Some thoughts on the game

[tecolote]

Greg Ellis was missed today, we got absolutely no pressure on Manning.

Not a good game by Tony, but I just knew he would pull it off in the end, it was not his best performance but maybe his most satisfying.

Marion Barber is a top 10 redzone RB.

Miles Austin deserves some props, he gets past the 30 on every return it seems.

The Giants played their best, we did not, we won.

TO needs to stop dropping passes, he is a playmaker don´t get me wrong, but those drops cost points.

Great win today, I love blowouts, but wins like this put an extra hop in my step.

Agree wholeheartedly.

Marion Barber is a top 10 redzone RB.

Like BP says, he has a nose for the endzone.

Yep, he's filled in for Tyson Thompson very well.

Seems we hurt ourselves in our pass rush by asking Ware to help cover backs coming out of the back field instead of using Ware to get the QB. Ware is that good of athlete that he can do both.

We do not blitz often due to having to help the FS.

In the 3-4, you need 2 pass rushing LBs to be good at getting the QB.

Austins numbers are almost identical to thompsons, I believe austin now has 10 returns and he has been averaging almost 25 yards a return.

Pretty good stuff.

With Ellis out for the year, not sure what we can do about that other pass rushing LB for this season.

Maybe Carp will start to make some serious progress? Wishful thinking on my part, but unless another player on our current roster steps up this year, we'll have to resolve this issue next off-season/Draft.

By far the biggest concern I have for our team. We can't go into the playoffs without a better pass rush. Lil' Manning had all day.

He's #1 in the NFC...

The Giants were missing 3 starters.

Neither team played anywhere close to their best.

It´s the best they have played in more than a month, by far.
