"I was hoping this would happen. Let's get three more wins! Last week the Giants beat the Chicago Bears in overtime, and the excitement continued, but in different ways. In that Chicago game the Giants let their lead slip at the end, and the Bears tied it up. It had me wondering this week what was going to happen after halftime with the Giants leading 34-0. It turned out I didn't have to worry, as the Giants stayed strong, continuing the shutout through the third quarter, and even added another touchdown.
Aldrick Rosas missed on the extra point attempt, but now with the score 40-0, Pat Shurmur felt comfortable enough to let backup quarterback Kyle Lauletta see some game action. The Redskins had already subbed out Mark Sanchez for Josh Johnson after that last Giants touchdown. Both Washington quarterbacks were recently added to the team after Washington lost both Alex Smith and his backup, Colt McCoy, to leg injuries. Johnson actually got his team going, and his Redskins added 16 points in the fourth quarter.
Lauletta did not do as well, and to be fair, Saquon Barkley was not playing at this point. Wayne Gallman and Elijhaa Penny were taking all the running back snaps, but they were moving the ball. Lauletta also didn't have Odell Beckham Jr.,as he was out for the entire game today. Hopefully Beckham will be over his injury, and will be back playing next week at MetLife against the Tennessee Titans. It's always great for the fans to get to see Beckham on the field before and during the game."

"The Giants caught the Redskins at what was likely the worst point of their season, and hit them with 40 points before they could even get close enough to score. It was like an early 'Christmas day' for the Giants and all their fans today. Manning's present was that he could sit on the sidelines watching an heir apparent playing, without the circumstances being anything like what he had to endure last year. Pat Shurmur was gifted a 'when do we get to see Kyle Lauletta?' weight off his shoulders. Wayne Gallman and Elijhaa Penny were gifted more carries than they had seen in any other game this season.
Kyle Lauletta's 'gift' was more like a lump of coal, as the rookie threw one interception, and all five of his passes fell incomplete. The interception and good field position led to Washington scoring their first points of the day as quarterback Josh Johnson, subbing for Mark Sanchez (it wasn't his day either) ran the ball in for a touchdown. After a Giants three-and-out, Johnson hit Jamison Crowder with a pass that went 79 yards for another Redskins touchdown.
Following another Giants three-and-out. Johnson was doing a good job of moving the ball downfield, but in the process made the mistake of going to Josh Doctson for the third time in a row. The Giants defense ended any idea of Washington scoring another touchdown when Michael Thomas intercepted Johnson's last pass to Doctson.
The Giants moved the ball for nine plays on their next drive which was enough to kill the clock, and give them a 40-16 win over the Redskins. I almost felt bad for Lauletta taking a knee to end the game, as that minus two yards was also added into his already poor looking stats for his first outing. However, it was still a good opportunity to have Lauletta get into the game, and see it's not so easy out there. Next up for the Giants is a home game against the Tennessee Titans who are 7-6, but have taken five of their six losses playing on the road."
