I'm not ignoring anything. Of course, I believe Eli gave his opinion to a reporter that asked a question. What we don't have is context or follow-up. Just a reporter paraphrasing what he said.
I'm simply asserting IMO there was no intent to injure and he was merely "taking a short" (by laying on the ground) at Eli in an attempt to remove any influence he may have on the play.
I said in my OP on the matter an indicator I had was that Eli hadn't tweeted the shit out of it. I fully believe if he felt Jones was trying to hurt him we'd hear more from him than a second-hand report from NESN.
As I mentioned in my OP; I knew it would be unpopular in this forum. But go read some of the comments from folks who didn't watch the play while wearing Bengal Under-Roos.
How about you (or anyone) answer my question for a change? Do you think Eli would have a lot more to say if he felt Jones was intentionally trying to hurt him?
I have no idea if Eli would or wouldn’t tweet if he thought it was cheap. Maybe someone told him to leave it be because the leagues looking into it already - no one really knows because we aren’t in Eli’s head or inside the locker room. What I do know is that it is a cheap shot to dive towards the knees/ankles in that situation. Eli was about 4 yards behind the Pats guy that Mac says he was trying to keep from getting blocked. Eli may be fast but no one can catch up to and get beside of and then block a guy at full speed who’s already 4 yards ahead of him. His reasoning is BS.
Look at it again - Mac had no reason to do that so it’s a cheap shot no matter how much you want to take a contrarian opinion and call us homers. You also have to look at his past to see this isn’t an isolated incident.
