Inside Madness: A Live Blog

I hope to truly "live blog" at least one Giants game this season - I still haven't gotten around to it yet with just 6 games left - but in the meantime, here's the next best thing, a rundown of every comment I made on NJ.com's live blog during the Giants' 17-10 loss to the Dream Team Sunday night.

Some of the comments lack context as I'm replying to people, but if you watched this game you will understand anyway. (And also if you watched this game...I'm sorry.) So, if you want to relive the 2nd worst regular season loss in Giants' franchise history,* read on!

*I don't know how official any of these rankings really are.

--------------------------

WELCOME TO THE NFL PRINCE AMUKAMARA! WOOOOO!

8:46PM

For 9 weeks we were saying "Kevin Who..." Suddenly I miss Boss.

9:57PM

Plenty of football left to be played, including this drive. Get some points here!

9:58PM

Injuries seem to sweep through the Giants by position...looks like it's RB now.

10:01PM

F for the offense, F for special teams, and D- for the defense. (Grading on a curve because Young is horrible...a halfway decent QB would be up 28-0 right now the way the Giants played in the 1st half.)

10:03PM

Silver lining...as horrible as the Giants have played in this first half, they're only down 7. They play a decent 2nd half, and can win this game running away.

10:11PM

For the life of me I cannot understand how the Giants are the only team this year that can't run on the Eagles. 120 yards per game for the Eagles' run defense, and the Giants can't do a thing on the ground tonight.

10:17PM

7 more games left in Jacobs' Giants career. I don't know if it's a physical breakdown at his advancing age, or a lack of will, but he's a shell of his old self. If we can see this from our couches, surely the Giants coaching staff sees it.

10:21PM

Was just thinking on that last run...eventually, while McCoy's fighting for extra yards carrying the ball like that, the Giants have got to punch it out.

10:24PM

Might have been a season-saving INT there for Ross.

10:36PM

True to form in the 4th so far! 10-10, let's go Giants! Keep the momentum now defense.

10:53PM

No pass rush whatsoever tonight. Even VY will find someone open eventually.

11:00PM

How many times have we seen a 2nd and 15 or so, Giants rush 3, opponents picks up 12 or more yards. Don't make it so easy for them to get chunks back.
11:03PM

Just can't get off the field on 3rd down. Iggles are what, 4-for-4 on this drive?

11:04PM

Annnnnd Kiwanuka's down...just perfect. That's the 2011 season in a nutshell, eh?

11:08PM

Back in...huge sigh of relief.

11:11PM

And the Giants turn another scrub QB into a hero. To update list: Grossman, Whitehurst, Smith, Young.
