That's Why He Gets the Big Bucks!

Eli and his kid receivers and injury decimated team just went down to Dallas and opened the new stadium with a last second win! It was sort of a weird game as the Giants couldn't really get their running game going, and Dallas was beating them off the snap pretty frequently. The two teams traded leads, but the keys for the Giants were that they had no turnovers and Dallas turned it over 4 times, and the Giants had Eli, and he is the best 4th quarter QB around. All told Eli threw for 330 yards with TD passes to Manningham and Smith and no turnovers. Manningham and Smith were both amazing, and finished with 1o catches, well over 100 yards and one TD each. Once again the Giants bogged down in the redzone and had to settle for FG's instead of scoring TD's, and that's really what kept a +4 TO margin game close. But, they took a lead in the division and they did it on the road against a record crowd.

On D, we got no sacks, but rookie FA Bruce Johnson had a pick six and Kenny Phillips had two int's of his own, one of which should have resulted in a TD but the ref was too quick with the whistle. Justin Tuck got hurt when Flozell Adams kicked him in the knee and yanked his left arm. Hixon, sprained his knee, so as injured as we were coming in, it got worse! We'll need to straighten out the redzone stuff and get some guys back, but we're off to a great start. Go Giants!

Eli was Eli. He loves the ball at the end of the game. The young receivers were amazing. Mario is extremely talented and dangerous. Steve Smith runs incredible routes. His touchdown route was one of the best ever. What a fake. Our playcalling in the redzone still seems to be strange. I know some of that is execution against the blitz. We don't seem to believe in passing the ball into the end zone. It baffles me. However, great start and great win in JJ's new house.
