Quote:Good team win. Defense made amends for getting bullied the entire first half. Offense was able to get us the drive when we really needed it to win the game. Banger kicked a 66 yard punt. Field goals were much better.

 

I was surprised to see the Giants scored three touchdowns in the first half and none in the second half. Obviously Gus Bradley said all the right things at halftime.

 

Quote:Hey!  So anyone remember the Shoelace run, where he had to cut back and break tackles...  I thought that was a huge play!

 

That must have been a first for Robinson because I don't remember seeing him break tackles in previous games. Do you have a gif of that play?

 

Quote:Jaxon DeVille hit the pool!

 

He got in a pool? I bet the fans loved that!

 

Quote:Honestly man, JT Thomas diving into the endzone and snatching that ball from Jennings will rank up there with Scobee's 59 yarder against the Colts a few years back as two of the most important, and underrated, plays in franchise history, in my mind. I still don't know if I've felt the fans turn on the team quite as much as leading up to that Scobee kick. I imagine if the 2nd half today continued the way the first half did, I might have felt that fan momentum shifting back to where it was that Colts week. Thank God the defense showed up in the 2nd half today.

 

Not even close. It was not the game-winning score or against a division rival. But it was certainly a very important play because without it, Josh Scobee would not have a chance to win it at the end.

 

Why didn't the defense show up in the first half?
