Seriously, this is becoming a force of habit.  They had it in their hands
and up through half-time I was happy not necessarily because I thought the
GIANTS were going to win but at least they were keeping it close.

Let's see, one TD off an interception, one TD off a blocked punt and another
one off a punt return.  Did their offense even have to take the field??
Corey Miller was abominable!  I didn't expect him to be the next coming
of Lawrence Taylor but he played like the next coming of Lawrence Welk.

The O line did a good job giving Hoss plenty of time to throw but not one
wide receiver was running a pattern.  Maybe it's because they DIDN'T HAVE
A PASS PLAY IN THE GAME BOOK.  I especially loved that play in the second
quarter... GIANTS up by 14. On first and 10, Meggett gets 7 yards. On
second down, with the 3rd best rusher in the league what do they do?  Yup,
try to pass. Sack.  Next down, Hoss is flushed and intereception for a
43-yard TD.  That turned the game totally around.

Keep the offense.  Get a REAL defensive coordinator.  For Christ's sake, even
the commentators were making fun of the read and reflect on it for a while
defensive scheme.

I actually LIKED the way they played through most of last season.  They kept
most games close and lost by a few points.  Okay, I thought, they won't make
it to the Super Bowl but at least they won't embarass themselves while they
re-build and work in a new coach. And then this season...  
I don't think Tish and Mara are the type
to go through another season like this.  Look for MAJOR changes in the off
season. 

Someone told me that Parcells had wanted Cortez Kenedy rather than Rod Hampton
as the GIANTS choice in 1989.  In retrospect, it seems Bill knew what he was
talking about.
