NFL Recap

 

That was probably the worst game to open a season in recent years.  The game was so one sided it was like watching USC against Virginia.  The Giants came out on fire with Eli connecting Plaxico down the field on almost every pass play. They later scored on a 1 yard TD run by Manning.  The Giants had everything working for them in the first half on offense and defense.  The Giants defense held the Redskins to total of 11 first downs and 206 total yards.  The Giants looked sloppy on offense in the second half but they still won.  Eli had his typical game completing less than 50% and a pick, and scored a touchdown.  The man of the night was Plaxico who seemed was open every time Eli threw it to him.  I have no idea why the offense got so conservative it looked like they were gonna blow the Redskins out, but a win is a win. 

The Redskins looked like absolute trash last night they looked like they didn’t now what they were doing, and again no confidence in their offense.  It was absolutely putrid, they didn’t get a completion until late in the first half, when they had that touchdown drive.  Also one of the worst coaching displays I have seen, how in God’s green Earth you do not go with a no huddle down by 2 scores with 5 minutes left.  That means, either they do not know the offense well enough to have one or Zorn has no idea what he is doing.  Zorn has been in the league for some time now so it is hard to believe he didn’t know what to do in that situation.  Anybody with half the football knowledge would know to run a no huddle with 5 minutes left and 2 scores down, and a 2 minute offense when down 2 scores.  Honestly it looks like Zorn bit off more than he can chew.  This could be another Petrino walk out, or early release cause that was terrible football last night.  If this is what to come, even though it is early the Skins look like a 5-11 team.

The Giants ended out covering with a 16-7 win.
