Well, that was fun. If only every game was like this…<\/p>\n
(Maybe it is, if you’re a Colts fan).<\/p>\n
These were the Giants I remember. The swarming aggressive D, the sacks, the knockdowns, the hurries, the interceptions, runners tackled at the line of scrimmage. And on offense, long time-consuming drives ending in touchdowns. Eli looked terrific, spreading the ball around. Nicks, Smith, Manningham, and Boss all had big catches, and even Derek Hagan scored a touchdown. The running game was back, especially when Ahmad Bradshaw had the ball. The O line opened gaping holes, and the D line was so relentless that our wafer-thin secondary was never threatened.<\/p>\n
Yeah, these were the real G-Men.<\/p>\n
I have no idea who those clowns in the Redskins uniforms were.<\/p>\n
That fake field goal the Skins tried at the end of the first half had to be one of the most bizarre plays I’ve ever seen. Watching Steve Young talk about it in the postgame was hilarious.<\/p>\n
I do feel sorry for Jim Zorn, whose postgame press conference was… well, obviously, no one ever taught the guy Coachspeak. Poor guy is not long for D.C.<\/p>\n
But it was a great win.<\/p>\n
Now we need two more like it, coupled with a Cowboys loss.<\/p>\n
(Or a Packers loss, maybe… but while I know the G-Men have the tiebreaker over Dallas, no one has ever mentioned who wins a tie between New York and Green Bay).<\/p>\n
Next week, the Panthers. Who beat the Vikings yesterday. Let’s hope the real G-Men show up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
