Maybe. “It’s amusing, everybody becomes an offensive coordinator on the sideline”, linebacker Jonathan Casillas said.

I know, it’s only two games. I don’t know! I might have scored a touchdown, I don’t know!’ It’s amusing.

Life in the National Football League can be cruel, especially if you’re the Saints.

Earlier, when it was scoreless, McAdoo went for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal, but it failed.

But somehow, these hard-luck Saints just keep finding ways to lose without being able to find that elusive complete game.

The Giants would answer with a field goal of their own in the third quarter to take a 10-3 lead.

December 7, 2008, when Kevin Dockery blocked an Eagles try and returned it 71 yards for a score. What we do in practice needs to show up in the game. They are off to a 2-0 for the first time since 2009 and are on top of the NFC East giving them a great start point for the rest of the season.

Was Jenkins surprised that the kick was blocked?

One hundred and 22 games. Manning made it a hat trick of incompetence when he was strip-sacked on the Giants’ next possession.

He earned a starting position with the Saints when the team released veteran cornerback Keenan Lewis during training camp this year. Williams was removed from the field on a head board, his neck stabilized.

Trainers from both teams tended to Williams on the ground for at least 10 minutes before strapping him to a gurney and carting him off the field. “That was scary, man”, Donnell said. I’m sure they’re going to be ready for us. “He just there. It was a bad sight to see”. He was eventually immobilized on a backboard and was taken off the field to applause from the crowd and both teams. Williams was removed from the field on a cart and taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

Everyone was left dwelling on every missed opportunity for the second week in a row. They joined season captains Eli Manning, Jonathan Casillas and Zak DeOssie.

Any injuries for the Giants?

Right tackle Zach Strief left the game in the second half and was replaced by Senio Kelemete. The Giants have options if he is unable to play for a while. He also played against the Giants last season with Tampa Bay.

He admits that the game has slowed down for him, not a big surprise given his output.

Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul says the defense is a lot better than a year ago.

“As long as we continue to understand what each other’s best roles are and what our best attributes are, and continue to do them, ” said Cruz, who had four catches for 91 yards, with his longest of 40 yards, ending in a lost fumble, ” I think the sky is the limit for us”.

It doesn’t sound like it.

“We’re here”, Jordan said. “Looking forward to it. 2-0 going into the division, playing the Redskins, it’s going to be a fun game”.
