A Productive Loss for the NY Giants

I was pretty confident that the Giants were going to win this game.  I remained confident until the Cowboys last drive.  I had no doubt that Eli would lead us down field and get us to within seven, but, after that, I wasn’t so sure that we’d get the ball back.  The defense came out firing in the first half but looked sluggish in the second, and, as I feared, they couldn’t come up with the stop even though it was 3rd and long.

That’s not to say that the defense lost us this game.  It was a collective effort.  The defending champions did not play their best football.  It’s disappointing and demoralizing, but it’s certainly not the end of the world.  In fact, this loss could actually help the Giants.
