Quote from: Ed Vette on September 22, 2024, 10:12:51 PMIt reminded me of 2007 and the third game of the season when one stand changed the course of the season and an era. Will that be the case here? Who knows, but it seemed quite poignant to me in the moment. At the very least, it was the defining point in the game. It rattled a veteran QB who many here were calling elite several years ago and it certainly caught Stefanski and his Offensive Coaching Staff off guard.

And similar to that 2007 game the Giants front 7 made life miserable for the QB. That was the game Osi had 6 sacks on McNabb. Ironically a Jon Runyan was involved in both games.

Quote from: londonblue on Today at 04:33:22 AMThursday will be interesting. If it is first half Giants v first half Cowboys we will smile. If it is second half v second half we will hide behind our couches. Singletary has to stop fumbling. DJ needs to improve ball placement. D needs to attack not sit back and get eviscerated.

The way the O and D played in the first half shows this team CAN be capable of a pretty impressive level of play when they are attacking and in sync.

week 1 both O and D flat out stunk

week 2 Offense much better defense still stinks

week 3 offense even better and defense night and day difference

They play like they did first half they have a chance to beat the Cowboys

Its almost as if playing is necessary to playing well.  Which is why I personally wish we played starters in the preseason.

And it almost seems that after a long injury lay-off a QB needs actual game time to knock off the rust and get some rhythm.
I'd rather be a disappointed optimist than a vindicated pessimist.
