Giants Have the Most Complete Offense in the NFL

Through the first few weeks of the NFL season the Giants are proving each week that they may obtain the most complete and dangerous offense in the NFL.  Below are where the Giants rank in the NFL in offense.

Total Offense: 6th
Rushing Offense: 8th
Passing Offense: 10th

My opinion is not based on their rankings above.  But rather the weapons they possess and how they have used them to be able to win their first three games of the season.

Week 1 vs. Washington Redskins

• In week one the Giants were able to defeat the Redskins with a balanced attack of run and pass.  They ran for a total of 106 yards and passed for 256 yards.  The Skin's challenged them early to pass and the Giants were able to take what was given to them by throwing the ball.

Week 2 at Dallas Cowboys

• When the Giants went into Dallas,  the Cowboys were determined to not let them run. aThey were able to totally shut the Giants ground game down in the first half.  In order to stay in the game Eli Manning had to use his young receivers to move the chains and score points.  The Giants finished with 97 yards rushing and 330 yards passing.  In the end if came down to Manning moving the ball through the air in the last two minutes to overcome the Cowboys.

Week 3 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

• The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were forced to respect the Giants passing attack and leave their safeties deep which opened up the run game and allowed the Giants to rack up 226 rushing yards.  The giants threw for a total of 171 yards.  With the rise of the passing game, things on the ground are startnig to wake up.

It makes a huge difference when teams respect the passing game of the Giants.  Over the first three weeks we have been able to see the different ways opponents have played the Giants and it seems to me that no matter how teams play them,  it will be difficult to stop this offense led my Eli Manning. 

In the end teams will have to pick their poison because whether it is through the air or on the ground the Giants will continue to be highly effective.
