The Giants are now 2-2, after an ugly and somewhat nerve-wracking 24-10 win in Buffalo. The Giants looked very good for almost the entire first half, but when offered the opportunity to score to end the first half, then get the ball and score to start the second, the Giants turned down both opportunities, and really didn't have any good drives till the beginning of the 4th quarter, when Eli hit Jennings and he went for a 51 yard score. Odell did not have a big game, and Harris who did have a TD, injured his ribs when he was hit after a drop, and was in and out after that.
The Defense played pretty well and at times started to show that old, physical Spags feel. Kennard, Wynn, Prince, Collins and Nikita Whitlock all had big plays on D.
Though ugly, this was a big and needed win for the Giants, and they should get some players back at some point. Home against the 49ers next week.

If the offense could get as much out of their personnel as the defense, this team could be very good.
The defense is a pass rusher away from being pretty freakin good.
What a find Whitlock is!!
"We're still 4-0 in my mind," Beckham said. "We lost two games, we didn't get beat.
"We're really 2-2, but you know what I mean," he added. "That's the mentality. Keep on going."
Shit, they really need a TE:

We're going to get a TE. I wonder if he will be an upgrade over the current mess at the position. It would free up Beckham since defenders would have to worry about the middle of the field, and if he could block as well as catch, aid the running game as well.
NJ.com wonders what Bennett would cost, which was a great FA signing but incredible blunder to let go.
Speaking of the running game, I think that if Williams got 25 carries a game, they would be a much better team, and he would wear down defenses for Jennings an Vereen.
Glauber has a report that the Giants are hopeful that JPP could play the last four games. Based on nothing, I think he will play 8.
