It is cold tonight....

[michigander]

I’m not sure.

[Hoodlum91]

They played it right after the Dallas loss and I couldn’t stop laughing.

Seemed like fate.

[commish]

The scary thing about that was the Bills had rallied to within four points just in the third quarter.

With a backup QB in the game.

I was driving from Alabama to North Carolina that day, and was listening to the game on the radio. I turned it off early in the second period I was so mad.

I turned it on while going through Charlotte to see how bad my Bills ended up losing, and the announcers were talking about what Moon needed to do to tie the game back up. I started screaming and whooping and hollering -- all the other people on I-85 probably thought I was some insane whackjob.

Troll on, trolly troll.

[RGPII]

Still a lot of time,

This game, despite talk of parity, reminds me of how old Monday Night Football use to be so exciting, still can be, but not like it was.

[Last Visible Dog]

Oh really? What would that be that they admitted to losing? And who did the admitting to having “lost” something? Hm?

They admitted to cheating - they lost the reputation of a team that does not cheat. Pretty simple stuff.

[Richard Kimball]

Manning has really upgraded his game the last few weeks. BTW, side note: the commercials that make me automatically hit mute are the whiny Schwab cartoon things, the UPS ad where the long haired guy draws on the marker board, and the Progressive commercial where they show those old-time movie slides. The Geiko ones with Peter Frampton and Joan Rivers also make me grab the mute, but I haven’t seen any of them this game.

[CedarDave]

GB to challenge the catch???

Nope. Knee was down before his foot went OOB.

[relee]

Is an elbow the same thing?

Yep

[RayChuang88]

You’re kidding. Even if the Giants lose, the team should seriously consider trading Jeremy Shockey and keep head coach Tom Coughlin. Note that once Shockey got injured, the Giants—and especially Eli Manning!—played way better.

[Petronski]

Troll on, trolly troll.

[Incorrigible]

Darn those noisy cheeseheads!

[JennysCool]

Nevada can be fun ... A few too many Hillary fans, around, however!

[winstonwolf33]

[commish]

Tough choice here. Decline it and 4th down or move them back out of FG range.

[yield 2 the right]

Yellow flag....G-Men offense pass interference...

[CedarDave]

Big FLAG. Offensive pass interference, but gives the Giant’s another thought on 3rd down.

[mainepatsfan]

On the other hand those Eli Manning commercials for Citizen watches don’t seem too humorous as they did a month ago.

[Richard Kimball]

Let’s find out if GB regrets taking this penalty. Looks like a wash.
