The Giants D is terrible. They have no pass rush and can't stop the run. Even the Cards threw the ball on them. Eli still has a long way to go IMO before he's a force, so I'm not worried about it this year.
You probably didn't watch the Giants-Cardinals game, which is understandable considering it was on at the same time as the Cowboys game.
You did a pretty good job of contradicting yourself though. Eli's performance last night wasn't impressive because it's easier to pass when you're getitng blown out, but then when the Giants are blowing out the Cardinals, suddenly that means the Giants pass D stinks?
No Pass rush? Michael Strahan? 2.5 sacks in 3 games already, holds the sack record for a season. Osi Umenyiora on the other end is emerging as a good pass rusher as well, with 7 sacks last year in his 2nd year, and 2 already this year. He played opposite DeMarcus Ware at Troy State and in HS. The Giants had 7 sacks in the first two weeks of the season, same as us. They didn't get any sacks against the Chargers bascially because of the way the Chargers played. The passing game wasn't really used, and when it was, it was quick drops. Brees attempted 22 passes against them, 35 against us. We had 2 sacks on Brees.
Eli basically beat us last year, and he's been impressive this year outside the Cardinals game, not sure why he still has a long way to go to scare you.
