The Same Eli (with pass protection) and shame on Phil Simms


The Giants protected Eli and he showed what he can do. The quarterback Simms places above Eli did not do well without pass protection. So shame on you Phil. Eli is elite. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/phil-simms-eli-manning-isn-t-elite-doesn-001700493--nfl.html On the whole the Giants looked terrific. Webster got me worried with his allowing a long touchdown again but he quickly retained his stature with some great plays. Nicks still gives a great effort despite being hurt. Cruz is still great tho he has to make sure he has the ball before he runs. Randall is an emerging star and Wilson will show what he can do next week. Offensive line was back in form and the d was fabulous. I think the storm has a lot to do with the Giants being distracted, besides Cincy being better than most realize. Pierre was great as usual with Osi making that great play. The Giants are back. Watch out. Say you're sorry Phil!!!

Protect Manning and Start Wilson


Already the pundits are saying what's wrong with Manning. No touchdown passes in so many games. Well duh. How many quarterbacks can pass without protection. Look at Michael Vick after he lost his all pro lineman? Neither did the great Y.A. Tittle do well when the Eagles sent the whole team on blitzes. Likewise with Payton when the Steelers and Chargers blitzed him a few years ago. Sure some of the receivers are missing routes or not adjusting. But without protection or a good running game, passing will be tough. At any rate time to start Wilson.

Steeler secondary seemed to figure out Giants passing game.


Steeler secondary seemed to figure out Giants playbook. Interesting that the coaches did not figure it out. The Steelers were aggressive and, contrary to some press accounts, got away with a lot of fouls. One can blame this on Sandy, but the last three weeks have shown the passing game to be weak. Part of that has to do with the lack of a running game. Bradshaw may be an adequate back. But he seems to have lost a step. Wilson deserves more staps, along with Brown. Gotta get the running game going. Special teams was a disaster for the Giants. Credit the defense for bailing them out. The defense got tired at the end with the offense giving them no rest with the numerous three and outs. They need to put in a good work week and learn from this.
