The G-Men looked especially good in the second half when their running game finally started to generate some yards.  The defense bent a lot in the first half, allowing Carolina to drive deep, but never broke, holding the Panthers to field goals instead of touchdowns.  In the second half the D really started to look good.<\/p>\n<p>Sill, a lot of areas to work on.  The special teams looked awful.  This new punter is no Jeff Feagles, and unless he improves, that could be a real problem.   And the WRs dropped way too many balls, letting them bounce off their hands to Panther defenders.  None of the Giant INTs were actaully Eli&#8217;s fault&#8230; unlike the Panther INTs, which were all due to bad decisions by their QB.<\/p>\n<p>But hey, it&#8217;s  win.
