NYG vs GB Recap

Big Win Comes With A Big Loss

Great win tonight. Defense played great, Eli was throwing darts all over the field, but we may have lost a key player for a while due to injury.

Andre Brown broke his fibula late in the game, Coughlin himself said the injury takes a lot from the win. The guy is an absolute workhorse out of the backfield. Perfect for goal line carries, barely ever goes down on first contact. His loss opens the door for David Wilson who got some reps at the end, garbage time no doubt, but nice to see him get reps.

Mentioned Rodgers being sacked the most out of any QB in the league going down 32 times this season, add another 5 onto that. The D-Line came to play tonight. The NASCAR package gave the GB line fits all night. Kiwi got in there multiple times, Rodgers was never settled in the pocket. Osi with the strip sack was huge. Saw a lot of press on the outside, Antrel being physical with Cobb all night in the slot.

That 3 safety look was nice as well. saw some 4 safety looks with Hill in there with the core 3. Knew Fewell would take advantage of this extra week. Kenny has a bruised meniscus on that same knee that has been bothering him. However, he said he feels alright and would have gone back in if the game was closer.

Corey Webster gave up that huge play to Nelson in the beginning but after that seemed to be okay. I would be interested to see how many big plays he has given up this year, guy needs to be a lot more consistent.

No Clay Matthews in there helped greatly as Eli had all day to throw. No Woodson or Shields is practically an early Christmas gift for Eli and the gang. The Cruz drop in the beginning had me questioning his toughness yet again, footsteps seemed to have rattled him. After that though, he was the Cruz we know.

Nicks looked close to 100%. Some plays he could have put more effort into but 5 for 77 and 1 is just fine with me. 

Eli Manning, just slide man. I love to see the toughness out of a QB but we have seem time after time Eli fumbling trying to dive for extra yards. Lowering the shoulder is not Eli's forte. Huge night through the air though 249 and 3 looks like the Superbowl MVP Eli.

It's interesting, a fully healthy Bradshaw scores on that screen play.  But again, 58 and 1 is fine as long as the passing game is going. Brown with 64 and 1 will be greatly missed.

Coaches love Rueben Randle, and I have started to see why. Kid has got some skills out there. That hook he ran then broke a few tackles, a few jukes thrown in, fun to watch and will be huge down the stretch.

Again, with Eli having a clear head on his shoulders, and the defense playing up to their potential, this is a scary team. We can not get too cocky with this W though. We have RG3 next and he may be the scariest QB we play all year. Beat him the first time around, gotta do it again.

 PS - A fan fell out of the stands into the tunnel while the Giants were going to the locker room. Apparently the Black Unicorn caught him. Bennett is fine, fan was dragged out.
