Game Notes:
"If you had the chance to be at the Stadium tonight, you felt like a lot of other Giants fans, that the football season has finally started. I know it's actually the second preseason game, but this one was the first home game, and the Giants treated us to a 41-13 victory. Eli Manning and his starting group looked much better in this game.
I thought the defense would have had more sacks considering the Bears gave up so many to the Giants in the game last season, and they gave up 9 to the Bills in their first preseason game. The real bad news is that we lost corner back Terrell Thomas probably for the rest of the year. That really hurts us on defense in the secondary.
I was impressed with our running game. Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw looked sharp, and will only be limited in how the coordinator decides to use them. If he gets it right this season, it will take a lot of pressure off of Eli Manning and his receivers. To me David Carr looks like he should be a starter on some team in the NFL and I think he has won our backup job. I look forward to seeing the Giants going up against the Jets on Saturday. It sure will be interesting to see Plaxico Burress on the field."

Game Notes:
"With more playing time in the second preseason game, it was a chance to get a look at the starters and see who has potential. Victor Cruz looked good with a nice 21 yard catch and he finished with three of them for 40 yards. Mario Manningham and Ahmad Bradshaw also made some nice catches, but both could improve when Manning throws their way. Domenik Hixon turned one of his two catches into a touchdown and tight end Daniel Coats also scored on his 17 yard catch from David Carr.
It wasn't until Brandon Jacobs was featured that the offense really started to take off. He scored the Giants first touchdown this preseason in the second quarter on an 18 yard run. Aside from Jacobs and Bradshaw, D.J. Ware ran well and took one in for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, Terrell Scott went from almost going down at the two to scampering and running the ball 97 yards for a touchdown. That was right after Mark Herzlich caught an interception at the Giants goal line. Devin Thomas looked good as a kick returner. He returned three kicks for an average of 46 yards.
The defense didn't come away with ten sacks like they did when they faced the Bears last season, but they controlled them for most of the game. Jonathan Goff played well and he had the lone Giants sack on Jay Cutler. Aaron Ross told us that he feels like he can turn it on this year and he showed it in this game. That's just in time because Terrell Thomas went down with a bad injury and two other corners, first-round pick Prince Amukamara has a broken foot and Bruce Johnson is out for the season."
