Week 11 vs Lions - 2nd half

• Kept 'em to a field goal, which is good. The Lions are talking shots downfield though, and at some point one of those will work.
  
• FUMBLE! AGAIN! The Lions are the league leader in takeaways but I don't care, you gotta hold onto the ball, guys.
• And Kitna hits Williams for a 19 yard gain. Grrrr.
• DET is running the ball well, too.
• This Roy Williams is good. That was a nice play too - Williams didn't do anything, just stood there near the line with no Giants paying any attention to him. Kitna hits him, then he gets the 1st down and more.
  
• The Giants are starting to play harder but the tackles aren't happening the way they should. On two different plays, a DET WR was 1/2 tackled but kept going when the NY defender didn't actually bring him down.
  
• 52 yard field goal fails, because it's tipped by Robinson. That, you like to see.
• Oh shit, Jacobs is limping off the field. And Plax is clearly hurting. Is it the coach's fault when everyone seems to get injured so easily? Conditioning? Maybe.
• WOW. Tynes makes a 46 yard field goal. Maybe he's not as bad as he looked at the beginning of the season.
• Guys, I don't really want to discuss what's down Brandon Jacobs' pants. Looking at the replay it looks like he hit his knee, maybe.
• "Jacobs will not return to the game today." Maybe they can sign Ricky Williams?
  
• Watching this you can see how the Lions are second to only the Patriots in receiving yards.
• INTERCEPTION! By the Giants. Finally. They were supposed to be doing that to Kitna all day.
• Shaun Rogers is really big.
• Aside: at the moment, Vinny Testaverde has more passing yards than Peyton Manning. That makes sense.
• Scary stat: Eli has the same record as Peyton over the same number of games. Creepy.
• Eli is playing fairly well.
• Burress finally makes a nice catch. Dude has long arms.
• You can see where this offense really loses a lot without Jacobs on the field. At the moment things are going well enough, it's 16-3 with 7 minutes to play.
• Aside: If I'm watching from the sidelines, I don't really want to stand behind Tony Siragusa.
• SHIT! TD, Calvin Johnson. This is what I was talking about, people. Cough. Call me.
• Manning gets stuffed much too easily. FWIW, the DET defense does look good but the Giants should be able to stop them better than they have been.
• OK I'm as critical of the Giants' penalties as anyone - maybe more than anyone - but that "intentional" attacking of Kitna's legs was a bullshit call.
• That's what I'm talking about! James Butler snags the big INT. There you go! Live by the big play, die by the big play.
• Something I've never understood is the idea of situational calling. "You can't make that call in that situation." Well, the call is the call, isn't it? Do you have rules or not?
• This is the big stand by the Giants defense. Strahan needs to step up. He's actually having a good game, with three sacks so far.
• Hey, a penalty on the Lions! Whoo-hoo!
• How many receivers do the Lions have, fifteen? It's like there's someone open everywhere. They're going to make this interesting.
• Sam Madison! Interception! That's it! Fuck yeah! Motor city meatheads! Mike Martz makes me mopey (if I'm a DET fan)!
