Eli Manning Throws For Over 500 Yards And Giants Beat Bucs

The performance ranked high in a few records: Manning’s 510 yards passing was the second-most in team history, just barely missing out on beating a 513-yard performance by Phil Simms in 1985, and the eighth most in NFL history. The team’s 604 yards offense was also the second-best figure in team history and most since December 3, 1950, when the team put up 609 yards.

This kind of separation should be illegal. There is no defender even close to being able to make a play on Cruz. Following the touchdown we all got a treat from the Giants’ wide receiver.

Sometimes the journey is as important as the destination, and then at other times it’s all about where you wind up. Let’s be honest, a Victor Cruz touchdown is merely a tortilla chip, a simple vehicle to bring us salsa.

It’s unclear when he suffered the ailment but it’s possible his back just acted up as he was bothered by back issues throughout the preseason.

Oh, Eli. Manning has a propensity to look great one week, then force throws off his back foot and pretend that zone coverage doesn’t exist. Unfortunately, this is one of the latter weeks.

Vincent Jackson signed a contract for a whole lot of money to play for the Buccaneers. Naturally, Tampa Bay would like to see a nice return on that investment. Plays like this help a little bit.

VJax has never caught more than 68 balls in a season, but something tells me he’ll cross that mark with ease as Josh Freeman’s primary target. There’s a good chance he’ll find paydirt a few more times this year.

Carving through the offensive line, narrowly missing his own man – here it is, dream is about to become reality. “I can’t be open, can I?” thinks Beatty as he sheepishly raises his hand for a split second, always keeping his eye on the ball ... then, oh man! You’ll get ‘em next time, Will, which might be in 10 years or so.
