Bucs Recap

WAY too Close for Comfort

It sure as hell looked like a loss. Eli couldn't find anybody except for Bucs. Wide receivers were getting held left and right. Bradshaw is out with an injury. Dropped TD passes. Starting tackle goes down. Then, WHAM. Andre Brown comes outta left field and erases any running game problems. Eli is finding everybody. Cruz is catching the ball. Hakeem Nicks is running around with on one leg/foot almost dropping 200.

That Kenny Phillips hit on VJax was a huge play. Love the no call either. Troy and Buck hate the Giants, always looking for calls.

Martellus Bennett. The man could have had 3 TDs.  I like the fact that Eli kept trusting him throughout. The more balls he gets, the more experience he gets, the more TDs.

Great game by JPP in terms of tackles. Other than that. Josh Freeman must have had an average of 7 seconds per play in the pocket. Completely fucking unacceptable. I didn't want to swear and lose composure, cause we won, but the lack of pressure is why we almost lost. I thought we had one of the best D Lines in the game? You have to think they weren't being held as much as last game. Excuses are getting thin.

Corey Webster, stop looking into the backfield or you will get beat deep all day. Lucky Freeman didn't hit VJax on that wide open play for a TD because of your peeking.

Rushing defense did fine. I'll take 66 yards and a ridiculous backfield spin around TD.

Brown getting 2RB reps is just too bad for Wilson. He is a hell of a return man though. That dropped pass hurt him.

Can't say enough about Eli's composure. Throws 3 INTs in the first half, shakes it off, and balls out in the second half. Bucs secondary couldn't keep up. 14 of 24, 295 yards and two touchdowns. 2nd in Giants history for all time single game passing yds, tied for 7th in NFL history with 510.  Should have had 2 more TDs if not for drops (or not seeing a wide open Bradshaw). Haters loved saying Eli was going back to the QB that threw 4 INTs vs the Vikings. Good thing there are two halves to every game. Especially a 4th quarter.

Cruz 11 CATCHES for 179 and a TD. No drops. Redemption.

Buzz going around about the kneel down at the end of the game. Bucs dive at the legs of the Giants lineman trying to "dislodge the ball". Coughlin screaming at Schiano. Tuck says they won't forget it.
