This was always going to be a difficult week and to be honest I never saw us beating the Giants. Certainly not in New York and doubly so in week 1. However, I was pleasantly surprised with some of the play. The offense always seems to take a game to get into their stride, so I expect better next week. Not just because it’s the Rams visiting either.

My three favourite moments:

  • Campbell to Chris Cooley for a touchdown.
  • The fake field goal for a run and touchdown. If for no other reason than the look on Tom Coughlin‘s face which said “Oh for ****’s sake, they didn’t just do that!”
  • Santana Moss. Who needs a helmet? Give that corner hell, son.

    • Finally, in the spirit of non-partisanship: As much as he’s The Enemy, it was really good to see Osi Umenyiora playing and enjoying himself. Whilst I’d have prefered him to be a little less, you know, good, it was still great. His strip from Jason Campbell, recovery and subsequent run for a touchdown was fairy-tale stuff and I wish him well for the rest of the season.
