Giants 27, Bucs 21.
Jones leads us on a GW drive after we get the ball back down 1 with 3 minutes and change left. Last second Winston heave is intercepted by Baker.
(This is my ideal game. But dammit it I'm not going to try to will it into existence. Haha.)
What say you? I actually think this really will be a close game.

If by miracle the defense plays well and we lose something like 17-10 because the offense sucked in part due to DJ it will mean much as the media will go back to PS and use his quotes about giving us the best chance to win. Remember the media is great about second guessing.
that was the softest "give the best chance to win" answer possible
I'm not sure if that was because he didn't want to shit on Eli or didn't want to admit they are playing him for experience, but it was answered so wishy washy that it shouldn't get thrown back in his face.

You think a jerk like Pat Leonard is going to miss an opportunity to throw this back at him?

Bucs miss wide right from 47 yards out in the closing seconds.
Have you watched the last 2 years? No FG kicker has missed anything against us in the last seconds even if its 60+ yards.
You missed the irony with my post. The Giants beat the Bills in Tampa in the super bowl by a score of 20-19 because of Norwood wide right on a 47 yard FG. It is kind of a big deal in NY Giants history. Look it up.

Predicting the media is the easiest part - they're going to either pat themselves on the back for saying that Jones should have been starting all along, or bash Shurmur for benching Eli.
Would like it more if Tampa were 2-0 rather than 1-1.
Giants defense will start to play better IMO.......
Defense looks decent for 1.5 qtrs, then falls apart. DJ sustains drives to keep the D off the field but 3 of them end in FG's.
24-13.
LGG!!
The D comes thru with a pick at the end to preserve the win
Congrads score spot on !
