Who else thought that we were screwed when it went to 28-7?

I didn't think our defense would give up zero points from there.

I also didn't think our offense would put up 31 points in a half, but I had even less confidence in the defense at that point.

so I certainly thought things were bad when they answered so quickly. Glad things changed from there.

there was still time and the cards aren't the cowboys.

It was memorable and my 15 yr old son hasn't witnessed a lot of memorable Giants games (at least not in a good way).

.

then I want what you were drinking...

I hoped they would do that but didn't think they had that in them. I could not for the life of me understand how they looked so bad for six quarters.

I just sat there and kept saying we can't be this bad, its not possible. I mean bad teams lose 24-10 or so, not 60-0 in 6 qtrs. I just made no sense to me. When they started coming back I always thought we could win

Agreed, I figured we would be losing like 35-14 after they scored on that drive. I had no confidence in the defense making a stop, and I figured the offense would go back to pressing too much.

but when you are down 21 late in third of an NFL game, Taps is being played.

The only glimmer of hope I felt was that Dobbs was the QB, so he's never been in these circumstances to run out a game, and Gannon is a first time HC in the NFL. But, yes, it still felt nearly over.

A quality starter very likely makes enough plays late to close out the W. If Murray is the QB in the second half, the game is over.

BTW, I think we had the ball something like 11 minutes alone in the 4th quarter. Which is an amazing differential.

The offense was showing signs of life, but there was no indication the defense could stop the Cards at that point.

And it's not like Dobbs or the Cards made a huge mistake to let the Giants back into it, like they did vs Washington last week. The Giants just kept coming, and the defense finally showed some fortitude.

Had just paid for the Sunday ticket and was trying to figure out if I could make them believe it was a mistake so I could get a refund

Lol.

never a doubt in my mind.

Less than 5% chance to win, if you believe this sort of thing

I was hammered and couldn’t believe what I was watching. Just thank God we won. The season was on the line.

Giants were screwed at the half.

What kind of alcohol intake are we thinking for Saturday's Ohio State v ND?

😉

when it was 28-21 that I felt like it was just a tease because I didn't think the defense could make a stop.

Thank the Cardinals for going conservative

Same. I also thought the offense would be deflated after scoring to open and the defense giving up another score.

so I was listening to the game on Sirius XM and experimenting with making pizza on my grill. (Pizza was a success.)

I'm setting up the grill, stoking the fire, heating up my baking stone, assembling my pizzas, and thinking "They're not this bad. What the fuck is going on?" I didn't turn the game off because I thought they could still come back — it's the Arizona Cardinals, after all, not the Eagles or Cowboys. The quick strike at the start of the 2nd half gave me hope. The Cardinals' answer didn't make me think we were screwed, but it was discouraging. But again, I didn't turn the game off. So I guess I was more optimistic.

I've seen a lot of crazy stuff in 50+ years of being a Giants fan, so I rarely give up on them. Though sometimes I can't bear to watch. Most of the 2nd half against Dallas was too painful to view.

....so I had Redzone and the game thread to fill in the gaps.

I really thought the whole time, make it look respectable in terms of a loss just to build on something.

For the biggest comeback in my lifetime, I was as a cool as a cucumber as the entire thing transpired. Almost as if I was watching a college game I had no rooting interest in but watched because something extraordinary was about to happen!!

I thought they’d lose the offensive juice they got on the 1st score.
Instead, they opened up the O more, got to 14 and woke up the D.
