Giants need to respond with some points on this drive.

[mainepatsfan]

I will go see that movie "Flags of our Fathers".

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Did you just see the ad for "Flags Of Our Fathers"? I'm gonna have to make a trek to the movies for the first time since "Team America" for that one.

[MikefromOhio]

Yes they have to answer...

it would help if they could get the handoffs correct :)

[mainepatsfan]

Iwo Jima...not a pretty fight.

[mainepatsfan]

That one worked out well.

[mainepatsfan]

7.1 yards a rush. Wow.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

It looks like Clint Eastwood has gone back to his roots for this one, hopefully. No sappy "Bridges of Madison County" or some of his later, PC flicks.

[mainepatsfan]

I wonder if they'll show George H. W. Bush's ordeal?

[mainepatsfan]

And they do. Now they just have to make some kind of stop on defense.

[Cyclopean Squid]

TD Giants! It's actually become a good game

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

TD Giants. Get ready for a shootout in the last 8 minutes, and lots of shots of Archie. ;^)

[MikefromOhio]

yep

[mainepatsfan]

Better than I thought. The Giants ground game is clicking on all cylinders.

[BIGLOOK]

TD Giants...

When I heard 'off sides' on the half yard line, I thought the Giants would be called.

[Terpfen]

And they say Tiki Barber's too old. Cue the eye-rolling.

[mainepatsfan]

Looks like he's still got a spring in his step to me.

[mainepatsfan]

Eli's got his chance.

[BIGLOOK]

4:58 remaining.

A control drive can put this away. FG works......no clock.

[Cyclopean Squid]

huge 3rd down conversion, but a flag down. it's coming back
