Slow start, good finish. More of the same, please.

Ouch, Asomugha out.

Daz said at 10:20 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Has Mac been targeted yet?
3Corry Henry said at 10:21 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Loved the run, but if he kept running up the sideline instead of cutting it inside he gains at least another 5 yards.

bdbd20 said at 10:22 PM on September 30th, 2012:
What’s this trick play where the QB gives the ball to the RB and the RB just runs with it? Is this some sort of Arena league garbage?
5Thorin McGee said at 12:03 AM on October 1st, 2012:
Bravo!

lilmc said at 10:22 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Shove it down their throat!!

DamonL86 said at 10:23 PM on September 30th, 2012:
punch it in no fg here
8
Zachary Kaplan said at 10:23 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I say run it again.
9
Zachary Kaplan said at 10:24 PM on September 30th, 2012:
a TD would have been nice. But some nice running on that drive. A nice quick throws too.
10
TommyLawlor said at 10:27 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Real good drive.
11
teltschikfakeout88 said at 10:25 PM on September 30th, 2012:
2nd goal run, I think if shady just follows havili he gets in.
12
mc said at 10:26 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Darn, I think McCoy had a TD on 2nd down if he followed Havili’s block. No chance on 3rd.
13
TommyLawlor said at 10:27 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Shady went too wide on that.
14Corry Henry said at 10:26 PM on September 30th, 2012:
What is up with our coverage unit tonight?
15
DamonL86 said at 10:27 PM on September 30th, 2012:
i thought we had the best special teams coach in the land
16
nicolajNN said at 10:28 PM on September 30th, 2012:
We’re also without out two (maybe 3) best ST players
17
Arby1 said at 10:30 PM on September 30th, 2012:
April looking more like December…
18
bdbd20 said at 10:31 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Let’s give it some time. A lot of new guys in there. I believe we’ll have one of the better units by the end of the season
19
teltschikfakeout88 said at 10:27 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Special teams coverage just crappy.
20
TommyLawlor said at 10:28 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Gonna give me a heart attack.
21
P_P_K said at 10:33 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Giants haven’t turned the ball over… jinx!
22Corry Henry said at 10:33 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I HATE that salsa dance.
23
teltschikfakeout88 said at 10:34 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Yep I fuckin hate Cruz.
24
TommyLawlor said at 10:35 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I hate NBC playing his stupid salsa music. Barf.
25
Zachary Kaplan said at 10:36 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I want the defense from the first 28 minutes to come back.
26
Daz said at 10:37 PM on September 30th, 2012:
ryans looked hesitant on the TD pass, I thought he had an angle on it…
27
DamonL86 said at 10:36 PM on September 30th, 2012:
i want our offense to be able to score from 1 yard out.
28
Zachary Kaplan said at 10:37 PM on September 30th, 2012:
and where’s our defensive line been on those last two drives, no pressure at all.
29
bdbd20 said at 10:37 PM on September 30th, 2012:
One thing that really bugs me is that every kicker in the league seems to be able to kick it out of the endzone, except for ours.
30
nicolajNN said at 10:40 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I think that’s on purpose, kicking high and short in hopes of stopping them inside the 20. Of course without our best ST’ers that might not be a good idea
31
Steag209 said at 10:39 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Our special teams needs to step it up big time or we’re in trouble
32
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:39 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Momentum shifting…WTF was that. All day and terrible decision
33Corry Henry said at 10:40 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Funny thing happens when you establish the run: The play action pass actually works.
34
rls255 said at 10:40 PM on September 30th, 2012:
We need to answer back with points.
35
A_T_G said at 10:40 PM on September 30th, 2012:
so play action works after you actually run it?
36
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:40 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Good to know he can hit a wide open receiver…
By the way, don’t run anywhere near JPP
37
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:41 PM on September 30th, 2012:
That reminds me, why not a bootleg with Vick at the goal line???
38Corry Henry said at 10:43 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Are you serious? Blowing timeouts in a tight game can really come back to haunt you.
39
P_P_K said at 10:43 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Once more, is Maclin playing?
40
A_T_G said at 10:44 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I saw him once… on the sideline.
41
P_P_K said at 10:45 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Thanks.
42
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:45 PM on September 30th, 2012:
For a team with “so much talent” it sure is easy for these guys to absolutely disappear during long stretches
43
onemorebop said at 10:45 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Yep, not that you’d notice.
44
nicolajNN said at 10:46 PM on September 30th, 2012:
One target
45
nicolajNN said at 10:46 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Two now
46
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:43 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Hmmm…a timeout that they may need later? Nah
47
DamonL86 said at 10:46 PM on September 30th, 2012:
nice kick fgs are not gonna win it for us though
48Corry Henry said at 10:47 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Especially with our Defense currently MIA.
49
A_T_G said at 10:46 PM on September 30th, 2012:
That stalled pretty quickly, but a nice kick.
50
P_P_K said at 10:47 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Good to see with McBriar holding.
51Corry Henry said at 10:47 PM on September 30th, 2012:
And now, let’s talk about Drew Brees….for…what reason?
52Corry Henry said at 10:48 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Holy shit, make a tackle for crying out loud
53
DamonL86 said at 10:48 PM on September 30th, 2012:
wow
54
onemorebop said at 10:48 PM on September 30th, 2012:
If we lose this game, it’s going to be because of these mammoth run backs.
55
Daz said at 10:48 PM on September 30th, 2012:
oh my god are you kidding?! ST – wtf?!
56
teltschikfakeout88 said at 10:48 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Special teams again..?
57
teltschikfakeout88 said at 10:49 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Just have Henry kick it deep
58
Daz said at 10:50 PM on September 30th, 2012:
we’d start with better field position if he kicked it over the sideline!
59
A_T_G said at 10:50 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Ha, yep.
60
A_T_G said at 10:49 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Nnamdi has a visor now, half a hour too late.
61
A_T_G said at 10:50 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Hmm, a timeout? They might need that later.
62
rls255 said at 10:51 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Nice stop!
63
rls255 said at 10:54 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Nm, i take that back.
64
lilmc said at 10:52 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Cox blew that play up!!
65Corry Henry said at 10:53 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Really? Was that our “let’s not cover Cruz because they’ll never expect it” defense?!
66
A_T_G said at 10:53 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Damn it
67
TommyLawlor said at 10:54 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Can I quote you on that?
68
DamonL86 said at 10:53 PM on September 30th, 2012:
that looked way to easy for a 4th and 1 play
69
TommyLawlor said at 10:54 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Probably a good play design. High risk, high reward.
70
bdbd20 said at 10:53 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Um, that was a little too easy. So much for that solid defense we showed in the first half. I’m feeling another damn salsa dance coming soon.
71
teltschikfakeout88 said at 10:53 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Craptastic. Two scores set up by our crap special teams
72
Zachary Kaplan said at 10:54 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I feel like that’s our team in a nut shell. Come up huge one play, just to have a the next be a huge letdown.
73
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:54 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Lets see if Vick can match Eli drive for drive in the 4th quarter
74
Zachary Kaplan said at 10:55 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Eli has basically been kept clean the last 17 minutes, maybe a bit longer. I think we need to hit him and force a TO, or they’ll keep marching for the rest of the game.
75
Daz said at 10:55 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Definitely could use a turnover here…
76Corry Henry said at 10:56 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Ask and ye shall receive.
77
P_P_K said at 10:56 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Great call on the to!
78
Daz said at 10:56 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Zach, we’re totally claiming that as an assist!
79
DamonL86 said at 10:56 PM on September 30th, 2012:
nice pick take a knee
80
Zachary Kaplan said at 10:56 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Terrible decision to take it out, but great play by DRC.
81
lilmc said at 10:56 PM on September 30th, 2012:
DRC!!!!!!!
82
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:56 PM on September 30th, 2012:
That’s surprising!
83
Felix said at 10:57 PM on September 30th, 2012:
DRC is KING!!
84Corry Henry said at 10:57 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Now THAT is effective blocking. Just trip the oncoming blitzer.
85
Daz said at 10:58 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Bell makes one hell of a block with his right big toe!
86
Zachary Kaplan said at 10:58 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Didn’t like the way Havili carried that ball.
87
P_P_K said at 10:58 PM on September 30th, 2012:
We’ve got the mojo now.
88
onemorebop said at 10:58 PM on September 30th, 2012:
All the weird handoffs in our run game always make me nervous.
89
Zachary Kaplan said at 10:58 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Come on Reid/MM give me a ghost reverse.
90
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 10:59 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Nice rhythm on this drive
91
A_T_G said at 10:59 PM on September 30th, 2012:
This is, by far, our best game this year. Lets finish it.
92Corry Henry said at 10:59 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I think if i tried to make the cuts that McCoy makes, the MCLs, ACLs, PCLs, and any other CLs in my knees would explode.
93
Felix said at 11:01 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Nice drive! Sustain it big time
94
A_T_G said at 11:01 PM on September 30th, 2012:
The announcing is great. Two drives ago Collinsworth was saying how disciplined the Giants are on the back side, now he says how terrible they have been all night.
95
TommyLawlor said at 11:04 PM on September 30th, 2012:
So true. And both times…JPP.
96
Arby1 said at 11:54 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Good catch.
97
onemorebop said at 11:01 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Also scary: how every 1/10 passes from Mike Vick are a complete WTF moment.
98
Zachary Kaplan said at 11:01 PM on September 30th, 2012:
It’ s nit picking during this game, but Vick has had a few – what the hell throws?….
99
DamonL86 said at 11:01 PM on September 30th, 2012:
we need a td here
and fail again
100
Felix said at 11:02 PM on September 30th, 2012:
bid 3rd coming
101
Felix said at 11:02 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Damn -but good decision by vick not to throw it and play it safe
102
bdbd20 said at 11:02 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Nice decision there by Vick. Take the FG attempt.
103
TommyLawlor said at 11:03 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Agreed. TD would have been awesome, but don’t be greedy.
104
bdbd20 said at 11:05 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I like what I’ve seen from Vick so far. Not superman, just run the offense. Get the ball in the hands of the playmakers and make a play once in a while.
105
A_T_G said at 11:04 PM on September 30th, 2012:
He even felt the rush behind him. Pocket presence?
106Corry Henry said at 11:03 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I’m going to be a nervous wreck until they score a TD.
107
Felix said at 11:03 PM on September 30th, 2012:
hey guys, as we catch a break – greetz from austria, europe!
108
Arby1 said at 11:05 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Wait, Austria’s in Europe now? Thought it was next to New Zealand…
109
Felix said at 11:05 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Man, that is Australia you are talking about ;)) I am from Schwarzenegger country 😉
110
Arby1 said at 11:07 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Thanks, it’s never too late to get a geography lesson. But I was kidding.
111
Felix said at 11:16 PM on September 30th, 2012:
who do u tell, its 5 am here 😉
112
A_T_G said at 11:13 PM on September 30th, 2012:
So not Austrailia? Your from the one with Eveta then? Don’t cry for you?
113
Felix said at 11:21 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Close pal – madonna hopefully never sings about my hometown 😉
114

Ug, 6 point lead: recipe for heartache.
115

This ^
116
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:05 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I’ll be extrememly surprised if the birds don’t get the ball back
117
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:03 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Finally starting to play like a play-off team. Nice play calls on that drive and good excecution
118
lilmc said at 11:04 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Sqib kick this thing.
119
A_T_G said at 11:05 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Really, there is very little downside to an onsides attempt…
120
Zachary Kaplan said at 11:05 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Maybe we should squib or kick it out of bounds….I’m just saying.
121Corry Henry said at 11:05 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Our coverage team woke up! Hurray!
122
A_T_G said at 11:06 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Great coverage. And you were worried.
123
lilmc said at 11:07 PM on September 30th, 2012:
The Bobby April Rope-a-Dope.
124
bdbd20 said at 11:07 PM on September 30th, 2012:
We may very well lose this game, but the maturity and decision making from Vick is very encouraging. Very much like the 2nd half against Baltimore.
125
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:08 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Nice tackle Nnamdi
126
Daz said at 11:09 PM on September 30th, 2012:
can Nnamdi still see??
127
DamonL86 said at 11:09 PM on September 30th, 2012:
That didn’t take long so glad we are kicking fgs
128
Felix said at 11:09 PM on September 30th, 2012:
What the hell is nnamdi doing???
129Corry Henry said at 11:09 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Coleman is biting on EVERYTHING.
130Corry Henry said at 11:10 PM on September 30th, 2012:
It’s not Nnamdi. It’s Coleman biting on every play fake.
131
A_T_G said at 11:10 PM on September 30th, 2012:
So, we will get the ball back…
132
DamonL86 said at 11:10 PM on September 30th, 2012:
and losing
133
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:11 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Nnamdi always thinks he has help…
Way too easy
134Corry Henry said at 11:11 PM on September 30th, 2012:
And he’s supposed to. Watch Coleman on the playfakes. He charges the line every single time.
135Corry Henry said at 11:11 PM on September 30th, 2012:
That was sickening.
136
Felix said at 11:11 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Did not like that drive
137
teltschikfakeout88 said at 11:11 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Just terrible play by the safeties
138
A_T_G said at 11:11 PM on September 30th, 2012:
What the hell was that?!
139
Zachary Kaplan said at 11:11 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Well blowing that went faster than I thought it would.
140
Steag209 said at 11:12 PM on September 30th, 2012:
NNamdi has lost a step, we got him a year too late
141
TommyLawlor said at 11:12 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Didn’t look good there.
142
Felix said at 11:12 PM on September 30th, 2012:
That was awful….
143
DarthBanner said at 11:13 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Juan’s defense has really fallen apart in the 2nd half. If not for the gift interception from Eli, the Eagles might be out of it already.
144
Felix said at 11:13 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Hey guyy, what do u think is our best CB?
145
bdbd20 said at 11:13 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I’m willing to give Nnamdi a break this game, but the safeties have been awful the last few drives.
146
DarthBanner said at 11:14 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Bobby April, on the hot seat.
147
Julz said at 11:15 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I think it’s time we start looking at some different options in the return game, absolutely nothing over the first 4 games.
148Corry Henry said at 11:15 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Need 7 here offense.
149
DamonL86 said at 11:15 PM on September 30th, 2012:
we just need this drive to last 6 more minutes and kick the fg
150
P_P_K said at 11:15 PM on September 30th, 2012:
The Giants D is tired.
151
lilmc said at 11:16 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Niether team playing D right now
152Corry Henry said at 11:17 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Theirs is tired. Ours is clueless.
153
Felix said at 11:17 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Maclin is alive!
154
Dan Bandekow said at 11:17 PM on September 30th, 2012:
nnamdi asomugha is a liability. Is it just me or were we much better with him on the sidelines? It is about time someone mentioned it. If we lose I blame nnamdi asomugha. he might not of given up the TD but the only reason they were in the redzone was because he blew 2 plays in a row
155
deltron said at 11:18 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Only so much you can do when you make a guy go one way and expect help from your safety who bites on every play fake.

that was really a pleasure to watch.
158Corry Henry said at 11:20 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Excellent drive. need to top it off with 6 here.
159
P_P_K said at 11:21 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Tomorrow I’m going to complain that the run:pass ratio isn’t always this balanced.
160
Zachary Kaplan said at 11:21 PM on September 30th, 2012:
One of these days I would like a game like the 49ers had today. I can enjoy watching rather than being on edge the whole time.
161
bdbd20 said at 11:22 PM on September 30th, 2012:
Nice gameplan here. Maybe a shotgun draw or a shovel pass, but let’s keep it simple and kick the FG if we need to. TD would be nice, but let’s get the lead and if Eli wins it, so be it.
162Corry Henry said at 11:23 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I know they think highly of Brown, but COME ON!

wtf was that?
167
ceteris_paribus1776 said at 11:27 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I actually like that call. Gmen just played it well
168Corry Henry said at 11:28 PM on September 30th, 2012:
I think they wasted a down giving it to Brown. McCoy is our playmaker. Let him try to punch it in.

I didn’t have a major problem with the call. I may have preferred handing the ball to McCoy who has been gashing the defense in the 4th quarter, but it was a reasonably safe play, and I’m ok wih that.

TheRogerPodacter said at 11:54 PM on September 30th, 2012:
tommy, i look forward to your thoughts on the last drive that we had on offense. do you just try to run out the clock and take the short fg? do you try for the TD on each down or run out the clock on 1st and 2nd and then try for the TD on third?
regarding the 3rd down play…. what do you think was the call there? to me, it looked like it was a running play designed to go out to the right to run out as much of the clock as possible and take a short loss or no gain. do you think they were really looking to score a TD on that play?
extra question – if vick rolled out to that side and saw an open lane for a TD, would he or should he have taken a shot?
231Corry Henry said at 11:58 PM on September 30th, 2012:

Looking back at that last drive, how many shots did the Giants have to advance the ball around the the two PI calls? 11? And only the officials could gain any progress. The defense stepped up, and overcame the heartbreaking calls that could have crushed their spirit. I don’t think we win that game last year.
236
A_T_G said at 12:19 AM on October 1st, 2012:
We won the turnovers, the penalties, and the time of possession, we didn’t have a single sack. Strange.
This isn’t aimed at anyone in particular, and this page is way better than other pages, but if you don’t agree with icing the kicker, or doing it right before the snap, that’s fine. Just don’t criticize Andy Reid because Tynes missed the first kick. Andy Reid is not a psychic. That’s just the risk inherent in that tactic, and it’s a tactic that has become standard. Be reasonable.
Watching Spadaro and Trotter acting appalled by all the Negadelphians calling into PE.com and complaining about our victory is priceless. Just rejoice, Philly.
Ouch, Asomugha out.
Has Mac been targeted yet?
Loved the run, but if he kept running up the sideline instead of cutting it inside he gains at least another 5 yards.
What’s this trick play where the QB gives the ball to the RB and the RB just runs with it? Is this some sort of Arena league garbage?
Bravo!
Shove it down their throat!!
punch it in no fg here
I say run it again.
a TD would have been nice. But some nice running on that drive. A nice quick throws too.
Real good drive.
2nd goal run, I think if shady just follows havili he gets in.
Darn, I think McCoy had a TD on 2nd down if he followed Havili’s block. No chance on 3rd.
Shady went too wide on that.
What is up with our coverage unit tonight?
i thought we had the best special teams coach in the land
We’re also without out two (maybe 3) best ST players
April looking more like December…
Let’s give it some time. A lot of new guys in there. I believe we’ll have one of the better units by the end of the season
Special teams coverage just crappy.
Gonna give me a heart attack.
Giants haven’t turned the ball over… jinx!
I HATE that salsa dance.
Yep I fuckin hate Cruz.
I hate NBC playing his stupid salsa music. Barf.
I want the defense from the first 28 minutes to come back.
ryans looked hesitant on the TD pass, I thought he had an angle on it…
i want our offense to be able to score from 1 yard out.
and where’s our defensive line been on those last two drives, no pressure at all.
One thing that really bugs me is that every kicker in the league seems to be able to kick it out of the endzone, except for ours.
I think that’s on purpose, kicking high and short in hopes of stopping them inside the 20. Of course without our best ST’ers that might not be a good idea
Our special teams needs to step it up big time or we’re in trouble
Momentum shifting…WTF was that. All day and terrible decision
Funny thing happens when you establish the run: The play action pass actually works.
We need to answer back with points.
so play action works after you actually run it?
Good to know he can hit a wide open receiver…
By the way, don’t run anywhere near JPP
That reminds me, why not a bootleg with Vick at the goal line???
Are you serious? Blowing timeouts in a tight game can really come back to haunt you.
Once more, is Maclin playing?
I saw him once… on the sideline.
Thanks.
For a team with “so much talent” it sure is easy for these guys to absolutely disappear during long stretches
Yep, not that you’d notice.
One target
Two now
Hmmm…a timeout that they may need later? Nah
nice kick fgs are not gonna win it for us though
Especially with our Defense currently MIA.
That stalled pretty quickly, but a nice kick.
Good to see with McBriar holding.
And now, let’s talk about Drew Brees….for…what reason?
Holy shit, make a tackle for crying out loud
wow
If we lose this game, it’s going to be because of these mammoth run backs.
oh my god are you kidding?! ST – wtf?!
Special teams again..?
Just have Henry kick it deep
we’d start with better field position if he kicked it over the sideline!
Ha, yep.
Nnamdi has a visor now, half a hour too late.
Hmm, a timeout? They might need that later.
Nice stop!
Nm, i take that back.
Cox blew that play up!!
Really? Was that our “let’s not cover Cruz because they’ll never expect it” defense?!
Damn it
Can I quote you on that?
that looked way to easy for a 4th and 1 play
Probably a good play design. High risk, high reward.
Um, that was a little too easy. So much for that solid defense we showed in the first half. I’m feeling another damn salsa dance coming soon.
Craptastic. Two scores set up by our crap special teams
I feel like that’s our team in a nut shell. Come up huge one play, just to have a the next be a huge letdown.
Lets see if Vick can match Eli drive for drive in the 4th quarter
Eli has basically been kept clean the last 17 minutes, maybe a bit longer. I think we need to hit him and force a TO, or they’ll keep marching for the rest of the game.
Definitely could use a turnover here…
Ask and ye shall receive.
Great call on the to!
Zach, we’re totally claiming that as an assist!
nice pick take a knee
Terrible decision to take it out, but great play by DRC.
DRC!!!!!!!
That’s surprising!
DRC is KING!!
Now THAT is effective blocking. Just trip the oncoming blitzer.
Bell makes one hell of a block with his right big toe!
Didn’t like the way Havili carried that ball.
We’ve got the mojo now.
All the weird handoffs in our run game always make me nervous.
Come on Reid/MM give me a ghost reverse.
Nice rhythm on this drive
This is, by far, our best game this year. Lets finish it.
I think if i tried to make the cuts that McCoy makes, the MCLs, ACLs, PCLs, and any other CLs in my knees would explode.
Nice drive! Sustain it big time
The announcing is great. Two drives ago Collinsworth was saying how disciplined the Giants are on the back side, now he says how terrible they have been all night.
So true. And both times…JPP.
Good catch.
Also scary: how every 1/10 passes from Mike Vick are a complete WTF moment.
It’ s nit picking during this game, but Vick has had a few – what the hell throws?….
we need a td here
and fail again
bid 3rd coming
Damn -but good decision by vick not to throw it and play it safe
Nice decision there by Vick. Take the FG attempt.
Agreed. TD would have been awesome, but don’t be greedy.
I like what I’ve seen from Vick so far. Not superman, just run the offense. Get the ball in the hands of the playmakers and make a play once in a while.
He even felt the rush behind him. Pocket presence?
I’m going to be a nervous wreck until they score a TD.
hey guys, as we catch a break – greetz from austria, europe!
Wait, Austria’s in Europe now? Thought it was next to New Zealand…
Man, that is Australia you are talking about ;)) I am from Schwarzenegger country 😉
Thanks, it’s never too late to get a geography lesson. But I was kidding.
who do u tell, its 5 am here 😉
So not Austrailia? Your from the one with Eveta then? Don’t cry for you?
Close pal – madonna hopefully never sings about my hometown 😉
Ug, 6 point lead: recipe for heartache.
This ^
I’ll be extrememly surprised if the birds don’t get the ball back
Finally starting to play like a play-off team. Nice play calls on that drive and good excecution
Sqib kick this thing.
Really, there is very little downside to an onsides attempt…
Maybe we should squib or kick it out of bounds….I’m just saying.
Our coverage team woke up! Hurray!
Great coverage. And you were worried.
The Bobby April Rope-a-Dope.
We may very well lose this game, but the maturity and decision making from Vick is very encouraging. Very much like the 2nd half against Baltimore.
Nice tackle Nnamdi
can Nnamdi still see??
That didn’t take long so glad we are kicking fgs
What the hell is nnamdi doing???
Coleman is biting on EVERYTHING.
It’s not Nnamdi. It’s Coleman biting on every play fake.
So, we will get the ball back…
and losing
Nnamdi always thinks he has help…
Way too easy
And he’s supposed to. Watch Coleman on the playfakes. He charges the line every single time.
That was sickening.
Did not like that drive
Just terrible play by the safeties
What the hell was that?!
Well blowing that went faster than I thought it would.
NNamdi has lost a step, we got him a year too late
Didn’t look good there.
That was awful….
Juan’s defense has really fallen apart in the 2nd half. If not for the gift interception from Eli, the Eagles might be out of it already.
Hey guyy, what do u think is our best CB?
I’m willing to give Nnamdi a break this game, but the safeties have been awful the last few drives.
Bobby April, on the hot seat.
I think it’s time we start looking at some different options in the return game, absolutely nothing over the first 4 games.
Need 7 here offense.
we just need this drive to last 6 more minutes and kick the fg
The Giants D is tired.
Niether team playing D right now
Theirs is tired. Ours is clueless.
Maclin is alive!
nnamdi asomugha is a liability. Is it just me or were we much better with him on the sidelines? It is about time someone mentioned it. If we lose I blame nnamdi asomugha. he might not of given up the TD but the only reason they were in the redzone was because he blew 2 plays in a row
Only so much you can do when you make a guy go one way and expect help from your safety who bites on every play fake.
WCO clicking again
that was really a pleasure to watch.
Excellent drive. need to top it off with 6 here.
Tomorrow I’m going to complain that the run:pass ratio isn’t always this balanced.
One of these days I would like a game like the 49ers had today. I can enjoy watching rather than being on edge the whole time.
Nice gameplan here. Maybe a shotgun draw or a shovel pass, but let’s keep it simple and kick the FG if we need to. TD would be nice, but let’s get the lead and if Eli wins it, so be it.
I know they think highly of Brown, but COME ON!
Please touchdown, please touchdown, please touchdown…
for us for us for us…
wow just wow
fgs are not gonna do it heartbreak incoming
wtf was that?
I actually like that call. Gmen just played it well
I think they wasted a down giving it to Brown. McCoy is our playmaker. Let him try to punch it in.
I didn’t have a major problem with the call. I may have preferred handing the ball to McCoy who has been gashing the defense in the 4th quarter, but it was a reasonably safe play, and I’m ok wih that.
