Week 16 vs BUF-2nd Half

  • Eli throws a pick and the Bills get a quick and easy TD. What no one is saying is that Trent Edwards is outplaying Manning big time. Sick. Again, why isn't Jacobs running more? Now he is but that's after the INT. So again the coaches are reacting rather than making good calls based on being smart. Of course now Jacobs seems to be hurt.
  • Burress almost makes an amazing catch but it ends up in a (dumb) penalty.
  • Here's a thought: the Giants have had multiple runner do very well this year. Maybe the O-line makes holes well. Like the Texans, or the Broncos (sometimes). Bradshaw, a backup RB, makes some nice runs. Suddenly Eli is mostly handing the ball off. And it's working. Let's see how long it lasts. Now Droughns gets it twice but isn't getting it done. So they try Bradshaw, and... no dice. They go for it from 4th and a half yard, making the Bills burn a time out to prepare. I guess it worked, cuz they stopped the Giants easily. Dammit.
  • 3rd and 9, Bills pinned back after NY fails to convert on 4th and .0001. 4 minutes left to go in the 3rd quarter. Giants can still back into the playoffs but that's not really the goal here. Jacobs is back in and busts a first down right away.
  • This is a scary statement: "that's the first time we saw something different that the Giants put in." You mean the play calling on this team isn't creative? You don't say? Jacobs gets stopped on 2nd and 1.
  • Another time out? Why? And after... a fumbled snap. "Self-destruct" say the TV guys. Oh yeah. It looked like Eli took a dump and out came a ball. He STINKS. 3rd turnover. They're facing the direction where all the points have gotten scored. Giants are -12 in turnovers, according to Fox. Well that INTERCEPTION!!! made the ratio a bit better. OH YEAH! That was just dumb luck but at least he got it into the end zone. 24-21.
  • Lynch breaks 1000 yards in his rookie season. This still isn't a good team, the Bills. The Giants aren't either. They are doing a halfway decent job of stopping Lynch, however.
  • "Barry Cofield does not get fooled on screen passes." Ah, with those immortal words, we will go all the way to a Super Bowl victory.
  • Good stop. Almost a penalty but he got away with it. For once.
  • Now Bradshaw picks up 5 yards for the Giants. Don't matter, NY goes nowhere. Then there's an INT that wasn't (bounced out of Butler's hands, karma in action for the pass intereference call that didn't get flagged.) And a fumble that NY can't come up with. The D is mostly playing well, especially the past few series. They're not able to make those big plays when they need to. The ball and the field are clearly soaking wet, but since they knew what the weather was going to be like, they should've prepped better.
  • Why on Earth are the Giants throwing? It's hailing. Is that the time to go to the pass? Tom? Kevin? Bueller? Anyone?
  • "Throwin' into the wind... Yes we'll be throwin'... throwin' into the wind..."
  • Bills are going the wrong way, Fox points out. How the hell do you play in this weather? You could run, but that would make sense. More importantly, how does anyone live in Buffalo? Seattle has a higher suicide rate? Why?
  • Bradshaw? BRADSHAW? BRADSHAW!!!!!!!! 88 yard TD, 3rd longest in Giants history, which is pretty impressive. He has 131 yards, Jacobs has 145. Will this show the Giants that they need to run the ball? Sure, when Ann Coulter converts to Judaism.
  • Whoah. Another INT returned for a TD. By the Giants. No. Really. I mean it. Hey! Come back here! I'm not fucking with you, I'm completely serious. There, now do you believe me? Thank you. Sheesh.
  • No Shockey, no problem.
  • Eli is 7/15, 111 yds, no TDs, 2 INTs. But it doesn't make any difference because they're up by 3 scores, thanks to great running and a heads up defense. Tell me Fox didn't just miss an interception so they could show us Siragusa in the booth. Maybe everyone was dizzy from the smell. Of Siragusa. HA HA!
  • Even in garbage time,
  • This is so not a day to get doused in Gatorade. I wonder if anyone's ever gotten electrocuted?
