Makes the Bills tied for the division lead. As for that game last night, the Giants looked unstoppable the first few drives. I expect big things from Jay Alford. With Umenyiora out and some other guy getting hurt last night, someone is going to have to step up and make some plays. I think Alford will get more playing time now and have a possibility of being that guy. I'm glad the season has started, it's gonna be a good one.

I've never, ever seen a defending Super Bowl Champion get less respect going in to a season than the Giants. Some "experts" aren't even picking them to make the playoffs. Credit the Redskins' defense for showing some pride in the second half, but the Giants have a formula that's tough to stop... they pound the football at you on the ground with a slew of different tailbacks, and get pressure on the quarterback with their front four alone, which lets the back seven on the defense swarm to the football. If there's one Achilles' heel on this team, it's that Osi Umenyiora's injury was the biggest of the season so far, and they can't afford another serious injury on the front of the defense.

Still pulled off an impressive first week win, though. Poor Jason Campbell made some beautiful passes at the end, desperately trying to make something happen, but those receivers just couldn't pull the ball in. Man.
