Giants @ Vikings Game Day Discussion Thread -- Week 4

[me4get]

Can anyone rewatch the 4th down penalty against the vikes, and see if the center turned his head before the offsides? If so it was a false start.

Sounds like Rhodes and OBJ are jawing a lot. Lets hope that makes OBJ flip out rather than flip on.

I still can't get over how Treadwell has a smaller role than Adam Thielen and Cordarrelle Patterson.

Solid first half for the Vikes. The defense is playing well, although they're giving up some good runs.

It's great to see the offense play better, especially in the running game. The OL is having their best game of the season so far.

Bradford has been an upgrade at QB. Week after week, he's throwing accurate passes into tight windows.

Patterson had a genuine impact on the game early in the 1st quarter and since then, he seems to have inexplicably disappeared from the game plan.

Thielen's having a good night too and Rudolph's TD catch was excellent.

That offsides penalty on Griffen was a pretty big mistake but thankfully, it only led to a FG.

It's fun to watch this defense. They're like 11 purple guided missiles.

Didn't look like it to me. He turns his head to look at Griffin after he has crossed the line.

Thanks, I couldn't tell.

I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes it's not good to get a talented player riled up... and sometimes it works in your favor. So far, so good. he hasn't had much impact on the game.

He's still green. GIve him some time.

[autobon7]

Only 1 QB hit and no sacks......lets kick it in over drive fellas

[jackal]

I liked everything except for the old norv play calling ... there was five minutes
left with three times out and like five run plays...uggg

I KNOW!!! He was getting open, and the Giants have a patchwork secondary!!! Take advantage of it!

The second hit on Rhoades should have OBJ ejected. Whistle had been blown and he initiated contact out of bounds.

[S197]

Bradford has a 104 passer rating and has yet to be hit.

I'm kind of wondering about Eli Manning... he's not exactly standing in there under pressure... he throws the ball into the ground at the slightest hint of pressure. Scared to get hit? Or is it a deliberate strategy?

I'm pretty sure it's the latter. Manning's never been afraid to take a hit. I think it's a way to avoid losing a crucial player to an aggressive defense and it helps prevent turnovers.
