That was not a loss to Favre. Favre played like donkey (nice, OYC) with the exception of two plays (if you watched, you know what I mean). It was clear the Packers gameplan was to shut down Westbrook (which they did) and make McNabb beat them with his arm or legs (which he really didn't, surprising because Donny's owned the Pack, not surprising because of Packers front 7).

It would have helped if Bubba Franks gets cut too.

Agreed. The people in the control booth must have thought it particularly clever to make it look as if Siragusa was standing directly behind Brett Favre during one particular play. At one point I thought Favre would turn around and yell, "Tony, do you mind shutting the hell up? I'm trying to call a play here!"

]]> <![CDATA[NFL Week One Roundup Of Random Notes And Bullet Points, As Is The Style]]> Okay, so it's clear that the Giants can't cover anybody. We suspected as much. What we didn't expect was an anemic pass rush. WTF, Spagnuolo?!?

And I know one game doesn't provide enough evidence to support any definitive statements, but if Eli can post a few consecutive games like the one he played last night, I think he'll be silencing a whole lot of haters, including many that frequent this website.

Jacobs MCL sprain is clearly a concern, as is Umenyiora's knee, though X-rays came back negative. No need to get overly concerned until we learn the results of the MRIs.

As for Manning's injury, I'm sure he's fine.

If he were really injured, do you think the Giants doctors and coaches would have let him go back into the game or hang around on the sidelines?

Hell no. He'd be in the locker room getting x-rayed and treated immediately.

They took him out of the game as a precaution.

He's fine.

In fact, he's more than fine. He's a superstar quarterback.

Also, i'm not sure if Steven Jackson got the memo, but the object of the game is to hold on to the football, not drop it everytime someone touches you. Maybe i'm old fashioned, but I find fumbling the ball away to not be the most effective way to win a game.
