The last two minutes of the Giants / Falcons first half has taken like half an hour.

All it takes is people making their catches.

The New York Giants are a much better team with Eli Manning as their Quarterback.
If the receivers hadn't been dropping the ball early, this could have been a great game. Eli gives us the option to go long, he is scrambling well,, and he gets rid of the ball much faster than Warner.
Fuck Ya, that was a bullet, Eli is good.

I just wanted to say to all the people that were hating on the Giants O-line that manning has been sacked once, Vick has been sacked twice. Considering Vick's ability to slip away from pursuit, I'd say this is an accomplishment, especially against the Falcon front four.
So, was it Warner or was it the O-line? The answer is pretty clear now.

damn, Manning is making some sucky throws out there.
Umm, no. If you actually looked with your own two eyes instead of listening to the idiot announcers at best (for the redskins) it was inconclusive, no way you could overturn that call with the visual evidence. Its crazy to think that the Eagles can clinch the division with a win against the Giants next week.

That penalty call cost the Giants. The refs need to protect Vick, but that call on 3rd and long right near the Giants goal line was bs.
Eli looked really good for his first start. WIth Seattle and St Louis both playing like shit, the Giants still have a shot at the playoffs. Even if they don't make it this year, they have some solind young players who will keep improving.

But there is no doubt that he can get away from sacks... which is my point. And aside from that, the Giant's o-line was outright beating the Falcon's d-line for most of that game, that is an undeniable fact.
Giants lose, didn't really expect a win, but that was a tough one. The roughing the passer at the end of the game beat us in a close game. The falcons did not run away with it.
Kudos to the patchwork defense which is still holding strong with it's two biggest playmakers and four other injuries. I hope that quiets down the nay sayers of the Giant defense.
We beat ourselves. The drops in the first half were ridiculous, as were some in the second half. Manning, though he threw 2 ints, looked great. Barber was injured on two separate plays in the game, hopefully he is okay, we need him back there. Hilliard, Toomer... though I had said before that they are surehanded receivers, and they really are, they dropped the ball (No pun intended) this week, along with Shockey... Hopefully they can bounce back.
In all, I blame this loss on:
#1 - Play calling - Yeah Manning is our new guy, but We still have MVP calibre talent with Tiki... 37 pass attempts versus 21 carries for Tiki... for 107 yards. That's not Giant football.
#2 - Penalties - No need for explanation
#3 - Drops - 7 out of Eli's first 20 passes were dropped.
#4 - Absent Vick containment in the first quarter - He had over 50 yards on the first drive alone. Relatively controlled in the rest of the game.
Though it's a loss, it is an encouraging lose. The defense held against such a potent offense, and Eli played with guts. Next week, a rivalry game, should be fun.
What's funny is that if GB loses today, we're still tied for a wildcard spot. NFC is pathetic haha.

Bell came in for like a couple series and gets hurt again,ugh.
Sign of a great team is when you can play like shit and still come out with a W.
Big Ben had a rough first half, finally looked like a rookie there. He held onto the ball too long for some of the sacks, but there were a few sacks where someone on the line just got beat and Ben was screwed.
I know the haters are going to diss Ben, but I really don't know if we could have won this game with Maddox (we woul have lost by 20 if Kordell was in). Ben made some mistakes today, but that doesn't phase his confidence and he always seems to come up with some big plays when we need it.
Bell is totally worthless. Isn't this a FA year for him? He is going to lose a ton of money if it is the way he is playing.
We really need Duce back soon. And I hope Burress isn't hurt badly.
One final note. I was a little annoyed at how much the Bengals were celebrating at every single play even when they were losing. Apparently so was Marvin Lewis at the way he chewed them out after the game.
