Rough Loss to Cowboys


It was a rough 31-20 loss to the Cowboys yesterday and yet another game where the Giants couldn't play 2 good halfs back to back. They were great in the 1st half. Eli played well. Shockey was tearing it up and they were clearly outplaying the Cowboys. The defense had the most energy I've ever seen out of them in the first half.

There were a number of bad calls in the game like when Romo was CLEARLY past the line of scrimmage when he threw his first TD of the day. Like to the phantom holding call when Ahmad Bradshaw started the second half with a crazy 80+ yard romp. But that doesn't make up for the fact that the Giants played poorly in the second half. They killed a good drive in the 3rd quarter by stupid penalties. They made dumb mental errors all day. And Eli didn't play well at all in the 2nd half.

The Giants face playoff contender the Detroit Lions last week and we can get the ship righted with a convincing win against the Lions...even though God is clearly on Lions QB Jon Kitna's side (ESPN inside joke here.)
