The Good
- Eli's passing is definitely improved. Thanks to the new QB coach. He had pass completions to Shockey, Burress, and Toomer. I am so happy to see Toomer back.
- Ward stepping in for Jacobs. He's not a tank but he has some speed.
- Closing the gap to a 1-point difference before the half was impressive.
- Al Michael's stating "The Giants are very resilient". Was that a compliment I heard?
The Bad
- Jacobs out for the rest of the game with a sprained knee.
- Zero pressure on Romo. Not too happy with Strahan missing pre-season. It does make a difference.
- Defense totally incapable of putting a stop to the Romo-Witten connection.
- Seeing the doctor check Eli's right shoulder when there is less than 5 to go! They're saying it's a bruised right shoulder. Ugh.
- Did I mention my disappointment with the defense? Only one sack - and not until the 3rd quarter?!?
The Ugly
- Bumbled attempt at the first opportunity for an extra point.
- Special teams #44 better hold on to that ball...
- Strahan's beard. Simms (mine) thinks it looks good. I'm not a fan
- 3 starters are injured. Injuries destroyed us last season.
The new season has begun and although I saw improvement in some areas (offense) we still ended the game with an "L". We'll see what next week holds...

I had no idea you were such a Monday morning (or afternoon) quarterback! How fun!
Oh I know the feeling.....I always hate when I stay up late to watch a game, knowing I will pay for it the next day....and my team loses!!! BTW, I'm a Redskins fan! And I hate Dallas! :)
Stephanie...yup, I can analyze just about anything. Do you do this with Penn State?
Sandy...so glad to hear you are a football fan too. The first game I ever watched was in middle school - Super Bowl with Redskins vs. Dolphins and I rooted for the Redskins. I liked Riggins. Jacobs reminded me of him last night...until he got injured.
And yet, they still looked better than the Eagles! It was a tough game, but they (in my between the pages of my book glimpses!!!) looked like they were playing well AS A TEAM - good connections and unity. Tough to start the season on a "L" but there's always next week. That's what keeps us coming back, again and again. That "you just never know!" spirit!!!!
