I like this matchup for GB, because I think we will be able to pass on their secondary. On defense, Eli is not mobile at all, and I expect us to be able to get a pass rush just rushing the defensive linemen. I think we hit Eli a lot and get a couple picks. Granted, they do have a lot of talent on offense, but I think we just held a comparable (if not better). offense to 13 points yesterday.

Sounds like Jacobs is shaken up as well, that would be big.

2-0 would be great heading into the Chargers game, which IMO is a sure loss.

I can't wait to see how our defense looks against LT. No doubt the biggest test of the season.

Don't forget that the Giants had three injuries to star players in the Cowboys game. Eli Manning went down with bruised shoulder and needs an MRI. Brandon Jacobs and Osi Umenyiora both need tests on their knees, but it is known that Jacobs' problem is his MCL. The extent to all injuries is yet unknown. If 2 of these 3 guys are out, this game will be very tough for the Giants.

Even with those guys in you should be able to win. As long as you have a Safety to help cover Plexiglas, especially in the endzone.

Favre should have a good day because the Giants secondary and defensive play calling is horrendous.

Jacobs is out 3-5 weeks according to wiretap.

I was watching some of that game Cowboys Giants game last night and the Giants tackling is a joke,at least from the plays I seen I didn't watch the whole game.

The Giants to me look like your typical 6-10 type of team with a decent offense and a bad defense.

I'll be dissapointed if the Packers lose to the Giants although I expect another close game.

I expect a win, but it's going to be another close game if our offense can't figure out they're playing on offense and trying to score points.

Yea the offense has to pick it up,I don't think anyone was expecting a high powered offense or anything but I think they can play better than they did yesterday.Hopefully Jennings will be back and give them a boost.

Also maybe the Eagles have a better defense than we think.I have to admit the Eagles looked pretty solid on both sides of the ball yesterday.The fact the Packers found a way to win despite playing so poorly on offense agianst a team that might be pretty solid is a good sign though.

I'll be interested to see how the Eagles look next week vs the Redskins.

One side note how good would the Packers be this season if only we had the offense we had in 2003 to go with our current defense. :banghead:

Probably be the favorite to win it all.

RW McQuarters is a starting CB for the Giants. That is all.
