Giants 20-20 49ers, 3rd Quarter

Niners take the opening drive of the half the length of the field, capping it off with Mullen’s finding Matt Brieda in the end zone to give the home team a 10 point lead. Giants are struggling to get any pressure on the QB who is only starting his 2nd pro game. Giants reply with Manning finding OBJ for a TD on a 4 play drive that started with a Corey Coleman 51 yard kickoff return. Odell is having his way with the 49ers secondary. After a Niners 3 and out the Giants get inside the red zone but again have to settle for a FG to tie the game at 20. Could have been so much more but OBJ slipped coming out his route when wide open in 3rd down. Anyone’s game entering the 4th Quarter.

Giants 27-23 49ers, Final
Giants pick Mullen’s on opening play of the quarter with Goodson getting his 2nd if the night. Giants can’t capitalise and go 3 and out. After some pretty turgid offensive possessions which included Eli under-throwing OBJ when he would of walked into the end zone the 49ers kicked the go-ahead FG with 2.46 to play after 6 minute drive. The Giants reply with a TD drive (Eli to Shepherd) which both sides committed stupid penalties, especially the Niners who handed New York 2 automatic first downs. Eli actually looked great on that drive. The Giants took a 27-23 lead with 53 seconds remaining. A bullshit roughing the passer call gave the 49ers a nice start and 3 straight completions got them inside the Giants 25 with 1 second remaining. Mullens then overthrew his receivers and the Giants held on for the victory.

A thrilling victory in the end to give us our 2nd W of the season. More positives than negatives to take out of that. Eli showed flashes of his old self while the O-Line protected him well and only gave up 1 sack. The defence forced 2 INTs but couldn’t get any pressure on the QB. Saquon had a quiet 2nd half but did have a big time reception on our final drive to get inside the 10. 49ers will feel they only have themselves to blame and I feel sorry for George Kittle who was superb again.

49ers defense fucked it. Blown coverage on more than one occasion and stupid penalties.

Your O Line is pretty decent though. QB had ages at times to pick passes. Or was that due to Giants' shit pass rush?

A really good 1st half in LA. Plenty of offence with very little defence (even with the fumble return for a TD). Aaron Donald is just a beast, a generational talent? My only gripe is the amount of penalties. Some of it has been undisciplined play by KC but a lot is the ref’s being flag happy. I said it yesterday but the officiating this season has been poor.

First game on NFL history that both sides have scored more than 50, highest scoring Monday night game and third highest scoring game of all time. 

Insane, incredible entertainment. There is nothing to pick between these 2 and the saints, 3 awesome teams right there this year.
