The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good: What a great comeback by a team that never quit. Vince "grew up" in this game, and proved why he was drafted. The defense shut out the Giants in the second half, and Pacman had two interceptions. Wade made some great catches, and Bironas came through in the clutch.

The Bad: Our defense couldn't stop the Giants in the first half, and we got abused on stretch plays to both sides of the line. Our run defense has been good at the goal line, but yesterday it was non exsistant. Hill still looks lost out there, and never gets his head around on passes. After watching Finnegan play the ball the entire way last week, you just have to wonder why Hill is in there. LT again stood flat footed in the end zone, and let Plaxico go by him and make a catch. This guy has to be replaced. Bironas missing a FG early on was disappointing, but maybe that last kick will get him going again.

The Ugly: Two fumbles by our running backs early on. We never got a running game established. Haynseworth tripping Barber was nasty, and Fisher sat him down for a few plays after that. Lendale getting a stupid penalty for being "macho" and protecting Vince because a defender said something to him.

 

That whole first half was enough to put me over the top with The Schwartz Situation. You dont just have comebacks like this every week, and the shame about it is we'd need miracles like tonight EVERY week if the defense is going to give up points and end up putting the offense in desperation situations like this.

Something has to be done about this. And Jeff Fisher knows where the problem lies.
