Clayton's great analysis

[dbair1967]

He just cant stand it that we won:


5. Power outage for Giants: The Atlanta Falcons are now the top dogs in the NFC thanks to their strong performance Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens and the Giants' 33-20 loss to the Cowboys. The Giants' loss shouldn't have been a surprise, though. They entered the game down four starters -- guard David Diehl, center Shaun O'Hara, fullback Madison Hedgecock and wide receiver Steve Smith.

Despite their dominance of the past two months, the Giants have been a team prone to turnovers and occasionally vulnerable to big plays. Sunday was a nightmare. The lights went out at New Meadowlands Stadium and delayed the game for more than 10 minutes. The lights went out on the Giants early when Dallas jumped to a 19-3 first-half lead.



The Giants jumped to a 6-2 record playing the league's fifth-easiest schedule, and everyone knew the schedule was going to toughen down the stretch. This was a wake-up call.

Shouldn't have been a surprise? We had lost the 2 previous games by a combined score of 80-24. The Giants had been arguably the most impressive team in the NFC.

Giants were out 4 starters? Boo-hoo, we're out our freakin' starting QB! Plus Marcus Spears, plus Jenkins early and Newman for long stretches.

 

[Galian Beast]

Missing Romo trumps all of that definitely.

He's such a little dork: certainly missing MADISON HEDGECOCK would affect any team's performance......

Hey, we were without Michael Hamlin so that should be about even.

Funny how all the "experts" were still calling for a double digit win for the Giants, even with these injuries. The fact is, there aren't many teams that can win w/ their backup quarterback. Here's to hoping Kitna can keep it rolling against the Lions. 1 game at a time.

Spread was 13.5, so SOMEBODY was surprised.

Four missing offensive starters is nothing to sneeze at, but what happened to the Giants' defense? Their defense killed the Cowboys last time around.

Yesterday, the Cowboys ripped off something like four 25+ yard plays ....

Accountability and attention to detail in practice = great execution on Sundays.

Not to mention a banged up D-Line and secondary.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Typical...

Mention that they're missing their FB, but don't mention we're missing our franchise QB. Both our DBs were banged up all day and Spears was out. Our secondary was completely B team yesterday and they still got it done. We were so thin at DB yesterday, I thought I saw Keith Davis out there yesterday for a second.

 

[SultanOfSix]

That wasn't even an "analysis".

It was here's a lot of generalizations, cliches, vagueness, and excuses for the Giants wrapped up into a mesh of saying absolutely nothing.
