Proud of my guys for showing some fight when they could have laid down. Seattle has some work to do before you proclaim them NFC champs.

Bad play calling and one very bad throw by Hasselbeck. But the final score doesn't represent what happened. I think the Giants come out at least not completely embarrassed going into their bye week. I still think they are the best team in the NFC East.
 
For anybody who's watching this on TV: Has the plethora of excuses for this ###-whooping have begun from the Giants/Manning apologists up in the booth? :D

 
Good win today. Couple of mistakes and a dime defnse in the prevent made it closer than it ever should have been but I like what I saw for the first three qtrs. Hassy was extremely sharp and the receiving corps looked solid. SA still needs to get going though. Next week is a HUGE game vs the Bears who have such an easy schedule. Need to win that one IMO.

:banned: GO HAWKS!

I'm really not pleased with this game and the future ramifications of it. Should we meet the Giants again, they know they can move the ball on us. <_<

Dime defense. Outside the two turnovers they really only moved the ball on one drive. You play a different defnse up 39 points anyway. I think the playcalling has me worried. Once you get into the 4th quarter being cute is not a good stategy.
 
I've never seen a team try so hard to lose a 30 point lead in my life. Why in the world were they still throwing? Ridiculous....

:goodposting: You think they would have learned watching Philly last week.or ever worst the game they blew to St. Louis 2 years ago because of similiar play calling.
 
What do Philadelphia and Seattle have in common this year? Neither has a good enough running game to impose its will by running the ball even when they have a lead. They're both throw-first teams.

That wasn't the case last year with SA, and I can't tell whether the change is due to the loss of Hutch, the wear and tear of all those carries and the postseason on SA, or both.

A) Shaun is injured.B) The Seahawks prevent defense was the cause of all of their problems today.

B isn't remotely true. Hasselbeck's second interception was followed on the very next play by a 25-yard TD pass. The very purpose of a prevent defense is to prevent big plays, not allow a 1 play, 5 second, 25 yard drive. And how is Hasselbeck's third interception which was returned for a TD the fault of prevent defense.Hasselbeck's decision-making/throws and Holmgren's play-calling should be credited in large part with creating the huge advantage, but they also must be acknowledged as aiding the the fourth quarter comeback. Alexander's injury didn't cause the interceptions to be thrown. Punts would have been just fine.
 
Seattle came out fired up and pissed off to start the game. They became complacent in the second half with a big lead. Nothing to see here.

So you're agree that the prevent defense didn't do its job?Shaun was banged up, and as a result the running game wasn't up to the task of putting the game on ice. That in turn forced the Seahawks to throw the ball more which lead to a fluke INT, and later a terrible decision by Hasselbeck. But when it's all said and done, it was the Seahawks prevent defense that failed to get the job done. They gave up big play after big play. I'll take my chances with an aggressive Seahawks defense any day of the week over the crap we saw today in the 4th quarter.
 
I think the real reason for today's 4th quarter (which is also for the eagles game last week) is that Eli thrives in the no huddle offense. He has been studying Payton for a long time and he is going to be a very effective in that scheme. Now ##### coughlin needs to loosen up a little with his hard-###, old school attitude and needs to meet them in the middle. I still think the Giants have the talent to be a Super Bowl winner, but w/ no bend or adaptation by their coach they will be 8-8 at best.

Coughlin is kind of like Larry Brown...the Knicks weren't setup to play his type of game but he refused to budge 1" to let them try their style or event meet in the middle and they totally sucked

If the Giants turn to the no huddle over their bye week...watch out NFC

 
I heard it was because the Giants president called the NFL and complained that the Seahawks were not allowing them to score enough points.

The prevent defense was nothing special but it wasn't horrible. Hasselbeck's interceptions literally gave the Giants 7 points and gave them prime field position for 7 points. My main point is that one cannot criticize the prevent defense but give Hasselbeck and the play calling a free pass. The interceptions had more of an impact in closing the gap on the scoreboard than did the prevent defense.
