You can’t win ’em all

The Giants got beat Sunday. Plain and simple. No excuses, they just got outplayed. A 48-27 thrashing at the hands of the Saints.

Big Blue gave up 315 total yards in the first half alone. Manning looked like shit and the running game couldn’t get going. Aside from a few plays here and there, the G-Men looked like trash. The secondary got beat up like a red-headed stepchild and the outcome was never in doubt. The Saints had their way with the Giants and it reminded me of the Cell Phone Game with Joe Horn a few years back. That sucked.

I guess that’s what happens when you play a real team.

At the very least they didn’t give up more  points than the Iggs did against NO in Week 2 and scored five more points than the dog killers did. That doesn’t mean shit, but at least I don’t have to hear anything from those low-lives known as Philadelphians.

There were (very few) positives I took from that ass-raping:

• It’s good to have Hixon back (hadn’t played since Week 2), that return set up the Manningham score. Again, it doesn’t mean much but at least it’s something.
• The Giants kind of responded in the second quarter with the pair of TDs, but it seemed like they gave up in the third frame. I think it could have been a different outcome if not for that Eli fumble at the very end of the half. (I realize that’s like saying: “If my sister had a cock she’d be my brother,” but hey you have to find positives in games like that)

• The receivers looked decent; Nicks had 114 yds with a TD, Manningham had a TD.

The bottom line is that the Giants have to step it up in the next few weeks:  vs. Arizona; @Philly; vs. San Diego before they head into the bye. If they go 0-3 in those tilts it could change the face of the season. Please G-men, sac up!!!
