NFL-Giants: NY Giants football news

The Giants offense didn’t need Plaxico Burress to embarass the Seattle Sehawks. Seattle had no answer to the Giants run game and Manning was very accurate: 19-of-25 for 267 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions.

Even David Carr got in on the action with a TD pass. Was this the first time in NFL history that two #1 overall pick quarterbacks threw a touchdown pass to the in the same game for the same team and even to the same receiver? And who would have guessed that the receiver would be Sinorice Moss. Giants fans wondering what would happen to Moss are still wondering since he’s starting to look like a keeper…

The defense also owned Seattle all day giving up only 2 field goals. No one had a ton of tackles (Aaron Ross led the Giants with 6) but then again, Seattle didn’t really have the ball much.

WR Domenik Hixon and RT Kareem McKenzie had to leave the game with concussions. Get well soon guys!

Truth hurts Cowboys fans:

A pattern that should concern Dallas fans even more: Romo’s turnovers. In his last eight games dating to last season, including the playoff loss to the Giants, Romo has thrown just as many INTs (10) as he has TD passes (10). Never mind the 300-yard passing games. Frequent turnovers aren’t the sign of an elite quarterback, status Romo has been widely granted despite never winning a playoff game. For comparison, consider Eli Manning. During his past eight games, including postseason, the Giants’ quarterback has 14 TD passes and just three picks. Makes a difference.

I was going to go into individual performances, but the Giants so dominated the Rams in week 2 that almost everyone looked like an all-pro. We ran like crazy so Jacobs, Bradshaw and the offensive line get credit. Manning and Toomer had big games. We left a few TDs on the field early but hey it’s week 2 and we more than got the job done.

On defense, Tuck and Robbins were incredible. We didn’t give up much in the passing game so the secondary was strong. I especially liked Corey Webster’s game.

Special teams continue to look like the Giants weak link though Sammy Knight stood out some.

This article talks about Eli Manning’s error against the Redskins. He certainly got away with a few. What bugs me a little is Laron Landry’s comment: “Eli takes more chances than most, and he gives you the opportunity to make plays. It looked like street ball, but give him credit – he got it done.”

Yeah, and you did not Laron. Although let’s give Landry credit for this highlight reel stop of Brandon Jacobs:
