What happened 1st half of Giants game at TX stadium?

[TwoCentPlain]

I missed the first half due to work and only caught the second half. What happened in the first half? Was it mainly on Bledsoe? The OL? The DL? The DBs? Just a total team meltdown?

Manning hit Burress on a post pattern for a touchdown where the field judge got in Roy Williams's way, which completely impeded his progress toward a ball he was very likely going to at least knock down. Result: Giants 7-0 early, big momentum establisher for them, kind of a deflater for Dallas.

The other crucial occurrence was that right before the half, in spite of other problems and turnovers, the Cowboys were poised to go in for a touchdown that would have given us a lead at halftime. That's when Bledsoe threw what will most likely be his last pass as a Cowboy, one that resulted in an interception by Sam Madison at the goal line.

Romo came in to start the 2nd half after that.

Not too different than what Superman mentioned.

Offensive drives: Punt, Safety, Punt, Punt, TD, INT on the goalline

Defense... long TD pass to Burress, had a little trouble stopping Tiki.

We were down 10-7 at the half.

12-7 because of the safety. Giants LB came in untouched on Bledsoe.

It wasn't just that. On Bledsoe's interception, he apparently didn't even look at the primary receiver on the play. He simply locked onto Terry Glenn. It was easy for the defender to jump in front of Terry and get the ball. Vela has a nice discussion of it here.

I thought the playcalling was ok.

 

[Yeagermeister]

We got ours arses handed too us

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

The 12-7 score does not truly reflect how they kicked us around the first half. The fact that we could have gone up at the end of the first half with Bledsoe gives me a world of confidence heading into Sunday.

DOH! You're absolutely right.. I completely forgot to add in the 2 points for the safety. DUH! :laugh1:

 

[conner01]

the oline played bad. drew played dumb. we lost a game we could have won if not for the mistakes

 

[TEK2000]

I'm sure the design of the play wasn't to leave their middle LBer blitzing to go unblocked.
