NY Giants - Raiders Post Game Wrap Up

Looking back on this game there is not one surprise that came from it. The only thing I can say is that the Giants know how to handle their class=”hiddenSpellError” pre=”their “>buisness. I came away with the following, after the Giants’s 44-7 defeat of the Oakland Raiders.


Positive

• Eli Manning had a perfect quarterback rating after completing 8 of 10 passes for 173 yards and 2 touchdowns. He was so good the Giants were able to take him out before the first half ended. I know many were concerned about how well he would play injured and he was able to calm Giants fans nerves.  
• Ahmad Bradshaw may be the best running back the Giants have after running for 110 yards on 11 carries and 2 touchdowns. He has the explosiveness and strength to bust through almost any defense right now. He also added 1 catch that went for 55 yards.  
• Steve Smith, Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks all displayed once again how consistent and talented they are with a combined 9 catches for 155 yards.  
• Darcy Johnson did a great job filling in for Kevin Boss with 3 catches for 26 yards. Travis Beckum added 2 catches for 12 yards. Beckum is a good young talent that will evolve into a nice weapon as time goes on.  
• Lawrence Tynes went 3 for 3 on his field goal attempts. Only if he can be consistent every week.  
• Justin Tuck – 6 tackles, 2 sacks and a forced fumble. Do I need to say anything else?  
• The defense as whole had a great game with 6 sacks and 3 forced fumbles. It looked like the Raiders’s offense gave up after the first quarter.  

Negative 

• No interceptions, i know im being picky.  
• Sinorice Moss needs to stop returning kicks. It is time to put Domenik Hixon back at returning punts and kickoffs. Hixon is more valuable as a return man then a receiver.  
• Brandon Jacobs - I know myself and everyone else is wondering what happened to the Brandon Jacobs of the past two seasons.
