Week 8 vs Fins - 2nd half

• 3 and out for the Jints. Commentators are right, bad play calling. Where's the running game? I know I said they couldn't run the ball on these guys earlier but that was before THE IMMORTAL REUBEN DROUGHNS entered the game. Anyway, they have a lead now, control the clock, yadda yadda yadda. Where's Coughlin's number, I need to call that guy.
• It's both admirable and a little pathetic that the Dolphins are putting out such a good effort. Good effort. Not much in the way of results. But good effort.
• Chatman's good. Play got called back by a penalty but he's doing a nice job.
• Now the wheels are really coming off. This is what the game was supposed to be like. All Giants, all the way. Doesn't make for an exciting game but as long as they win handily, that's OK.
• Goodell is blathering about this UK game. I don't mind him, actually, but this is just a stupid thing, going to London during the regular season.
• He's saying that they want people to "understand the fundamentals" of the game. But I'm a perfect example of how that's completely unnecessary. You know how I got into football? Fantasy. That's right, fake, bullshit football.
  
• Osi is a good example of this. But, you know what? He didn't spend all that much time in London. But hey, you know, great example guys.
• Oh! That was an embarrassing drop by Wilson (Giants D). Let's call it a "circus drop".
• Strahan has a towel over his head. Make up your own joke.
• Comment by the commentators that NY hasn't been able to "put the game away". 'Tis true. Coughlin, or maybe its the O coordinator, doesn't do a great job with the play calling. Weird choices sometimes.
• Ugh. Really good spin and run from Chatman. At least the D stopped him but somebody needs to tell Cough & Co. that it's only 13-0, not 24-0. And that the Giants are good but they're not the Patriots.
  
• Dumb penalty on Coffield. It's happening again. Oh God... It's happening again... the penalties... that great Coughlin discipline... it's all bullshit... STOP THEM!!!
• So all of a sudden, they're on the 2. THE TWO. Feh.
• There we go. Lemon gets sacked. We like that. Knock 'em back a bit.
• STOP. No touchdown for you. Niiiice. Still should've pinned them back further upfield, but what the hell, let's see if Feely can make the FG this time.
  
• He can. There goes the shutout.
• Let's not forget - this is a ten point game. It's not over.
• OK, here's the deal. Touchdowns. Not field goals. Especially not when you have "OMG HE MISSED ANOTHER ONE" Tynes. A 29 yarder? I don't care how muddy the "pitch" is, you gotta make those. Yeah, good thing you let Feely go.
• If games were won and lost by who played harder and who wanted it more, Miami would've taken this one 28-7. NY just isn't playing hard down the stretch. Let us take this as a reminder: Coughlin is doing better but he's not that good.
• WHOAH. Nice catch by Ted Ginn Jr., nice throw by Cleo Lemon. 13-10. Fuck.
• Feely gives it back with a "hydroplaning" (Fox guys' word) onside kick.
  
• People are pissed about the knee-taking. Interesting to see that. They're right, in the abstract. When I started watching football, the knee would annoy me.
• So Giants win, but they tried really hard to lose. Bye week next week, and the team has a much better record than anyone thought they would. Cheerio.
