Barr had an INT last year.

Eh—Sanders is awfully good (and quick!) too. Can Munnerlyn shut him down?

Its good. All QB's worth their pepper have chewed on a little roadkill. It builds strong teeth and bones.

Yeah—in the earlier game today in Buffalo, when OB3 made another spectacular one-handed catch for the Giants but landed out of bounds, the analyst said something about "Good thing there aren't any style points in the NFL, because then we'd have to give him that one." Wallace's TD was basically the opposite. Easy pass, no defensive pressure, zero style points... but, hell, he caught it.
The TD pass was behind Wallace, I'll put most of the difficulty on Teddy. I love Teddy's poise, but he doesn't hit people in stride often enough, that needs to change.

Even though we are down we had a fairly dominant time of possession show out in that first half. Something like 20 minutes to 10. Peyton can't score if he is riding pine.
Last year we were one of the very worst teams in the league in time of possession, I believe, now we could win that battle 3 games in a row and potentially get 3 game wins out of it.

Great way to end the half!!! We're showing we can run with the best. Zimmer has been sending the pressure at Manning which is exactly what we have to do
Teddy's made some really good throws and some really bad throws. We have to GET OUT OF SHOTGUN and let AP do what he does

Confirmed.

I thought 10-0, time to waddle on down to the corner store for a bottle o' sheep dip.
Even just being in this game after being down 10-0 is gigantic. The team looked so fake in the first game
that I wrote them off really quickly in this one.

I was wrong, was thinking about that fumble return.

Another Rhodes pass interference. He gets flagged for those a lot. I hope he doesn't develop a reputation and become a flag magnet.
