Giants Win a Game in September!

Rashad Jenning just ran for 170 or more yards agains the Houstan Texans, and Eli Manning was money and threw for 2 TD's to Cruz and Fells and the Giants ended up winning 30-17 to make them 1-2 and give them their first September win in a few years.

They got off to a scary start.   Donnell fumbled in the green zone as it looked like the Giants were going to march in for a first quarter TD.   Next drive they got a bad snap on an FGA and also came up pointless.  Next drive Parker dropped the third down pass.  It was impossible to know at that point if they'd have any more good drives, but they did.  They scored three TD's and three FG's after the early miscues.

Cruz had a huge 61 yard reception early, where he was surprisingly caught from behind.  He did; however, score a TD on a great YAC move later, and was able to make all of his catches.  We need him.  We need Beckham, too, because this offense looks like it might be pretty good after all.

The D had an up and down game, giving up three big plays of over 40 yards - one run, 2 passes - they have to clean that up.  They also need to get some guys back, and they are really missing the safety play of Will Hill.   Berhe had to replace Brown late after he was torched for one of the big plays.

They still have a bunch of stuff to clean up, and it will be easier after a win, even with the short week.  In the main, though, I'd rather see them let the young players make their mistakes, then let old players continue the same ones they have always made.

Big win.  Big Thursday nighter coming up.
