Giants Lose Home Opener to Falcons

Once again, the New York Giants allow the opposing quarterback to march down the field and score a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. This ultimately results in a 24-20 loss to Atlanta.

The Giants were up by 10 points in the 3rd quarter, and were in the red zone looking to score when Eli Manning coughed up the ball. The Falcons then marched down the field and scored. That was a 14 point turnaround.

The one positive thing I can see from this Giants team is their ability to tackle. That has greatly improved over last year. However, the same issues from last season seem ever present with the team this year. The secondary being picked a part, and the offense bring silenced in the fourth quarter once again.

The loss puts the Giants at the bottom of the NFC east with their third consecutive 0 and 2 start.

Injuries again are hitting the team with cornerback Dominique Rogers-Cromartie and tackle Ereck Flowers the latest casualties.

Over the next 5 weeks, Big Blue will face three divisional match ups with the Eagles, Cowboys, and a short week, as they face the Washington Redskins on Thursday night.

Catch all the action, beginning with the pre-game show Thursday night at 7:25pm, right here on 99.1 The Whale.

Go Giants!
