Ware with 2 sacks already. Really wish we could have found a way to keep him.

Probably because when the game starts I get severe tunnel vision... it's hard to focus on anything other than what's going on with the game. I try and keep up during the breaks, but by the time I get back to the board, you guys have moved on by several pages.

Alot of 50/50 stuff went the Giants way in the first half so I was impressed with how we basically dominated the 2nd half. I feel like that PI call on 4th down in the 1st half was nonsense and a huge turning point, if that isn't called this game probably goes alot smoother for us.
The defense was inconsistent at times but overall I felt they were pretty good. They're flying around, tackling well and making plays, we still give up some stuff just because we don't have great defensive talent but we're generally in position and disciplined, which is much more than you can say during previous seasons.
As an aside, the way Murray and Bryant interact reminds me alot of Smith and Irvin. Not to go full homer or anything, but they both seem to be supremely confident in their ability to deliver and look to pump each other up during the game.

You act like I said they were gonna lose or something.
And others agreed with me when I said it, fag.
And yesterday, along with the mistakes and sloppiness from the last 3 weeks does show that this team still had room to grow. They've played great and have a fantastic foundation, but there are still some lingering issues that we have yet to put behind us that we're gonna have to get over if we want to have real success in January.

You should be the last one to talk Mr. I'm-Boycotting-the-team-unless-they-do-well-then-I'm-gonna-say-oh-fuck-it-and-post-towel-smiley-and just-pretend-everything-is-just-a-joke-for-the-third-straight-year.
But hey, that's how you do, right brother?

Parnell and Martin were excellent yesterday, but Frederick was even better. He completely dominated the interior and was getting to the second level like a boss. Not Smith's best day, just did not have any power to hold up. Could be he just got beat...or the ankle was not 100%.

It felt like it took a little longer to get the running game going, but I don't think it had anything to do with Parnell. The Giants were loading up against the run until we spread them out a little bit. Escobar helped open it up a little bit with his two TD's, but Dez was dominant in the second half, he took everything they gave him and made several clutch plays. The defense did look a little shaky at times but they held up, I think Beckham Jr. is going to be a playmaker for the Giants and will give us fits in the next couple of years. We've gotta find a way to get to the quarterback, that seems to be the missing link right now.

The run game did take a little while, but one thing that kind of irked me was on the opening drive of the game...Murray gets 5 yards on his first carry, then Romo gets sacked on the next play...should have just set the tone and run it again.

Yea, ideally I'd like for us to call consecutive run plays early if the first carry gets a nice gain.
I get that we're trying to use our running game to our advantage and hit them with something big via playaction, but the strange thing is that our playaction isn't generating a lot. The only significant plays I can recall through 7 games that we've netted due to playaction were Dez's TD vs the Rams, and Escobar's 2nd TD yesterday - and neither of those we a result of a safety getting sucked in.
I'm not sure why playaction isn't working more for us, but it is a strange issue.
