He hasn't been great. But he went into Dallas and threw for 312 and 4TDs before going down. I think the rest of the NFC East is fortunate he's gonna miss some time. To say you wish he would play over Jared Lorenzen or some other guy off the street doesn't make sense to me.

PFT, while stressing it is a rumor, reports it could be a season ending deal. Didn't look that bad to me but who knows.

Just for the record, there are no easy wins in the NFL. I promise you, whomever the Giants line up against us it won't be a blow out.

I think even if Manning can return this season, it probably really is a season ending deal for him. That thing will never heal properly until he gets into off season and fully rehab.

I don't think Leftwich is good fit for the Giants anyway, he's looking for a long-term deal anyways.

In other news concerning the Skins: Mike Brown and Dvoracek, their start NT, are done for the year.

The whole thing about no easy wins I don't necessarily buy. The Steelers, Patriots, and Colts all absolutely waxed their opponents week 1. I don't think any of those players would publicly say they were easy wins, but come on...

True, but that's not what I'm really getting at. Even in a blow out though, the winning team usually plays an exceptionally excuted game plan or the other team gave them a ton of turnovers. You might see the Colts beat a team the way they beat the Saints one more time this year - maybe. And I'll be if they played the Saints three times within a season, you wouldn't get those results. The Colts were firing on all cylinders and the Saints were a tad bit flat and out of sync. Taking nothing from Indy though.

What I am getting at is just because these injuries are taking their toll on the Giants doesn't mean they're going to roll over for the Redskins and decided they're a last place team...and it damn sure doesn't make it a cake walk. Teams are going to have to beat the hell out of the Giants now. Any coach will tell you they are more afraid of playing these type of teams, than one that are probably a little more predictable in terms of personnel.

We should have an easier time against the Giants considering their starting quarterback, running back, and Pro Bowl defensive end are gonna be out. I don't wish injury on anyone, but we need to take advantage of this. Another big injury that could help us out next week is Lito Sheppard, he's already been declared out for the game with a sprained MCL.

[RMSkins]

Well it looks like we get the Giants without Eli, and Jacobs. Sounds good to me.

first i dont want to celebrate the giants getting injured, especially after what happened to the te in buffalo. but secondly on nfl live a while ago i think john clayton was the one who said the skins would hold on to brunell for the season to start because if a qb went down they could get a lot more for him... this is probably the only case i would want to trade inside the division

thoughts??

What can the Giants offer us? I don't think we should trade Brunell to anyone in our division or conference. It's too bad the Giants just lost three starters, but it's not our problem. And we're not here to help them

There is zero chance we trade a QB to a division foe simply because his insight into our offense would too great. I doubt we deal Brunell anyways but it certainly won't happen to anyone we end up playing later on.

Speaking of players who are out, cornerback Lito Sheppard of the Eagles will miss next week's game:

I want to thank all of you out there for your concern on Eli,what will most likely happen is resign Hasselbeck and L-Load will start.Eli was playing well in the game I believe had we not got decimated by the injuried the pukes would have lost.:smashfrea

This may sound strange but I'm pissed that Brandon Jacobs will be out...I was looking forward to seeing him and Sean go at it, those two really don't like each other.

Jacobs could also be seen howling at Washington safety Sean Taylor. Jacobs said after the game Taylor warned him, "You'd better protect yourself" the next time they tangled.
"He throws his whole body out there like he's got another one in the closet," Jacobs said. "I don't see myself taking one of those hits. I respect his game. The NFL needs safeties like him, the way he hits, it sets the tone. Me, myself, I'm not going to allow the tone to get set by him hitting me like that." Jacobs also accused the Redskins of spitting at him last year and of twisting ankles and hitting in the groin whenever they get the chance. "Those kind of things," he said.
