Redskins vs. Giants: Eli Manning is more clutch than RGIII in wild win for New York

Garcon was supposed to be the team’s No. 1 wideout, but he has appeared in just three games this season. He has caught three passes for 44 yards and no touchdowns since his big performance in the season opener. An 88-yard touchdown reception in Week 1 accounts for over half of his 153 yards receiving on the season.

Blogger UkRedskin of SB Nation’s Redskins blog Hogs Haven was proud of Griffin’s performance, but was disappointed in how the Redskins failed to protect the football all day long:

Making this even more disappointing is the fact that the Redskins had only turned the ball over five times all season heading into Sunday’s game.

New York has seen plenty of these late game comebacks from Manning before, but Ed Valentine of SB Nation’s Giants blog Big Blue View says that the Giants were fortunate to escape with a victory. Valentine lamented some questionable play-calling in the fourth quarter that helped the Redskins get back in the game:

Manning had a pretty poor day overall despite throwing for 337 yards and the late score. Both of his interceptions were terribly thrown balls, and one was deep in Redskin territory. Ultimately, though, he came up big when it counted most, and that’s all that really matters.

That gave the Giants a 27-23 win over their NFC East rivals, after a week of back and forth jawing. Ed Valentine from SB Nation’s Giants blog breaks down the win in a video recap from SB Nation studios. Check it out above and be sure to subscribe to SB Nation’s YouTube channel.

Victor Cruz caught a 77-yard touchdown pass from Manning to take a 27-23 lead, on just the second play after falling behind in the final two minutes.

The Redskins turned the ball over four times on Sunday after entering the game with only five turnovers on the season.

Cruz got behind the defense, despite the fact that plenty of Redskins defensive backs were in the area. Once he caught the pass, no Redskin was able to chase him down as he went all the way to the end zone.

The catch gave Cruz a final stat line of seven catches for 131 yards and the touchdown. Manning, meanwhile, finished with 337 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, furthering his reputation as a clutch quarterback.

(None. A fumble by Moss ends it. This game is fast.)

Oh, I get it his name is Ah-mad. Haha I didn’t even notice that before. So why is he upset with Uncle Coughlin? Well, presumably it was because Bradshaw didn’t get a touch inside the redzone. But that’s not true. Sources close to the situation are indicating Bradshaw went out of town recently and needed someone to watch his cats for the weekend. He asked Coughlin, who of course said yes because if you say no to your friend about something like watching the cats, you’re not a very good friend even though it’s super annoying and not fun at all.

But I guess the water bowl was empty and the cats were meowing a whole bunch when Ahmad got home. So Tom totally thought he could get away with going over there once and filling up the bowls then not coming back because cats are pretty much the most set it and forget it animal ever. So Bradshaw was all mad and stuff, naturally, because he asked his friend to help him out and he lied.

First up is Tolbert:

And now JPP:

Losing Fletcher has repercussions far beyond his production. His leadership that will be missed even more than his dominant defense. He was on pace for one of the best years in his career, already amassing 54 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble and five passes defended in six games. Fletcher may not be the Redskins’ highlight reel player, but he’s their most reliable defensive player. Any loss, no matter how short, is a concern.

No further updates have been released at this time, but it’s hard to imagine one of the NFL’s iron men will miss any significant time. Fletcher has started every game he’s played in since 2000.

I am no lip reader, so I’m going to guess about some of the things Santana Moss said to the nice cameraman or woman:

I would like to see that fish tank. I bet there are lots of colorful ones in there. What do you think Santana Moss said?

Bradshaw has been very productive since returning from injury earlier this month. Over his last two games, he has 316 yards rushing and two touchdowns off 57 carries. He also has five receptions for 33 yards.

All week, Bradshaw had been battling a foot injury that forced him to be limited in practice Thursday and miss Friday. However, it seems the Giants’ leading rusher was held out so he could play against the division rival today.

Things started off very promising for the Redskins’ No. 1 receiver, but he has had his whole season thrown off with this foot injury.

No other Redskins receiver is worth starting in anything but very deep leagues.

Bradshaw returned to practice Thursday after being held out Wednesday, but was against held out of practice again on Friday. He was listed as questionable heading into the weekend.

The biggest worry for fantasy owners should be whether Bradshaw will be limited at all during the game. He could benefit from the extra rest, however. Bradshaw has played through pain before, and gave owners every reason to start him as at least an RB2 going forward after rushing for 316 yards over his last two outings.
