New York Giants' most productive defensive player "grateful" the team chose Charlie Bullen for interim defensive coordinator post. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

Eli Manning is a Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalist for the second straight year. The former #NYGiants QB is not going to get a gold jacket for a long while, however. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

BBV's @raptormkii.bsky.social offers an outstanding breakdown of what the #NYGiants need to learn from the firing of defensive coordinator Shane Bowen. Better coaching is part of it. Better player accountability is also needed. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

Shane Bowen firing explained by #NYGiants interim head coach Mike Kafka. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

Kafka: Only focus is to try to find a way to win the next game.

Kafka: Long week with Giants playing Monday is part of why he made the move to Charlie Bullen now. Gives extra day to make changes.

Kafka: Dexter Lawrence "toughed it out" on Sunday and was only playing passing snaps. Says that was "the right thing to do." Says Dex was in tears on the sideline.

Kafka: Firing Bowen was his decision. He did consult with GM Joe Schoen.

Kafka: Charlie Bullen will have free reign to install "his vision" of the defense.

Kafka: Defense battled. "A lot of good things" came out of Sunday.

Kafka: "I have a lot of faith in Charlie ... the pedigree he bring ... I know he's ready for the task."

Kafka: "Felt like this was the right time" to make a change at defensive coordinator. "Thought today was the right time."

Mike kafka confirms Charlie Bullen will take over for Shane Bowen as #NYGiants DC.

The #NYGiants have FINALLY fired defensive coordinator Shane Bowen. A big move for interim HC Mike Kafka. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

Even President Trump can't believe what is going on with the #NYGiants. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

The #NYGiants could be having a fun season -- if they didn't keep messing it up in historic fashion. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

Our 'Kudos & Wet Willies' review of the #NYGiants overtime loss to the Detroit Lions praises Mike Kafka and the offense and, as usual, crushes Shane Bowen and the defense. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

Analytics disagreed with Mike Kafka. I did not. Did the #NYGiants coach make the right call to go for the TD up 3 points with 3 minutes to play on fourth-and-goal at the Detroit 6-yard line? www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

The #NYGiants blew a double-digit lead for the FIFTH time this season and lost in OT to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Our painful recap is here. www.bigblueview.com/new-york-gia...

Winston sacked by Hutchinson on 4th and 5. Giants lose a crusher in OT, 34-27.

Jameis Winston keeps Giants alive by running for 11 yards on 4th and 10.

69-yard TD run by Jahmyr Gibbs on 1st play of OT. Untouched. No Dexter Lawrence on the field. Lions lead, 34-27. Why no Dex is a question for the post-game.

Giants win the coin toss and give Detroit the ball. That way they will know exactly what they need when they get the ball.

And, we get overtime with the score tied 27-27.

Unreal. 59-yard Jake Bates field goal ties the game. Career long for Bates, just squeezes in there. 27-27.

Oh, man. Delay of game on Giants pushes Detroit into range for about a 53-yard FG. Giants need to hope for a tie here w/:58 to play.

Analytics wanted the FG there. I'm OK with going for the TD. Problem is they lost yardage on the 3rd down play.

Giants lose yardage on 3rd and goal at the 4. I figured they'd go for it if they were close, but now they have 4th and goal at the 6 w/2:59. Kafka chooses to go.

Third and 6 at NYG 42. Incomplete pass, but DPI on Brian Branch vs. Theo Johnson gives #NYGiants a first down w/6:44 to play at midfield.

Isaiah Hodgins with a 30-yard grab on a 3rd and 10 Jameis Winston moonball gives Giants a massive first down.

Giants defense forces 3 and out. Credit where it's due. Giants ball.

Here we go. Thomas harper picks Jameis Winston and the Lions are in business at the NYG 45.

Now, can the #NYGiants defense hold this lead?

Are you serious? Trick play Olszewski pass back to Winston, who breaks tackles and scores a 33-yard TD. Giants lead 27-17 w/12:16 to play. The Jameis Winston Experience strikes again.

3rd and 4 and the Giants pick it up with a run play. Little surprise there.

Here we are again. The #NYGiants take a 20-17 lead into the 4th quarter. They have had 4th quarter leads they could not hold 4 times this year, including the last 2 weeks. Can they make this one hold up?

Wait, what's that? An interception by the Giants. Jevon Holland with the ricochet off Amon-Ra St. Brown. Looked like the Lions were about to at least tie up the game, maybe take the lead. Not yet.

Big sack for Nacho makes it 2nd and 18 at NYG 27.

Daniel Bellinger, Jameis Winston miss a big opportunity.

Tyrone Tracy running through tackles. Gets 10 yards and a big first down to get the Giants off their goal line.

Ineligible man downfield penalty negates big play for Lions. 3rd and 16 now for Detroit. Lions punt on 4th and 8 inside NYG 45.

Jake Bates 37-yard FG makes it 20-17 Giants at the half. Lions ball at the start of the 3rd quarter.

Lions quickly to #NYGiants 24 w/:07 left in the half.

Whoa! Younghoe Koo with a TD saving tackle on the kickoff return. Lions still set up at their own 43.

Giants get a Younghoe Kooe 44-yard FG (His long as a Giant) for a 20-14 lead with :38 left in the half.

Of course Eric Gray muffs the first kickoff he touches. Amazing. Ball security has always been an issue for Gray on returns.

No chance you can go for it there if you are the Giants. That's nuts.

Jahmyr Gibbs breaks big run. Lions inside NYG 5. 49 yards. Gibbs then catches 3 yards TD pass. Lions back within 3 just before the 2:00 mark of the half. 17-14.

Well, Darius Alexander with another sack. That's 2 for the rookie. Dexter Lawrence with a pressure to force it.

Fantastic 12-yard TD catch by Isaiah Hodgins. Giants answer Lions with a TD of their own. 17-7 New York.
