Hello everybody. New York Giants Featured Columnist John Borgolini here. I will be guiding you through the week 4 matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Giants.
The season keeps getting worse for the Giants. A week after getting torn apart by the Indianapolis Colts in week 2, the Giants had an even worse showing in their week 3 return home as they beat themselves and gave the Tennessee Titans a decisive 19-point win.
The Giants did show a lot of promise, holding Chris Johnson to below average numbers for the first three quarters, but their lack of discipline earning 11 penalties for sheer stupidity.
They will be facing a Bears team that is coming off a big divisional win on the stage of Monday Night Football for all the nation to see. They were fortunate enough to force a fumble and kick the game-winning field goal in the final minutes of the game.
New York will have its hands full with the pass-happy offense of Mike Martz. The Giants absolutely cannot afford another loss tonight, so they should come out firing right away knowing the talent they're up against.
Post game:
The Giants took advantage of no resistance from the Bears' offense. While they did win, they didn't look impressive at all. To compete against Houston next week the Giants need to take more chances on offense and need to keep up the pressure against a better offensive line.
It was surprising to see Manningham only get targeted once and have no catches. New York will have to get him more involved next week to have a chance.
Please share your thoughts, and I'll respond to any comments you make. Enjoy!
The Giants win 17-3. The Bears offensive line just keeps looking worse. Thank you all for following along.
Jacobs picking on a mentally beat Bears team. Now they'll take some knees and walk away with the win. It's amazing that the Giants are tied for first in their division. They have a lot to work on.
I don't think next week's game in Houston will be pretty.
Tuck giving Hanie his first sack. Fewell looks like he has a personal problem with these quarterbacks.
Caleb Hanie can't be pleased to go in against this defense.
Bears down to there third quarterback now. Do you think anyone misses Rex Grossman? Probably not. They just have to hope Cutler's concussion isn't serious.
Great adjustment by Nicks for the big catch. Every time they've gone deep it has worked.
Jacobs in for the touchdown. Giants pretty much sealed the game with that, but they don't have anything to be proud of.
How are the Giants going to screw this up now?
Collins just took a big hit. The Giants need a safety here.
Another fumble, this time by Bradshaw on what should have been a touchdown. Can we just call it a draw? No one deserves to win this game.
Giants appear to be running out the time. Not wise if that's what they're doing. They certainly don't have a good lead at all. They need to take more chances deep. This is awful to watch.
Very fortunate play. Third and short and Jacobs goes in. Of course Gilbride calls a run.
Bradshaw back on the field after holding his left ankle last drive. That would have been bad as he dealt with two bad ankles last season.
The Bears are playing awful offense. They can't move the ball, but they get the field goal to pull within seven.
Anthony Adams charges into the backfield. Jacobs with terrible concentration and fumbles.
Manning hits Bradshaw for the first on a screen. New York got lucky there was so much pressure.
More power from Bradshaw for the first down.
Deon Grant in the right place. Collins with an overthrow leading to an interception. Looked like poor communication between Collins and Olsen. The tight end was looking around for the ball.
Good play by Goff there. He couldn't have helped that contact to the helmet.
Osi just got badly fooled on that end around. He didn't know who had the ball as Hester ran behind him. That's embarrassing.
Manning overthrows Nicks. Another three-and-out. For some reason they avoided a long play there.
The Bears play the Packers really well and are struggling against the Giants? This is amazing.
Bradshaw scores a touchdown. Seriously didn't think that was going to happen tonight. Great power from such a small back.
Giants up by 10.
Beckum with the Giants third-consecutive first down. Maybe New York can get a 6-point lead.
Bradshaw with the fourth-consecutive first down and puts the Giants inside the five.
There's a pass longer than 10 yards. Notice how it's working.
Steve Smith barely getting the first down. Why hasn't Gilbride noticed that the short game isn't working? They had two starting field positions on the Bears half of the field and got no points. Terrible.
