formations and play calls are fine.... just execution. Just ask the resident expert.

They have an injury ravaged DL and our OL can't block them. They have a bunch of stiffs on their OL and we get no pressure.

For most of the half I thought there was a rule that  
yatqb : 9/8/2013 9:56 pm : link
we weren't allowed to touch Romo.

What a weird half.
I can't decide after a half  
BigBlueBuff : 9/8/2013 9:56 pm : link
if this team reminds me of 2009 (no safety talent, Bill Sheridan) or 2010 (Eli the turnover machine) or 2011 (big plays to the receivers) or 2012 (dumb mistakes in key moments.) Whichever it is, it's a mixed bag to start to the year. Let's see if the second half brings the start of good memories. Here's hoping.

I do think the defense has been okay but the offense outside of the two big plays has been a shit show. If Prince is out, this might get ugly. On the other hand, if Romo is out, this could be pretty awesome.

I'm thoroughly confused.
Can't believe we're this close

Steve in South Jersey : 9/8/2013 9:58 pm : link
to be down by only 3 points. To play that badly on offense and only be down by 3 makes me believe the Giants will win. That can't play that badly again in the 2nd half.
What  
AcidTest : 9/8/2013 9:58 pm : link
a shit show by both teams. Romo looks like he is in a lot of pain.

Our LBs are really bad.

Adjustments should include playing an extra DB, flanker screens instead of runs, stoping the slant, and playing Trattau.

The Cowboys aren't beating us. We are.
I do not like the offense and Wilson is

newmike2 : 9/8/2013 9:59 pm : link
to be this close. this team appears to have potential but no difference makers so far. maybe they can catch lightning in a bottle with a FA RB because they will become very easy to defend with no running game.

In the first quarter, including on the 20 yard line and come out down 13-10, you have to be kind of happy. Now they need to start playing better on the offensive line.
How bad are the Cowboys???

A few thoughts. . .  
dl in SF : 9/8/2013 10:02 pm : link
Romo will be coming back in. The Giants are immensely fortunate they are not way down--despite that they should be up 10 points at least but for the turnovers. If Eli doesn't start playing a bit sharper, it may not matter. If Romo doesn't come back in, remember historically that backup quarterbacks kill us. David Wilson has to remember he's a second year back and not a rookie. Fewell has to recall that sometimes a little bit of pressure on the QB is a good thing. Which is all to say, I have no freaking clue how this game is going to end.
Wilson needs to stop jumping  
KevinBBWC : 9/8/2013 10:02 pm : link
with no need to jump. That 1st and goal play he jumped way to early.

bigbluescot : 9/8/2013 10:03 pm : link
I don't want to face the backup QB. Backup QB's (and 3rd and long) are the Giants D's kryptonite.
Witten

will beat the crap out of these Giants LBs.

Weird fuckin half  
djl8699 : 9/8/2013 10:03 pm : link
Fortunate to only be down by 3. I think the D played pretty well. Hope Prince is ok, but I'm 99% sure he's concussed. Team needs to get its collective head out of its ass. I feel good about the 2nd half though weirdly enough

Side note: I'm really hoping somebody comes along and Artie Lang's that stupid Seacrest show. If there's a God this will happen.
Been cheering anytime  
dep026 : 9/8/2013 10:03 pm : link

at pretty much every part of being a running back other than running in the open field.

He has soooo much to improve on, it really worries me that it's basically just him and no one else for the next several weeks.

were down by three and the D is actually coming on after being on the field the entire half .
Spread them out go 4 wr's ...
Wilson will break one on a screen ..
JPP aint quite there Tuck has been great but I swear our D is wearing out there O is that possible .
TT ok he is giving up some plays but he is not killing
us either . His tackling has been pretty sound I think
he will continue to improve hopefully Mundy and Prince
are ok Mundy should have scored on the INT .
Whitten shoved Herz right at the right moment .
Could have been a penalty no..?

islander1 : 9/8/2013 10:06 pm : link
absolute shitshow.

I cant be angry at Wilson, he's getting ass-raped before he even gets to the LOS every time he gets the ball. On the fumble, Hynoski missed the correct block which would've prevented the fumble (imo).

Of course, we can all blame Wilson for that shit-tastic failed block on second down at the 2 yard line that caused Eli to get sacked and wrecked our 1st and goal at the 1. I was never so sad to see Mundy not make it into the end zone because I knew our pathetic NFL offensive line couldn't open a hole to save their live.

I mean, how did Reese expect to win with an offensive line that gets pushed around like they are a college team?

More beer incoming. Glad I'm at home. Damn it.

SGFG is right, he is a one trick pony. Has confidence issues. Makes him feel better to attack people's opinions. Sad life he leads.

By the way FMiC. Giants have run the ball twice on 1st down both times inside the 20, and have 3 points in 2 possesions to show for it. I am going to keep reminding you this every time we fail. How does that sound, twat?

Wilson: a major (although not surprising) failing to hang on to the ball. I reminded him how important it was to pick-up blitzes.
