Game
Notes: "Wow,
there wasn't much booing at the stadium today. The Giants brought their 'A' game
and got off to a real strong start. They marched downfield with Brandon Jacobs
picking up some big yardage and he took it in on the final 8 yards for a touchdown.
The Defense had the Redskins three and out and this time the offense mixed it
up a bit more and before long Ahmad Bradshaw ran one in for a 4 yard touchdown.
The Giants were up 14-0 and it sure looked like they would be able to put this
one away early. Eli Manning messed up, throwing an interception into the endzone
when he decided on first down and goal from the Redskins 4 yard line to let the
pressure force him into making a bad toss. If ever there was a time for Eli to
screw up, it was in this game, because the Redskins certainly didn't have it today.
They didn't score off his mistake, and before long the Giants had another touchdown
and a 21-0 halftime lead that turned into 28-0 in the third quarter. That's
when Donovan McNabb put together a four play drive resulting in his receiver,
Anthony Armstrong, pulling in a 33 yard touchdown. Still it was hard to worry
with the score being 28-7. That was about all the offense the Redskins could muster
and it was fairly easy for the Giants to control the rest of the game, including
an additional field goal by Lawrence Tynes to make it 31-7. Let's hope
that next week goes as well against the Vikings."

Game Notes:
"This
game got off to a great start with Danny Ware taking the ball 37 yards down the
field on the opening kickoff. Brandon Jacobs took over in a big way, cementing
his starting status with hard driving runs to bring the Giants to their first
opening drive touchdown of the season. He finished this game with 103 yards on
only 8 carries and likely would have seen more action except for how this game
played out against the Redskins. He'll certainly be fresh for the Vikings next
week. Ahmad Bradshaw did most of the ground work with his 25 carries and kept
drives going as the Giants had an easy time today against the Redskins. Eli Manning,
who always instructs his young receivers on the intricacies of the game, needs
to talk some quarterback sense to himself. Taking risks with the ball when you're
at the four yard line and have four downs to play is something no top quarterback
should ever do. Eli sent most of his passes to Derek Hagan because Mario Manningham
drew more coverage. Donovan McNabb is always a worry, but the defense sacked
him four times and pulled in two interceptions. Jason Pierre-Paul was responsible
for two of those sacks, and that's the second week in a row he's done that. Terrell
Thomas also repeated his performance of coming up with an interception in two
straight games. It was strange that a defensive impact player like Albert Haynesworth
did not play in this game even though he was healthy, but there have been other
strange things going on with the Redskins this season." Scoring:
