Week # 3 - September 26, 2011 - vs PHI (The Linc)

New York 35, Philadelphia 7

Victor Cruz scores on a 43 yard toss from Eli to make it 7-0 Jints

A 21 point outburst in the 2nd quarter made this game a blowout in the making.  Eli started the game off by going 3 and out, but made up for it on the next drive by making it a 1 and out to Victor Cruz for a 43 yard TD score.  The Eagles, who were missing starter Michael Vick, had to suffer through poor QB play from Vince Young and Kafka after "Invincable" was injured.  Hakeem Nicks caught two TD passes (15 yards and 54 yard) and Jake Ballard caught one from 26 yards out.  The Giants put the game away when Ahmad Bradshaw caught one in the flat and took it 8 yards to make it 35-7.  The fourth quarter saw many fights in the stands as Giant fans who trekked 90 miles south on the Turnpike were feeling their oats.  Security did a great job avoiding anything major.  New York played without the services of:  Osi and Manningham plus a few others.  Special thanks to Gene Couture for stepping up and hosting and playing with such late notice.
