Giants-Patriots Game Discussion: Halftime

3 so far and the Smith one was like Shaun Macdonald's one against us. We need a WR. WR is our biggest offensive need. James Hardy....

GO NYG!

Two on Smith

no idea why. i just think we're going to win this thing. i really do.

We CAN NOT waste this defensive effort!


Let's Go Giants!!!

Thats sums up our half.

what is the total yardage line?

we should give him a hand pulling him up. He might turn his ankle. When he gets up on his own, he can do it carefully.

no more turnovers. Catch those balls and we have a shot !!

missed opportunities on offense.

except for Eli has a int and Brady a fumble. Manning 8-16 85 yds, Brady 8-14 85 yds

Frigin killing me

as he forced the fumble. Looked like it had the potential to injure Brady's (eternally injured) shoulder.

looks like they are losing, rather than winning

there. Watch the ball and thats a TD

should be winning the way were dominating on defense

looks unsure of himself. They may be getting to him. Make his nose bleed in the second half and he may starting throwing picks.

But we're shooting ourselves in the foot on offense. Turn it around and we're golden let's go boys!!!!!!!!

ijn retrospect. Now, we have alot of haltime to rest the defense. More time than usual.

Just 1 more thing to DEFY!!!

not at all

A defensive struggle

Brady getting shellacked

I want a freaking replay of the hail mary.

I'll try to keep it down though.

Go Gints

Brady's wrist on that last play for the Patriots. I bet we stretched his tendons.

in this game. We can win this.

we are. believe.

we just need to execute. More running from Bradshaw is the only thing I would like to see more of.

at least in this game

3 drops

and that Hail Mary bounced right to him and he looked like he was daydreaming

I thoght Smith and Plax had a shot at that pass

and the rest of the DL playing like they are possessed by the 1986-1990 Giants D. Let's do it guys!!!

We need points!!

What game are you watching? We took the ball in the first half.

My wife is yelling at the screen more than I am

The thing that scares me is that you can't pass on your chances and the Pats are hard to hold down the whole game.

We are moving the ball but the Pat defense has made the plays when needed just like our defense has.

I predicted Tuck and Strahan for MVP and I expect both will continue to dominate as they aren't playing as many snaps on Defense as you'd think.

Biggest play of the game is Smith not hanging on cause we were driving there and the momentum would have been all ours had we scored even a FG.

Keys to second half include:

1. Must get the Pats 3 and out or better on their opening possession.

2. Must run the ball effectively so the receivers are left "one-on-one" and Burress will beat his man.

3. Keep pressure on Brady and stuff their run game.

4. Need a big play from someone, somewhere cause that is what champs do.

Way too much time to give Belichick and making adjustments.

we were running the ball well and then we throw...Thomas gets loose and knocks the ball from Eli...Smith and Bradshaw among others need to settle down. And Burress...if you are going to shoot off your mouth...you'd better show up.

...I was saying to the wife Brady's lucky he didn't tear a pec on that hit.

a bunch of missed opportunities but some huge breaks for us that evened it out

Bradshaw did an amazing job on 2 fumbles in the first half that played major roles

The defense has been outstanding. The amount of pressure they are getting on Brady is an excellent sign. If this can keep up the Giants are a few good drives away from being world champions

Also, the time of possession is heavily in the Giants favor right now, and that bodes well for the 2nd half. Although with the extended halftime, Im not sure how much of a role that will play

I think the drive of the game will be the Pats first drive of the 2nd half. The Giants have to set the tone there and let the Pats know that the 2nd half will be more of the same. Pressure on Brady, stuffing the run, and forcing punts.

They have to set the tone in the 2nd half

I actually feel great about our chances despite trailing 7-3

yet we are down. that makes me nervous...although we seem to want it more than the Pats right now, we are physically dominating them!

we will win this one. We would be up without a few rookie mistakes--Smith's drop, Bradshaw's fumble and penalty.

Great job by the D!

Go Giants!!!!!!

Smith looks like a deer in the headlights all the time...his face...look at his face

Defense playing great!

The offense, specially the WR's, need to help Eli and the rest of the offense out.

Put on your superman cape!!!

the O needs to get in gear to many dropped passes. I think we should come out with AB in the 3rd. for a series of 2. Eli is playing pretty good only 1 bad throw.

suck. Give the guy a break. Rookie in the SB!

Steve Smith in the endzone

Can't complain.

... call on Bradshaw? Had that ball gone out of bounds the refs wouldn't have said a damn thing. How about Thomas HOLDING Bradshaw keeping Bradshaw from recovering???

we are all over these guys....we can absolutely win this thing!

Bradshaw's penalty wasn't that bad to me. He tried to make a heads-up play, but it didn't work out.
