The Giants outplayed the Jets for the most part but they still lost the battle of New Jersey on Saturday Night.  Eli Manning had a rough night completing 9 of 21 passes for 91 yards with 1 TD and 1 interception.  David Carr almost brought the Giants all the way back in this game with a outstanding effort.  Carr completed 12 of 17 passes for 181 yards with 2 TD passes in this game.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 20 yards (10.0 ypc).  Ahmad Bradshaw led the way on the ground for the Giants in this game with 47 yards on 8 carries (5.9 ypc).  Danny Ware was also solid carrying the ball 9 times for 43 yards (4.8 ypc).  Rookie WR Hakeem Nicks had a monster game for the Giants catching 6 passes for 144 yards (24.0 avg) with 2 TD grabs (22 and 71 yards).  Mario Manningham was efficient in this game catching 4 passes for 41 yards (10.3 avg).  The Giants finished up with 379 total yards in this game (134 rushing, 245 passing).

LB Chase Blackburn led the way for the Giants in this game with 6 tackles.  The Jets finished up with 314 total yards in this game (99 rushing, 215 passing).

The Giants laid an egg last Saturday Night in Chicago.  Eli Manning started this game at QB and he was 7 of 10 for 62 yards passing.  David Carr made a quick exit after completing only 2 of 6 passes for 8 yards.  Andre Woodson finished up in this game by completing 7 of 16 passes for 95 yards.  Ahmad Bradshaw led the way on the ground for the Giants in this game with 54 yards rushing on 6 carries (9.0 ypc).  Danny Ware was also busy in this game with 34 yards rushing on 8 carries (4.3 ypc) and he also caught 4 passes for 30 yards (7.5 avg).  Rookie WR Hakeem Nicks only caught 1 pass in this game but it was a good one (55-yarder).  The Giants finished up this game with only 259 total yards on offense (119 rushing, 140 passing).

Safety C.C. Brown led a poor effort by the Giants’ defense in this game with 8 tackles.  The Bears finished up with 372 total yards on offense (150 rushing, 222 passing) and the Giants need to do better than that on defense.

The Giants have placed rookie RB Andre Brown on the Injured Reserve List due to a ruptured Achilles Tendon.  Brown was a 4th round pick out of North Carolina State who was going to battle Danny Ware for the #3 RB job during the 2009 season.  But, both Brown and the Giants will have to wait until 2010 to see what he can do on the field.

The Giants kept plugging along in this game before winning on the last play of it thanks to a fumble return for a TD by DE Tommie Hill.  Eli Manning made a very brief appearance in this game completing 2 of 3 passes for 31 yards.  David Carr was up next and he was solid completing 6 of 10 passes for 74 yards with a TD.  Andre Woodson had a rough time in this game completing 5 of 11 passes for 45 yards with 1 interception.  Rookie Rhett Bomar completed both of his pass attempts for 21 yards in his NFL debut.  Allen Patrick led the way for the Giants in the running game with 36 yards rushing on 8 carries (4.5 ypc).  Ahmad Bradshaw was his usual stellar self carrying the ball 5 times for 35 yards (7.0 ypc) with a TD run.  He also caught 2 passes for 17 yards.  Brandon Jacobs was also outstanding carrying the ball 4 times for 31 yards (7.8 ypc) and catching a pass for 13 yards.  Danny Ware only rushed for 21 yards on 12 carries (1.8 ypc) but he also caught 2 passes for 43 yards (21.5 avg) with a TD grab.  The Giants finished up with only 279 yards of offense in this game (139 rushing, 140 passing) but it was enough to win the game and that’s what you play for.

CB Travonti Johnson led the way for the Giants’ defense in this game with 7 tackles.  But, DE Tommie Hill was the hero in this game despite only making 1 tackle and he returned a fumble 18 yards for a TD on the last play of the game.  The Panthers finished up with only 276 yards of total offense (124 rushing, 152 passing) so the Giants’ D looked pretty decent.
