Game Notes:
"This was a game where
the Giants needed some things to come together. In the first half Eli
Manning had two sacks on him, but the offensive line wasn't showing the
kind of breakdown that they did last week. That kept me from having the
nervous breakdown that I had then. Manning had thrown one touchdown and
had no interceptions and the Giants were picking up some yardage on the
ground for a change. There was even a partially blocked field goal.
It was disappointing that Josh Brown missed a field goal for the second
time in two weeks or the score would have been tied. Instead, the Chiefs
were up 10-7, but I felt we had seen the best they had to offer and just
a glimmer of maybe what the Giants could do.
The halftime TV report annoyed me as they made sure to point out that
Kansas City doesn't turn over the ball. That came from both Jimmy Johnson
and surprisingly Michael Strahan as well. Weren't they watching the game
at all? The Giants already had one turnover and they caused two more before
the game was over.
Anyway, I was wrong too in my thoughts. I had already seen the best of
what the Giants could do as they scored no more points in the second half.
Manning threw two interceptions. There were no more missed field goals,
but none were attempted. Special teams allowed a touchdown runback on
a punt return, and the defense let the Chiefs score two more touchdowns.
It was all very disappointing, and sadly, the Giants are now 0-4."
Game
Notes:
"What we saw here today was that
the Giants are trying to manufacture some kind of work around to function
around a bad offensive line, and for awhile it was sort of working. The
defense also was holding up in the first half. Who would have thought
that the Giants would have more yards rushing than the Chiefs even with
them having more attempts at that point. Quarterback Alex Smith ran past
the Giants defense a few times, but running back Jamaal Charles was going
nowhere averaging 2 yards a carry.
The one telling point was that the Giants were only 1 for 6 on their 3rd
down efficiency. The score was almost tied except for a missed field goal,
but the Giants were getting the ball to start off the second half and
as a fan your hopes were up. Unfortunately all the Giants could manage
by the end of this game was putting a dent in the Kansas City Chiefs almost
perfect record. They committed three turnovers where they had had none
and Alex Smith committed his first interceptions of the season.
The Chiefs will have to live with those dents as much as it will bother
them, because on the plus side they scored more points than in any other
game this season and they are 4-0. Andy Reid continues his march through
the NFC East and has only to beat Washington to have a perfect winning
score against them."
