Back at home with the NFL. But weekends like this wear me out.

The Jets game was a horror. Bad enough that they lost to a mediocre Miami team they should have dominated. It was how they lost. Sanchez seems to have reverted to his rookie ways, throwing INTs every time he had the ball. Santonio dropped a sure TD. I think the Patriots game has robbed Gang Green of their mojo, which does not bode well for the remainder of the season, with the Steelers and the Bears coming up. I am starting to have flashbacks to the great collapse of ’86. Rex, Rex, work your magic, I can’t take that again.

As for Big Blue, well, the Giants thumped a lifeless Vikings team playing without Brett Favre. The defense and the running game looked good. Eli, not so much. Two terrible INTs right out of the box. And now we have to play the Eagles on a short week. We haven’t beaten the Eagles in what seems like decades. Time to end that streak. But if Eli keeps throwing the ball to guys in the wrong color jersey, it won’t be easy.

I don’t want to talk about it…

… except to say that Evil Little Bill showed once again what a vile thing he is. The guy has no concept of the meaning of “sportsmanship.” He’s a great coach, can’t deny that, but he’s also a nasty piece of work.

Kicking ass and taking names!

(Of course, it was only the Potomac Drainage Basin Indiginous Persons. Gets tougher the next three weeks. And that interception by Eli was worrisome. A lot of his INTs this season have not been his fault; he’d put the ball right on the receiver’s hands, only to have it bounce off into the hands of a defender. But that endzone INT was insane. He threw right into the middle of three defenders).

The running game looked great. And Derek Hagen stepped up big. I still want my Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks back, though.

Jason Pierre-Paul is starting to show why the Giants drafted him. Good pick. Especially if Kiwi can’t come back from his neck injury.
