Monday Night Bummer
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Falcons had their chances. Not capitalizing on the fumble recovery or D. Hall’s interception hurt. They just can’t seem to take advantage of other team’s mistakes. Same as last week.
I was optimistic in the first few minutes of the game. Harrington looked good, the O-line was holding its blocks, the receivers were catching the ball. Then they could only get 3 points out of it. Kind of deflating.
Norwood’s long TD run was the highlight of the game. He can fly. The move he made was unbelievable.
The Falcons need a kicker who can make a long field goal. Morten is consistent within about 40-45 yards, but the Falcons need every point they can get.
The Giants got the boost after the roughing-the-kicker penalty and they never looked back. They got big plays when they needed them. Eli hit Plaxico, Toomer and Shockey with ease. How can someone be so open down the middle? How does the coverage break down like that? I don’t get it. D. Hall was sleep-walking through most of the first half, and then it was too late.
Too many Giants fans in the Dome tonight. Tired of seeing Manning and Shockey jerseys everywhere.
1-5 is bad. I don’t think this team is this bad. Joey is not great, but he makes good plays at times. He needs some help. He needs blockers and he needs the receivers to hang onto the ball. He needs to stick to the short throws. He can’t seem to make the long throws.
Go Falcons!!!
