End of First, Giants 3-0

November

No matter what happens, the Giants come out of this game with a major loss. Mathias Kiwanuka broke his left fibula when Osi Umenyiora rolled on his ankle on the second play from scrimmage and will no doubt miss the rest of the season.

Reggie Torbor has taken his place on the strong side, but the pass rush is definitely going to suffer the rest of today. Justin Tuck has put the only real pressure on Jon Kitna so far, but they’re going to have to start hitting him regularly if they expect to keep him from hitting the 20-plus-yard throws he made to Roy Williams and Shaun McDonald on back-to-back plays.

Brandon Jacobs looks good, but Eli Manning is shaky. And somebody on the Giants’ sideline isn’t awake, considering they’ve already been penalized once for too many men in the huddle and once for an illegal formation.

Basically, Giants are lucky to be out in front right now.

Ciao for now.
