Week 12 vs Vikings - 2nd half

  • Coughlin says "we have to throw to win." Childress says he's going to beat the crap out of Eli. He "sees something in his eyes." A "lack of confidence." Great.
  • FINALLY. Toomer usually steps up when the rest of the team falls apart.
  • Actually, for all of my whining, what the team actually has to do is not give up. They're very good at giving up.
  • Hey, Bradshaw. Who is this guy? Ahmad Bradshaw. He looks pretty good. Only a couple of carries but right now, we'll take it.
  • OK, we like him, but let's not put the game on his shoulders. He's had a whopping 1 NFL carry. Now 2.
  • What was that? Shockey was right there. He didn't turn around. He was blocking. I think. Watching the team today, it's hard to figure out what the hell they're doing from play to play.
  • Burress was making those catches in the first few games of the season.
  • Eli looks like somebody stole his shiny new ten speed.
  • Tynes, FG attempt. Hold your breath. Oooo, that was close but he made it. 24-10.
  • Fred Robbins with another sack. The pass rush is good, especially against sub-par teams.
  • Wow, Jackson just took off for a 19-yard run there. The entire Giant D was nowhere to be found.
  • This supposedly spectacular Giant defense is showing that they aren't really all that good. I mean, they're good, but they aren't a legendary shut-down group. As if to prove it, Strahan allows Tavaris Jackson to get away and run for another first down.
  • Hey, a penalty that wasn't against the Giants. Well, there was one against the Giants too. So let's not get too happy here.
  • So the VIKINGS are controlling the clock. Interesting. I think somebody said that would happen...
  • OK, good stop by the Giants, keeping the Vikings to a field goal. They held the ball for over nine minutes. OVER NINE MINUTES.
  • Bradshaw's a gamer. I like this kid. He doesn't get the yardage he wants on a kick return, even though he gets a decent amount, he's mad. He wanted MORE. And not like Shockey-mad. Like, I'm a gamer, I want to play well mad.
  • Nice flip to Shockey by Eli! See? You need to LOOK AT THE FIELD and see who's there. Then you THROW THE BALL TO THEM. Right? Right.
  • Eli is scolding Bradshaw for not blocking better. Um, isn't it the kid's first game?
  • Another INT, but it's not. Coughlin challenges, which is a good move because on replay it's obvious that the ball hit the ground after the INT. Still a crap play by Eli but at least it didn't result in anything bad.
  • Actually, it ends up pretty good. Nice, early season style catch by Burress.
  • Oh sweet honey in the rock. This is horrible. That's three INTs returned for TDs. THREE. INTERCEPTIONS. RETURNED. FOR. TOUCHDOWNS. Plus another pick for good measure. 41-10. 4th quarter.
  • Aw, aren't the Albert kids cute. Anything to distract from this game.
  • 41-10. 41-10. 41-10. Mostly interceptions. Just like 2005. Only worse. Much worse.
  • So what do you do? Do you bench Eli? Of course not. Do you fire Coughlin? You should but they won't. They seem to like him. Here's an idea: start penalizing teams financially for losing. Is that why the owner's never seem to care that much? I mean, of course they care. But it never seems like they care as much as they could. Or should.
  • Plaxico is hurting the team by playing? I don't know. If he's hurt, he's hurt, but if he can play he should play.
  • What was that Eli did? It looked like the 'drinky-drinky' motion. I could use some vodka right about now.
  • FINALLY a TD. Plax. Less than 6 minutes left so, like, whatever. But maybe it's good for morale.
  • OW. Helmet to the back for Eli. Shit.
  • Oh wow. That was vile. Eli running, running away, and... he falls down. That's not even a sack is it? Wow. That wasn't... wow. Fox fellas are right, get him outta there.
  • Darren Sharper singing "I Love New York... and New York loves me." Oy.
  • Hey! How come the Vikings are running up the score? Heh heh.
  • That's all folks. They're not actually going to bother running up the score. Man, that was awful.
