Game
Notes: "You figured the Redskins were
in trouble right away, because let's face it, what team doesn't score on their
opening drive against the Giants? Somehow though, the score was in favor of the
Redskins 16-3 at the end of the half. This wasn't going exactly according to the
script. I guess the writers were on strike or something, because the Redskins
waited until the opening drive of the second half to march downfield and score.
Then you knew that the Giants were in trouble and the substitute writers were
really screwing things up. The Giants usually come back in the second half, but
those idiot substitute writers picked the script where the Giants usually lose
at home. And so, the Giants reading their lines to perfection tonight, lost to
the Redskins 22-10."
Game
Notes: "You know from being
a long time Giants fan that nothing comes easy. They start the season 0-2 and
then tease you into thinking that they could actually lock in a playoff spot on
the 14th game of the season. How dumb are you if you don't realize it has to come
down to beating an undefeated team (New England) on the last game of the season?
Yes, there's one more game to play before that.
The Giants (9-5) have Buffalo (7-7), and the Patriots (14-0) have Miami (1-13),
but as we said, "How dumb are you?" Expect this to come down to the
last game of the season. On another note, it's time for Eli Manning to really
explode. It's time for him to start punching guys in the head or whatever for
continually dropping passes. They should be afraid to come back to the huddle
after dropping one. I think there were about ten dropped passes tonight, giving
Eli Manning 34 incomplete passes - the most in the NFL since 1967." Early
