Broncos at Giants

Seems like forever since I’ve been to a game but it was worth the wait. You get a game like Sunday’s once in a blue moon so it’s usually a good idea to enjoy the win, especially after having one go the other way against Dallas.

The 4th quarter was something of a wild ride as the Giants pulled it out with 5 seconds left on a 2 yard pass from Manning to Amani Toomer. It was also Toomer that caught the pass when the Giants knocked off the undefeated Broncos a few years ago.

The NFC East is shaping up to be a really weird one this year. If Dallas had won Sunday, they would have been in first place at 5-2. Since they lost, they’re in last place at 4-3. I’m still betting on Philadelphia to take the marbles in the division.

Now for the grades.

Offense: Good
Overall I can’t really fault the guys too much. The offense was a little sluggish but came through big time late in the game with 2 TDs.

Defense: Good
The defense was soft as usual, but somehow managed to stiffen just enough to keep the game close. A big stop resulting in a missed 45 yard field goal by the Broncos in the 4th quarter after Manning gave up an interception turned out to be the turning point in the game.

Special Teams: Very Good
A 51 yard field goal by Feely, another solid punting job by Feagles, darn good coverages on the kicks and another solid game of kick returning from Ponder. This year, at least so far, I have nothing to cry about on special teams.
