The Giants finally get a win. A good one too since it was in the division. Although I was not overly impressed with the defense, it DEFINITELY looked better than the first 2 games. The defense seemed to click a little better and pretty much covered assignments from what I could see on TV.

While I am not yet convinced the Giants defense is back, I do have to congratulate that FANTASTIC goal-line stand. 3 times they kept Campbell and the Redskins from tying the game. That showed heart and guts to me! Maybe the whipped puppies got some of that fight back! (Pleeeeze, this is not a reference to the Michael Vick story! That was despicable!)

The offense continued clicking after a not so good first half. Plaxico Burress dropped what, 5 passes? I lost count so I’m not sure. In the second half he did catch 5 passes and one was the game winner.

Eli Manning had the 2 picks. That’s ok since he was able to overcome them and complete 21 of 36 with that big td to Plaxico Burress! So far it looks like Eli is comfortable this year in his leadership role. He has been moving the offense and scoring points. Something the Giants have needed!

Derek Ward is not Tiki Barber. From what I have seen so far, he is a work-hoarse. Derek has been able to move the ball and gain yardage when he gets the ball. 26 for 94 is not Tiki, it shows he can take the carries and get yardage.

Waiting until next week to provide a more in depth analysis. We have the Eagles to contend with next.
