Couldn't agree more...we need a break.
Can Tom Petty be any worse of a choice for the halftime show?

Come on , Simms.. were so close

lets do this
time of possession  
DrKram20 : 2/3/2008 8:12 pm : link
is gonna end up being big. Get those old guys on the Pats suckin wind in the 4th and hit some big plays. Let's go Big Blue, 30 minutes of good football away from the Lombardi Trophy. All the mistakes are done with, back to the basics. Go out there and kick ass.
In the second half  
Doc in Bklyn : 2/3/2008 8:12 pm : link
Don't be surprised if the Pats start trying to take advantage of the passrush by calling a lot of draws and screens. Especially slot screens to Welker.
Weirdest super bowl  
Stephen in SoFla : 2/3/2008 8:12 pm : link
ever?
I agree  
spike : 2/3/2008 8:12 pm : link
the WRs have got to CATCH and HOLD on to the ball!! No more dropsies.

We should have a better time running the ball in the 2nd half. Our lines are dominating theirs.

I hope our special team will outplay their ST.

Watch for Moss and Welker in the second half.
Guys I'm so nervous.  
Ash : 2/3/2008 8:12 pm : link
We gotta be careful on this first play. I still think we haven't seen the best of Brady. Any time we give up three, we're good. Gotta stop any big plays. This first drive is absolutely crucial. If we can definitely weather the inevitable storm in the beginning of the half, then we have a chance.

Eli needs a long TD drive. NOTE, it must be a TD drive.
Hate this half time show crap...  
GloryDayz : 2/3/2008 8:12 pm : link
lets get it on already!!!
we need

heavy doses of Ahmad Bradshaw in the second half.
I like that we're hurting them though  
Some Fan : 2/3/2008 8:12 pm : link
Jacobs has hurt their defense and our defense has effed up the Celebrity QB.
Tom Petty  
rebel yell : 2/3/2008 8:13 pm : link
was another very safe choice.

Marty866b : 2/3/2008 8:13 pm : link
Get a clue. Steve Smith is not losing this game for us. The biggest play in the first half was the penalty on Pierce. The easiest catch that was dropped was by Burress who has been invisible in this game. I don't think the Giants were relying on Steve Smith to be their dominant receiver in the game. He's the only one getting open.
Who said Tom Petty was a bad halftime show?  
halfback20 : 2/3/2008 8:13 pm : link
I thought it was great. Would you rather see a mixture of Kid Rock and Britney Spears? Or Janet Jackson?
agreed  
spike : 2/3/2008 8:14 pm : link
our offense has to at least get one touchdown in 3rd quarter to change the tide.
That's what the Giants should be doing.....

"Running Down A Dream"
We have to stay close going into the 4th  
NY-Fan : 2/3/2008 8:14 pm : link
and I think the Pats will be tired. But we must be close.
Ash--agree. We MUST  
rebel yell : 2/3/2008 8:14 pm : link
have a long drive culminating in a TD. FGs won't win this thing. Pats will put up some points in the second half.
......

2nd half =

Run...Run...Playaction....Run.....Run....Playaction. Beat the shit out the MFers!!!!!
Let's enjoy this guys.

This IS the last half of the 2007-2008 New York FOOTBALL Giants!!!

have asked Petty and his band to try to not look like homeless people
are they going to get naked?

the Patriots free fall!
Big Boy Football  
ScottinMA : 2/3/2008 8:15 pm : link
I heard them talking on ESPN radio earlier this week. They said the Giants play BIG BOY football. I think they did that in the first half. The PAts D was on the field over 19 minutes and Brady was hit many times. That is BIG BOY football. Mauroney 8 rushes 11 yards
Completely agree that the first drive of the second half is crucial.  
JW : 2/3/2008 8:15 pm : link
We had the momentum, I hate the long halftime here.

Remember how big the first possessions of the second half were in XXI and XXV?
Both Defenses are playing well  
PatersonPlank : 2/3/2008 8:15 pm : link
Neither QB has a lot of time. I think Jimmy was right at the half, look for NE to throw a lot more short stuff to Welker and Faulk.
I will enjoy it more  
Some Fan : 2/3/2008 8:15 pm : link
if we win
Food point Marty--Smith  
rebel yell : 2/3/2008 8:15 pm : link
is getting open. Need Plax and Toomer as vets to step up.
Offense needs to step it up  
nedhiggins : 2/3/2008 8:15 pm : link
it's only a matter of time before the Pats put points on the board, though I'm absolutely proud of the way this defense has played.
Belichick and a Long Halftime = Bad news

i love this team  
MS1987 : 2/3/2008 8:16 pm : link
regardless of what happens these next 30 minutes, they're playing their heart out especially on d. what more can you ask really?
Long halftime is good for the Giants  
Some Fan : 2/3/2008 8:16 pm : link
because we will be on defence first.
If they hold them on the 1st drive of the 2nd half  
JoeMP2003 : 2/3/2008 8:16 pm : link
Ill feel 10x better about our chances. This upcoming drive is the tone setter. They cannot go behind 14-3.

Keep pressuring Brady. Sooner or later we'll come up with a big turnover

Offense has to execute, but the defense has to set the tone in the 2nd half here
I'm optimistic  
giantsfaninphilly : 2/3/2008 8:16 pm : link
If we turned a couple of plays around in the first half we'd be owning them.
Guys  
Bake54 : 2/3/2008 8:17 pm : link
Until we are able to move the inside DTs, we are not going to run the ball the way we are used to.
halfback, no, but that was crap IMHO

My Biggest Fear  
Jim in NH : 2/3/2008 8:17 pm : link
Going in to this game was a replay of the Baltimore disaster.

The boys look good. They won the battle in the trenches in the first half.

I hope they win. I really do.

But they're much better than I thought. Much better.

So far, so good.
I believe the Pats will try to come out with a long clock eating drive  
NY-Fan : 2/3/2008 8:17 pm : link
like what we did in XXV. They will dink and dunk and run the ball and try to get points and give their D more rest. We must get them off the field.
If Giants win, I'm buying a Toyota Sienna  
Some Fan : 2/3/2008 8:18 pm : link
that is my youngest daughter's name (though she spells it with one "n") and everytime that commerical comes on the Giants win!
We are missing shockey  
scott in albany : 2/3/2008 8:18 pm : link
in this game. He could have made a difference.
MS I agree  
PatersonPlank : 2/3/2008 8:18 pm : link
Win, lose, or draw this has been a huge season for the Giants. We will just get better next year.
The defense should be very fresh  
JoeMP2003 : 2/3/2008 8:19 pm : link
They were only on the field for 20 minutes against the Packers, then they had a bye week, and theyve only been on the field for 10 minutes in the 1st half tonight
After reveiwing the tape (so to speak) the biggest play of the half  
SGMen : 2/3/2008 8:19 pm : link
Was Smith not holding onto the ball and allowing the interception cause we were driving and likely to get some points and keep the Pats defense on the field. We have just seven more offensive snaps then the Pats and the key to this game, in my mind, was to be no worse then within 3 points of the Pats heading into the fourth quarter cause I thought our running game would really take over on those Pat LB's.

Therefore, we can't allow the Pats a scoring drive to open the second half. A 3 and out or better is key to keep the pressure of the world on their shoulders and make them think too much as their offense has sputtered a bit these last 8 games. I think Jacobs will eventually get past the DL untouched and with a tired LB corps he might just bust a long run on them. Same for Bradshaw.

Keep the pressure on Brady and hope he throws a duck too!
Second Half relies on Steve Smith manning up.  
SteveJobz : 2/3/2008 8:19 pm : link
If Steve Smith mans up well be fine.

If we lose this we know who the blame falls on.
NEED A STOP  
Spider's Ghost : 2/3/2008 8:20 pm : link
and a "meat grinder" drive
Yeah right, Belichick had two motherfucking weeks  
Some Fan : 2/3/2008 8:20 pm : link
and teh best he could do is 7 -3. I tyhink Little Bill is a bit nervous in teh service as is THee Celebritee QBee.
lets go  
Paulie Walnuts : 2/3/2008 8:22 pm : link
defensive turnover
Faulk and Welker have the  
JW : 2/3/2008 8:23 pm : link
potential to kill this team on 3rd and short/medium. They need to keep up with this pass rush.
i hope we got in Brady's head big  
Danbury Joe : 2/3/2008 8:24 pm : link
time....if we can keep control of the LOS in the 2nd half then we can definitely SEAL THE DEAL!!
The NEXT  
Mr Blue : 2/3/2008 8:25 pm : link
TD will be BIG!!!
