Giants Move to 2-0

The Giants just beat the Saints 16-13 without scoring on Offense. As preposterous as that sounds, it was even more preposterous to see.  OBJ dropped two TD passes he had to catch.  Cruz was mugged at the goal line: no call.  And they kept trying to run with Vereen down there.   Also, at one point in the first half, the Giants turned the ball over three times in a row on fumbles by Jennings, Cruz and Vereen.   So the big play of the game was made by Janoris Jenkins who scooped and scored a 64 yard TD off a blocked FG.  He also made some plays all over the field.

The defense was impressive for most of the game, though they started to give up chunks toward the end.  They could really turn into something special if they can avoid injuries.

Apple, Shepard and Thompson continued to impress, with Sterling going for 8 and 117.   Cruz did set up the winning FG with an heroic catch he had to battle for at the 2, but was also fouled a lot and had the fumble. OBJ had a bunch of catches, but the two drops and also drew 2 PI's.   He's so much better than that.  Once all three are fully activated, we won't have to worry about scoring and might even start throwing the ball more.

Big win.  Have to be the rascists from Washington next week.
