Yes I went to the game Sunday night to watch Peyton spank his baby brother and the Giants. I was just so annoyed with the parking debacle at Giants Stadium that I was in no mood to write about it.
The Colts offensive looked good. The Giants offense looked ok. The Giants defense was a big disappointment other than the one big turnover opportunity they supplied which, unfortunately, the offense turned right back over to the Colts. The officials refereeing the game should probably get hit in the head with semi-limp noodles. I’ve probably seen worse calls by officials but off-hand I can’t remember when.
The NFL wants parity. This makes sense because it makes more of the games exciting and keeps the playoff races going almost invariably until the last week of the season. This keeps the television audiences glued to their chairs and the revenues flowing. One unfortunate side effect however is that the officiating can loom large in more games. I wonder how many games are ultimately decided by the officials rather than the teams?
Anyway, the Colts handled the Giants 26-21 and the Giants now head down the turnpike to Philadelphia where they rarely have much luck. An 0-2 season start is more than likely.
