*Turner had 111 yds rushing 6 min before halftime, then gets knocked out... sure, just wonderful...
*Atl coach goes for 2pt way too early in game & misses,
*multiple obvious play calling on goal line- stuffed, ok up the gut once or twice, but cmon!
*1 td & 1 fg in 4 goal line appearances!...
not a good game by Atlanta!... & despite all that, Atl still had a chance to win game in last 3 minutes at the 50- but Ryan floats a double covered receiver & gets pik'd!!!...
boy, the Giants should be able to beat this team at home with the swirling NY wind no problem. right?.. especially coming off a bye..
but thats kinda why i don't like the Giants here -the bye!... i don't like byes, and this year most teams are losing off a bye... bye stats are misleading... most of the bye wins (from its inception) came from years past... as years go on the bye win stat is falling... we could name at least a dozen teams this year that lost after a bye...
& "possible" false start penalties for giants because of the bye?... just throwin stuff out there for food4thought...hehe
but the real question is: can the Giants actually lose another one!?? wow that really would be sick, considering their overall talent...
imma go out on a limb & say Giants barely win, but no cover...
Atl +6.5 small play on 1 of my tiny fun-parlays, just to see if the coughlin curse continues..lol... don't know what else to call this seemingly bad luck curse that struck the Giants, so by default i been calling it the cough-lin curse... but hopefully for giants fans the curse is finally over this week... & sad if it continues...
anywayz, just my thoughts on this game...
will be monitoring it on gamecast
