.

Saturday should shut up. If his offensive line didn't do anything about what happened, then he has nothing to say. That reflects on him as a coach. Trying to deflect on that failure with KT shows he's not ready to be a HC.

All I saw from the Colts was a team that responded to the Giants by either lying down like dogs or taking cheap shots at our QB. Saturday needs to fix that, or quit.

Apology or no apology Thibs is a breath of fresh air for this franchise.

and they told a Thibs story from when they visited training camp this summer. Thibs told them he had seven minutes for an interview, gave them nothing, left after five minutes and went off on someone from the Giants communications department on his way out. Not a huge deal but we can acknowledge he's a bit of an ass.

Ok. He acted like an ass.

Now what?

Because the extent to which he acted like an ass is directly related to the extent that he knew Foles was injured at the time. As the video evidence show, he couldn't possibly have known when he started the celebration. Then it's an open question whether he realized it at any point during. And then it's an even more open question whether his sideline display had anything to do with Foles being injured. Ask yourself, would this have merited the slightest attention if Foles had gotten up after the sack and walked off the field. Nobody EVER pisses and moans about the length of player or team celebrations. Until now.

People are making the least charitable assumptions on Thibodeaux on all three levels, and on top of that, completely ignoring the fact that he came out after the game and said he didn't know Foles was injured at the time, and that he hopes the guy gets better.

People keeping beating the drum on this like Thibodeaux is some disobedient mutt who won't come when called.

How is he acting like an ass?

As I said yesterday, I think his sack celebrations are lame, but no one complains when Lawrence does his sack dance.

What's the ass part?

I'm old enough to remember Lawrence Taylor almost physically assaulting a photographer on the sideline.

Right, because Thibodeaux owes Michael Kay his complete and utter attention for 15 minutes.

This statement is as asinine as both the snow angels and the go to sleep mockery on the sideline...

Hopefully Daboll gets this guy in line. The good news for the Giants players is that they won't need to splurge for a boat trip next week. Thibs can just keep talking out of his ass...

You just don’t get why?

How about because not everyone thinks he acted like an ass.

While he was high on crack On the job and getting teammates to pee in a drug test for him.

"Thibs celebrated a sack and the QB hurt his chest, TRAID"

LMAO... Younger BBI'ers "wAs LT rEalLy thAt gOoD??" Just watch that. And those were just his sacks, and I don't think even all of them. We need a crazed dog or two again. I'm good with KT.

Have pod people taken over this fanbase?

Between people who can't wait to see Daniel Jones playing for Washington to the ones who think Kayvon Thibodeaux should be apologizing for a dumb sack celebration in a league (and on a team) full of dumb sack celebrations, I'm honestly starting to wonder.
