I dont have a problem with it, but i did read an article about what happened (and watched the game). In the article Eli said he told the Tampa D when he was walking to the line "hey guys we are taking a knee". He said he did it to let the Tampa D know his line was not going to be fireing off.

You can still look at it 2 ways.
1. Let's just stand here and let them take the knee and not risk an injury, or
2. Let's bust his ass & try and cause a fumble to give our offense a chance. He just told us they are not fireing off.

Does the fact that Eli told Tampa's D they where taking a knee before the play change anyone's opinion??

I am pretty sure prior to him saying that, the defense was already instructed to go after the ball.
