Deus Irae said:McNabb's been the league's best quarterback so far this season. But, just this past week, he threw two outs that were jumped by Ronde Barber for touchdowns. I guess he's done too. Then there's Tom Brady, who threw a 100+ yard touchdown pass to Champ Bailey in last season's playoffs. He must be done. We really need to start sticking forks in all these shot quarterbacks.
Come on, people, be realistic.
Michael Strahan noted that he was surprised that Dallas didn't have more protection set up in the first half so, unless he was lying his ass off for no particular reason, it's pretty clear that the problem was coaching. Bledsoe was hurried or hit on almost every one of his pass attempts, and 3 of the 4 sacks involved Giants players coming through untouched. Bledsoe isn't the problem, as the almighty Romo quickly showed while scrambling for his life on several occasions and still getting sacked twice in the second half, as well as throwing 3 picks. The problem is an offensive line that didn't get the needed upgrade, and a coaching staff that doesn't adapt to that problem against teams with a good pass rush.
