Game Notes:
"It was great to see the starters out there playing for more than just a quarter of a game. Brett Favre did pretty good in his first preseason game last week against Washington and I was anxious to see how our Giants defense would do against him tonight. The Jet fans were probably pretty anxious about it too considering how the Giants knocked out Cleveland's quarterback Derek Anderson last week. For quarterback protection, the Jets improved their front line this season, bringing in two top players, but they don't yet have much game experience playing with each other as a unit.
Anyway, the Giants sacked Farve once and held his group scoreless in the first half that he played in. Some of that sucsess was with the helping hand of the Jets who kept drawing yellow flags time after time, including one that recalled a Brett Favre touchdown. There wasn't much scoring overall and the Jets edged us out by three points, but the worst thing that happened wasn't losing this preseason game to the Jets. It was seeing Osi Umenyiora coming off the field in the second quarter with a leg injury. Let's hope for the best on that."

Game Notes:
"Last week the tight ends for the Giants had no catches. They needed to see if they could improve on that but it was the same story tonight. With kicker Lawrence Tynes may not make it back for the season opener, and Josh Huston had to show that he could handle that job. He had an extra point tipped and he missed a 42-yard field goal attempt last week against Cleveland, and he didn't help his case this game, banging one off the goalpost in a 42 yard attempt.
David Carr also didn't look as sharp as he did last week. He took 4 sacks, but in his defense, all three quarterbacks went down in this game including Eli Manning taking 3. They'll have to sort out the whos and whys on all that because the Jets came away with 8 sacks. The Jets were penalty happy as they were sack happy pulling in 12 total, including three straight in their opening second half possesion. Somehow that drive ended up in a touchdown as they slowly moved the ball down the field taking up 9:13 of the clock on 16 plays.
Overall the Giants defense did alright. They held the Jets to 10 points and came away with one interception. The Jets were only able to convet three of their thirthteen 3 rd downs. On the other side of that coin, the Giants 3rd down efficiency was only 4-13 and they let the Jets get to the quarterback at will."

Osi Umenyiora was hurt in the second quarter.
He was replaced by Dave Tollefson.

David Carr was 2 of 2 but was sacked the other four times he dropped back to pass.

Jets lead the all-time preseason series with the Giants 21-18-1 overall.

Jets won last season's preseason game against the Giants 20-12,
and the Giants won 35-24 in their regular season game to be 7-4 overall in that area.
