Great read... But I watched that first half again and I think the review is slightly too positive for what I saw.

After that first Portis run I had butterflies in my stomach, but it all went downhill from there. With JC throwing 3 yards after the LOS - for an interception, and then on the next drive dropping back 20 yards into a DE for a fumble-touchdown... That was just a pitiful series, and I didn't see anything positive in the first half.. Moss throwing punches, Kelly and Orakpo non-existent, and Hall getting torched.. The score to Cooley was against the first-team defense, but almost in trash-time in the game. Our only other offensive outburst was a fake-FG TD..

I'm hoping you're right and this was just a great Giants defense & recent Super Bowl team who we had trouble with. I'm hoping we win the next 3-4-5 games against inferior opponents, and then get our acts together. We still could be very dangerous if we continue to improve.
