“Just Grin and Bear It”

Giants v/s Bears was a pivotal game for the New York Football Giants. The question was could a struggling Gmen squad host the “undefeated” Bears in the new Meadowlands stadium without an embarrassing exhibition? Hold up, wasn’t it only week 4? So, why are we throwing around words like “undefeated” as though it really carries weight at this point?  I mean I remember last season when my Gmen went 5-0…and then suffered 4 straight losses back to back! *shudders* Any who, that was the question and my Gmen showed up with the answer. On Twitter I tweeted this message before the game: “Dear Defense, Please be sure to give the Bears a thorough tour of the new stadium. Starting w/Cutler meeting the turf! Thanks...” 8:22 PM Oct 3rd via ÜberTwitter    and meet the turf he did! Cutler spent as much time on his back as he did on his feet and Collins didn’t fare much better! Let’s recap the highlights of game 4, shall we, New York’s defense held the Bears to six first downs, forced three turnovers, and accumulated ten sacks , nine of them in the first half! Did you hear that TEN SACKS! Excuse me for a second…DEEEEEEEEFENSE! What a beautiful thing!  On the other side of the ball Bradshaw rushed for 129 yards and Jacobs rushed for 62 yards both bringing in a much needed touchdown a piece. The running game is emerging slowly, but surely!  Now truth be told , even with the running game opening up, offense still in my eyes hasn’t hit their groove, but the second half of Sunday night’s game looked like they were starting to warm up.  Manning connected with a few players including Nicks for some very nice catches! I deem Nicks “Mr. Incredible”, because his hands are amazing!!!! Now there were some punt issues and a missed field goal that occurred, but honestly, this was the closest game so far that looked like New York Giants football to me.  Defense seems to have found their identity; they’re just waiting for the other sides of the ball to get the memo. Things are turning around and with the score being 17-3 I proudly declare G’s up, Bears down! Now I am in no way declaring “Hakuna Matata”, but sometimes you just have to grin and BEAR it! Go Big Blue!
