like gumby from SNL (for those that know that reference)...its the 4th quarter , "DAMNIT !"
we're almost very good.
obviously even with this rag tag group we can almost beat a 12 win vikings team. and its not a case of "on any given sunday" kind of feel. This Daboll regime has instilled something whereas this NYG team is good and going to be better.
BUT 4th qtr is where games are won and lost, we all know this and this is where NYG lost, this is where big plays were not made:
1- at 11mins, a bad INT by jones.
2- 3rd & 5, hits James, who drops it at Minn 27.
3- 4 min to go. we allow a blocked punt...
we had a great last drive
a slayton 33 yd catch.
a barkley run up the middle for a TD on 4th down.
But more bad in 4th qtr was:
4- Minn has 3rd and 11, we allow a 18-19 yard pass to jefferson.
and then we rise up make a sack.
5- again its 3rd and 11, we allow a screen to go for 17 to set up winning FG.
thats 5 big mistakes or what ever you want to call it in 4th qtr, the 4th qtr (its says something we were still in itconsidering all the bad that happened in the 4th qtr)
with most games it would not be this close.
so an Int, a drop, a blocked punt, allowing conversions twice on 3rd and long.....and thats why we lost.
4th quarter is where you win or lose. this team lost.
BUT the NFL should be on notice, that the Giants are for real.
this is going to be an elite team very soon IMO.
merry christmas .

PS- and for all that Jones is or isnt, this mightve been his coming out party. Bad Int in 4th, but he kept the giants coming, and all game he played IMO very different than the Jones Ive seen before. If this is the Jones thats supposed to be, maybe just maybe with some good WR of his own, he might be, he can be the guy. (and all know here, Im not a Jones guy, but convince me, and Im on your side)
