It's pathetic but I've had the week from hell and it comes down to a football game to catch a smile, and my team didn't disappoint me. Looks like a new era for Big Blue.

yup, that was a perfect drive and perfect defensive stand.

Eli and Plaxico are working like a fine Swiss timepiece. Plax had a head of steam up on that drive. They all did. Bruisers.

Another catch. They are unstoppable.

Eli Manning has really stepped up. And to think in the middle of last season I said he didn't have the personality to ever lead his team to a SB.

But it could be 21 to zip, so they were stopped. I don't like blowouts. I want to see Washington make a game of it.

Don't you think they're helping him out enough already?

To tell the truth, I think the democratic dream team could use a thirty second time out because they look like they're cramping up :o)

Well, I like blowouts when it's the Giants doing the blowing out.  They fizzled at the end of the half.

Unfortunaely there's a Washington fan in my house. Has been for over twenty years. So I don't get to enjoy a blowout properly.
