Week 1 Vs. Arizona: 42 points. 2 kick returns for TD, one 21 yd. TD drive.
Week 2 Vs. NO (on the road
): 27 pts. 10 yd TD drive, a 41 yd TD drive, and SIX Saint TOs.
Week 3 Vs. SD: 23 points. They got killed, and one 34 yd. TD drive.
Week 4 Vs. STL: 44 points. STL had 5 TOs, 1 TD drive of 23 yds. NY actually had a few long drives in this game, so they did move the ball pretty well. Still, 5 TOs.
To me it's pretty clear what happened in each game. The 2 kick returns are really what makes the score so high in the AZ game. Without those it's merely 28-19. They also had a very short TD drive in there as well. The offense wasn't all world.
Against NO, the Saints just flat out played like crap, and even fumbled the opening kickoff at their own 10 yd line. Easy score for the Giants, add in another short drive, and all those TOs, with that many chances of course you're gonna get some points.
Against SD, there really isn't much to say. They got spanked pretty bad, and some of the points they did get were on a pretty short drive.
Against STL, they moved the ball well, and sustained a few long drives and scored well. But STL's defense sucks, and they also coughed the ball up 5 times. Another very short drive resulting in a TD.
For the most part it wasn't the offense putting up a ton of points and moving the ball up and down the field. It was a lot of TO's in 2 games (the Giants had no advantage in either the AZ, or SD game) resulting in some short drives, and some good special team plays, added in to playing some pretty sloppy teams with poor defense. They obviously will not stay at this scoring level for long, and starting tomorrow their average will drop like a rock.
