Tuesdays Are Annoying...

especially for Giants fans today. Many football teams get the next day off after a win. I expect the Giants to have very few days off until the end of the season. Terrible does not begin to describe how they looked last night. Despite his two interceptions, Eli Manning (and new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo) cannot take all the blame here. The Giants receivers looked terrible. Dropped passes, pour rout running and not reading Manning's hand signals were a huge factor in the game their offensive inefficiency.

Nothing should be taken away from the Lions. Matt Stafford picked apart the Giants secondary all night and Calvin Johnson showed why he is probably the best WR in the league. Their defense took way too many bad penalties, but in this case, the Giants really failed to capitalize.



In the late game, Arizona managed to pull out the win, coming from behind in the fourth quarter. Carson Palmer did enough to lead the Cardinals to a win, despite targeting Larry Fitzgerald (1 catch, 22 yards) on only several plays. Fitzgerald and Richard Sherman can likely take a nap on the field together when they face each other later this year.

The Chargers looked surprisingly flat on offense. Perhaps it was the Cardinals secondary, but the Chargers WR's just looked like they were playing for the Giants. Maybe Rivers and Manning might like to swap teams again?
