Giants 44 Raiders 7
The Giants are 5-0 for the first time since 1990. Eli Manning’s heel injury did not stop him from throwing 173 yards in the first half alone or break his now 83 consecutive starts. Ahmad Bradshaw had a field day with two touchdowns and 110 yards on 11 carries. Jacobs wasn’t far behind with 67 yards on 21 carries. For the receivers, Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham had a touch down each which isn’t too impressive since Steve Smith seemed to be always under double coverage. Although, this double coverage did not stop him from getting 70 yards on only three catches. Sinorice Moss must stop returning punts; he simply does not have the acceleration let alone the brains. This game would have been 44-0 if it weren’t for Moss’s punk mistake. On to the giants defense…. Simply perfect. These guys weren’t even giving Oakland a first down before the Raiders needed to punt. And the better news is that this squad will be twice as good once everyone (Aaron Ross, Chris Canty) are healthy again.
Oakland just has too many problems. They weren’t running the ball when they needed to, and leaving the game in the hands of quarterback JaMarcus Russell is simple silly. “J-Russ” simply makes me gag. This “Stud” wears “bling” on the field. Is this guy a rapper or a professional athlete? JaMarcus’ beer belly needs to go too, but will continue flopping around as long as J-Russ feels the need to party. On to Russell’s actual performance in the game… well, he stinks. Don’t get me wrong the man’s got a cannon. Although this cannon must have been made in the dark ages by a drunken blacksmith considering how inaccurate J-Russ throws. Oakland is a mess in general and I need my G-Men to play a good team before I have to start watching the Jets due to boredom.
