Game
Notes: "You didn't know what
to expect after watching the Giants the past two weeks. It was great to see them
get off to a fast start. Washington got the ball first and their 3rd and 2 completed
pass turned into a 3rd and 12 because of a penalty. With the Redskins running
game working so well, I don't know if Kirk Cousins has had to handle many 3rd
and long situations, and when the Giants brought pressure this time, he didn't.
They had to punt and when Rashad Jennings ran into the kicker, I thought 'Here
we go again'. Luckily there was an offsetting penalty so Washington had to kick
again. Jennings wasn't shy from the last play and he blocked the punt and it went
out of the end zone for a safety and two points. Now that's how to start a game! The
next time that Cousins tried a pass, he was intercepted by Prince Amukamara and
he took it a few yards back to the Redskins 14 yard line. Eli Manning's pass to
Odell Beckham Jr. was good for 6 yards and to Rueben Randle for 7 and then Andre
Williams punched it in on his second carry and the Giants went up 9-0. Our
defense held them to 3 and out, and the next time the Giants had the ball they
added a field goal. We were 12-0 at the end of the first quarter and beating the
Redskins in all areas. At the end of the half it was 15-6 and you kind of got
the feeling that the Giants weren't going to let yet another lead slip away in
front of all their fans today at the stadium. They didn't and the final score
was 32-21, so now the pressure is off, having nailed down a win. Because this
was a Thursday game they'll have a lot of time to prepare for their next game
up in Buffalo."
Game Notes:
"The Redskins, who have been tearing up the field with their running attack,
tried it against the Giants and came up short. It's true that Matt Jones and Alfred
Morris didn't have as many opportunities as they did in the earlier games, but
still, they each ran for their lowest averages per carry. The
Redskins had run for an impressive 161 and 182 yards in the first two games and
here the Giants held them to just 62 on the first 19 carries out of 20. The Redskins
added 26 yards more to that to achieve 88 when the Giants were content to let
Chris Thompson run up the middle on the last play of the game to kill the clock.
Kirk Cousins wasn't able to bail them out with his arm. He had 49 chances to do
it and ended up throwing 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. To be fair, the ball
was bounced up in the air on the second interception and Uani' Unga snagged it.
Cousins could have used a big play receiver like DeSean Jackson out there, and
there's a chance he could make it back for their next game against the Eagles.
The Giants had control of this game from the start and never let go. The opened
the second half with confidence and even went for a 4th and 1 at Washington's
38 yard line. They settled for a field goal a few plays later, but ate up half
of the 3rd quarter with their 7:40 drive. It was on Washington's next possession
that Unga intercepted Cousins. So are the Giants back on track? It seems almost
too easy to say that having middle linebacker Jon Beason back in on defense for
the first time this year made all the difference, but you have to count in that
factor. On offense you can say they did a very strong job, especially considering
that Ereck Flowers didn't play. Unlike last week, Eli Manning was able to utilize
Rueben Randle, and now Victor Cruz looks to be back for the next game against
the Bills."
