Sweet victory over Dallas
I hated the refs for giving Dallas that second TD. But whatever. You have to love a game where we destroy Dallas with great defense and a very sold running game. Brandon Jacoba are both amazing. They can move the pile, break off a big run, etc. Gotta credit the offensive line as well.
Not sure what to say about matthews – you don’t want your blocking tightend to get called for holding too much. But I don’t want to start complaining. Great blocking, great running, great defense = great game.
It’s hard to pick just a few guys on defense to praise but how about Danny Clark? Nice game. Corey Webster? Justin Tuck? Gotta love the Giants defense.
Some people might be complaining about Eli’s interception, fumble, bad passes. Just remember you don’t get perfect games. QBs don’t go 40/40. Turnovers happen. I’m just excited we have a QB who can pass for a TD. It wasn’t that long ago when we had to root for Kent Grahm and Danny Kannell. There’s just no getting around the fact that Eli’s a good QB and even if today wasn’t his best game he still helped us win. 16/27 and 3 TDs? I’ll take it.
Did Plax help us win? He had some nice blocks. He couldn’t come up with that TD catch where Eli threw it behind him. He dropped one that was thrown real well with aout 3 minutes left that could have helped the Giants run out the clock. I really want to give him the benefit of the doubt though. He was amazingly clutch last season. I wonder if he ran the wrong route and caused the interception – that could make me stop sticking up fpr him…

I was thinking that even after Eli tossed that pass to the boys for their first touchdown I wasnt a bit worried about the outcome of the game.Its been along time since Ive felt that way, and its not cockiness. Just a feeling that the Giants have matured into a great team, that wont be rattled or panic when things dont always go right.I may not always be able to relax watching the game,butI dont spend the whole three hours perched on the edge of the chair either.
