Well it’s just before half time in the Giants/Eagles game and like I had predicted at the beginning of the game it has been a low scoring game all around.

Late in the half Michael Vick finally got his team into a position to score and a pass to Desean Jackson puts the first points up.

Looking at the numbers consider that this was the tenth drive of the game and the first drive to not end with a punt.

With the change of possession, Eli Manning has roughly a minute and a half to get down field in an attempt to tie it up before the end of the half.

Like I mentioned in my earlier post at at the beginning of the game it has been defense defense defense.

With less than 5 minutes left in the half neither team has been able to convert or get deep enough into their opponents territory to even attempt a field goal.

Both Michael Vick as well as Eli Manning have made some good plays and even had a few nice caught passes, but each time something happened to keep them from contining during that possession.

Currently the Eagles have the ball and have just made it into Giants territory so maybe it’s time to see points made.

Well it’s shaping up to be a pretty exciting game between the NY Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles.

I don’t look for it to be an extremely high scoring game and in fact I think a fair amount may well be decided by the individual defenses.

The first few posessions of the game did not result in scoring by either side so I may be correct in that, however it is early in the game so that could change.

Don’t forget that if the offensive is able to protect Michael Vick enough he can be explosive and his accuracy is enough to keep the Giants defense on their toes.

This is a great matchup since Eli Manning, the quarterback for the Giants has a pretty good arm on him as well.

I think a lot of the game will hinge on how well each of them can read and anticipate their opponents defensive lines.

For many Green Bay fans I think there was a point late ion the fourth quarter when they wondered if they could win.

Luckily the defense did manage to force a turnover and Green Bay was able to hold their one point lead and the Packers won the game 28 to 27.

I think there will likely be a bit more controversy ove the officials since there were a few calls that were clearly disputed by the Gren Bay bench as well as the fans. It may also blow over fairly quickly though since it did not cost them the game.

Kudos to the Saints though since I think they can finally say they are involved in the regular season. They need to continue to play like they did in today’s game.

The Saints are clearly back in the game now.

There have been a few questionable calls, the most controversial will be the pass that was ruled a complete pass by the saints that appeared during replays to be incomplete since he did not appear to have control of the ball as he hit the ground.

Now suddenly late in the third quarter suddenly New Orleans has the lead 24 to 21 over the Packers.

In addition the Saints have just intercepted a pass and have the ball again with a shot at increasing their lead.

Although they are down 21 to 14, New Orleans have held their own fairly well throughout this game. Many other teams would lose their momemtum and have trouble or become stressed and make too many mistakes.

Rodgers and the rest of Green Bay are doing well but I think for the second half you have to think that the defense needs to improve a bit in this game.

They have to force more turnovers and watch the run in the middle more. New Orleans has been able gain yards and convert a few first downs when it really needed to.

The New Orleans defense needs to penetrate and keep Rodgers on the move more effectively if they expect to have a btter chance at shutting him down.

Coming in to this game at 0 and 3 in my opinion I think they are performing much better then most expected.

Hitting Greg Jennings for his 50th career catch, the first of this season, early in the second quarter, Green Bay adds more points and takes the lead back over New orleans.

Rodgers has now completed passes to 7 different recievers.

Green Bay now up 14 to 7 against New Orleans.

Green bay back at home for the first hame since the replacement official debacle of last week is first to take the lead with a touchdown in the first quarter.

It was 7 plays and 62 yards but I think the ability of Aaron Rodgers to move the ball and read the defense of the Saints will actually improve as the game continues.

In order for New Orleans to be effective I think they are going to have to force him out of the pocket more and keep changing things up. He does well under this kind of pressure but it remains to be seen whether they can do this effectively.

I am not sure what the head coach is thinking since he puts Sanchez back in on the next possession after having given Tebow only 2 plays. I think he needs to put him back in.

If San Francisco can convert this possession into another score I think the Jets will be in a position that will be diificult to recover from.

The 49ers have the ball and are nearing mid field and have a 24 to nothing lead with less than 11 minutes left in the game.
