Hold the casket, cancel the flowers, the Giants aren’t dead yet. Faced with a 17-3 halftime deficit, the Giants showed a lot of heart and some very good defense for a change as they rallied to win 24-17.
And it really was the defense that led the way. Washington only managed 83 yards of offense in the second half, and the New York defense made stops when it mattered, none more so than the final drive. After a great punt return, Washington had the ball on the New York 35 with just over two minutes remaining. Three pass plays brought them to the one-yard line with just under a minute and no timeouts. After a clock-stopping spike and an incomplete pass, Ladell Betts tried to run left two times and was stuffed, giving New York the win.
Now, the Giants can prepare for the Eagles and we can try and figure out just what this team is. Their first two opponents, Dallas and Green Bay are both 3-0, which could indicate that New York has faced tougher competition than we originally thought. On the other hand, the pass defense still has to show it can defend against a good quarterback and with Donovan McNabb coming off a 381-yard/4 TD day, it will get that chance Sunday Night.

upping the sports coverage on gothamist with two seperate football posts? weren't both of these games covered in last night's wrap-up?
slow news day?
Don't get your hopes up New York. The Giants aren't that good. The Redskins are just that bad. The Skins were one of the worst 2-0 teams coming into week 3, and they proved it yesterday in the second half.

HOW ABOUT REPORTING ON THE SLAUGHTER THAT MAY HAPPEN AT ANY MOMENT IN BURMA????????
Yeah, the Giants are still shitty, it's just that the Redskins are more shitty.

Football is just way too gay.
# 55 is really intent on grabbing some balls as he pretends to be interested in the actual football.
HOW BOUT DEM COWBOYS!!!
How about them Burmastica's?
No matter how bad the Giants are, they can always count on a trip to the Redskins to make things better for them. Too bad they can't play at FedEx Field every week.
I don't give a shit about people living in New Jersey. How am I suppose to be concerned about people living in Burma?
The Giants defense isn't as good as it was yesterday, and it isn't as bad as it was in the first 2 games of the season. I think they'll give up anywhere from 17-27 points per game most of the season. And I think the offense is good enough to at least make that an 8-8 season. Certainly not great, but better than most people thought after weeks 1 and 2.
