Apparently the Giants lost several starters/key players during the game too, including a torn ACL for a starting WR.

Can't trade a free agent, unless they slap the tag on him.

What transpired to make that happened was out and out bullshit.
How could they claim they DIDNT have time to see the replay sooner? McCarthy even ended up clling TO to ensure the FG unit got lined up ok.
But Maher is money now. He was good in half a season for the Saints last year but everyone (especially Zoners) just lambasted the team for bringing him back. He's one of the most improved players in the league right now and if they're smart they should start thinking about a contract extension for him, because several teams will be needing kickers next year.

They had plenty of time to do that BEFORE he kicked the first one. McCarthy even called TO and gave them MORE time to decide.
It was a bullshit move.

Considering how well the opponent had been playing coming in, along with their record, I'd say yesterday's performance was on an entirely different level.
Cousins had been sacked 20 times in 9 games coming in. We got him 7 times and nearly had 8 or 9. Parsons himself lost one by trying to ensure he wouldn't get a roughing the passer call (Cousins pump faked and Parsons thought the ball had been thrown, otherwise he could have just trucked him and got a 3rd sack)

They switched it nationally. I lost the game too here in Atlanta.
It occasionally happens with the regional broadcasts but rarely happens with the national one. I think CBS didnt hesitate to switch because the game was two NFC teams that should have been a FOX broadcast (thanks to Goodell and his new stupid network contracts, they have been flexing games normally dedicated to one network to the other for a couple years now). I bet had the Stealers/Bungles game been the national broadcast and 30-3 or whatever it was, they'd have stuck us with that.

You said we'd win, you didnt say we'd slap the living shit out of them.
Your visionary status is revoked.

And should have had at least 8.
Parsons got duped a little and also let up to ensure he didnt draw a flag on that play Cousins pump faked him. You could see the ref talking to him about it after the play too.
I guarantee you had he not been worried about a flag he'd have unloaded on Cousins. But this is what happens when you pussify the league with bullshit roughing the QB calls.

Yeah I just don't understand the need for him.
Even if you set aside the part about the guy being a douchebag prima donna, the dude's coming off ANOTHER ACL injury. What do they reasonably expect this guy to be able to do at this point? Supposedly if he signs this week or next he probably won't even be able to play till mid-December at the earliest. How much of an impact is he really going to make?
Why fuck with team chemistry.
