The offense spotted the Giants 17. I still don't like our unstopping defense and think its time to send McClain packing and play Bishop. Guys who played good tonight
Lee
Crawford
Claiborne
Patmon
Gregory
Hitchens
Wilber

Only guy who disappointed was Mincey, he let a rook play him like a fiddle during the most important time in game.

He was an idiot for doing that but ironically that help us by stopping the clock.

Oh yeah at one point I thought if the Giants played it smart Mincey would have lost us the game.

It felt like eli had all day to throw though. I guess this is your classic bend but don't break defense

They were outstanding !!! They had to deal with all the turnovers of the offense !!! There were more turnovers there than at a McDonalds drive thru !!!

For the most part played real well. Lee looked good and is key. Church, Carr and Mincey had forgettable games.

3rd downs is where teams still get us and Eli is no different. I dont think he gets worried on 3rd downs. Still a poor effort and teh win is going to make our coaches say "we won" but you have to pull that film and still get guys to own up.

Not really, we actually had more pressure than the last few games but they went almost exclusively with 3 step, pick routes.

It seemed as if the Giants were moving Eli around in the pocket a bit more than usual.

Didn't really see the pressure materialize like I wanted, but then again, we pretty much had the same D-line as last year since Hardy is out and Gregory is a rookie. Gregory had a very explosive play where he ran around Flowers and I have a feeling he'll be something special. I hope he doesn't miss too many games. We had excellent play in the secondary though.

They were good but there were times when they let the Giants march down the field. But they stepped up on that last goal line stand.

I'm a fan of Bishop, but what did McClain do wrong? I'll review it later but I didn't notice anything obvious. I see see McClain get out to the sideline to make a tackle which was an impressive play.

Tons of 3 step drops by Eli.

We never sack Eli much. The pre game threads about 4-6 sacks were simply unrealistic. Giants aren't stupid that they don't have a great line. They knew they had to get rid of the ball quick. Just didn't realize (forget) that he needed to take a sack at end of the game instead to take time off the clock. We got away with one.;)

They played their worst drive on that final drive, and still somehow -- still not sure how -- found a way to force a stop at the 1-yard line.

This will continue to be a bend-but-don't-break unit, but they've proven we can win with that approach.

Definitely a good effort.

Wilbur really was playing like his hair was on fire tonight. I was proud of the kid.
