WTF Moment of the Game:
1. When did the New York Giants switch bodies with the New York Jets??? Just seem like a mess there. Eli Manning threw 3 INTs in the game. This is not a Tom Coughlin team when they keep shooting themselves in the foot.
2. Rueben Randell is lucky that he didn’t get called for fumbling the football when he caught the ball and slipped on the ground. Now he wasn’t touched but he was so mad for slipping and falling so he slammed the ball on the ground. Got bailed out by the ref calling him “giving himself up” Just more reasons for the Giants downfall.
3. WHY DID THE BEARS GO FOR IT ON 4TH DOWN?!?! It is the 1st quarter and your defense just got an INT to put you in good field position. Take the 3 points. You knew coming into the week, that the Giants offense has been a struggle, don’t let them have momentum. Doesn’t matter in the scheme of things since they won the game but that could have been a big turning point.
Great Moments of the Game:
1. Brandon Jacobs still got it! He ran all over the depleted Bears offensive line. It was like, he got in a time machine and brought back the old Jacobs. For a moment there, it seemed like the Giants were going to have their old ways back but fell short in the end. Even in the loss, that doesn’t take away from what he did in the game.
2. Another BRANDON! This time, his last name is Marshall. One of those games, where you think Marshall is unstoppable. Even the Giants CB played well against him but he was still catching ball. No wonder why Marshall is Cutler favorite target. Just throw the ball up for him and he will get it.
3. Brandon Marshall bright green shoes. When i first saw this I was like, “Oh no, here is another attention grabbing moment for Marshall” but when i dig deeper, there is a story about this. If you don’t know, Brandon Marshall has borderline personality disorder and he wore these shoes to promote awareness about it. Also the NFL will fine him for not wearing proper shoes but he says he will match that fine to a charity about borderline personality disorder. A nice story and good for Brandon Marshall.
