Eli Manning gave the opening football night of the New Meadowlands a play to remember it by, which isn’t easy to do in the preseason.
Luckily for Eli, the only lasting repercussion will be a scar.
“I feel fine. I feel normal,” Manning told the Giants’ website. “The play was my fault. We had a run play with an option to throw a fade that I thought I might try, but Brandon was coming right up the middle. Sometimes you make a mistake and you get hit in the head. It’s preseason.
“You learn from it. I’ll be back as soon as I can. It’s really not an injury. Nothing serious. I really feel like I could go back out and play right now if I had to.”
We’re really looking forward to the back pages of the tabloids on Tuesday. Headline suggestions, anyone?
Eli’s OK, yeah yeah… Let’s talk about the Victor Cruz Show.
Brandon Jacobs owes him an extra lathering in the showers after the game
“At least he didn’t shoot himself in the leg”
As normal as any superhuman with perfect football DNA would feel. I am just so glad the Jets went DOWN!
Waiter! Check please, I just got served.
Cruz’s performance lends resonance to Coughlin’s comment the day a week ago, which went something like “What do we need those other guys for? We’ve got Cruz.”
TC has been proved clairvoyant.
Per a friend of mine…
“Eli christened the field with his blood, the stadium is ours.”
haha
“Manning forgets NFL has quarters and not periods”
“Manning puts new twist on Bloody Marry’s”
“Jet crashes into upper Manninghatton”
@nflgirlie….
By superhuman w/ perfect Football DNA you mean a retard correct. Have you seen Eli Manning? Pretty sure the short bus drops him off at the stadium.
Headline suggestions. . .’Jet’s draw 1st blood in new stadium’ is a little too obvious, maybe?
Waiter! Check please, I just got served.
‘PFT Reporter Gregg Rosenthal, Raised By Wolves, Has Tail Surgically Removed’
Headlines? With the massive Manning foreheads thats too easy a cheapshot. Come on man.
“Eli’s Stunning”
“Manning That Hurt!”
“Eli’s Paintin’ the Town Red”
“Sheli Has First Period, Bleeds From Vagiant”
Eli After Dentist.

Funny, then why was it 10-10 and why after two series of jets 1st going against Giants 2nd were the jets only able to get a 1 field goal? This is why the jets will NEVER be NY’s team – the ignorant trailer trash the jets call fans are basically the domestic help of the Giants fans. The only reason the jets exist is so the Giants fans don’t have to see their gardener or garbage-men at the games. 7 Championships > 1. Giants won the Super Bowl in the 80s, 90s, and 00s. Jets haven’t even been in the Super Bowl since the 60s. 41 years and counting, losers. But, please, keep yapping. It’s all you’ve got.

——————————————————
Your D beat a Giants O-Line with 2 starters & a 4th string TE. No Steve Smith as well. Your O couldn’t move the ball in the red zone at all, and not an inch against the Giants 2nd D. The final was 31-16. Players play to win & the Giants have more depth & better coaching. You got beat, face it. Or is this going to be another season of excuses for every loss?

NJ ghost : Was it clear? The score was tied when the Giants took their first team off the field. The Jets First team offense managed only two field goals against the Giants Second team Defense HMMMMMMM
Bloody Hell

How about….” Hard Knocks” ??
You know I just hope they get the stink of the gag green fans out of the place before Sat when the true owners of the Stadium show up too see the real first game played at GIANT stadium
As for all of you who bash Eli how many SB has your team won in the past 7 years and they did Eli did what no other team could do beat the unbeaten pats
Eli will keep winning and laugh at all you experts
It’s funny that Jets fans are still talking trash. Get over yourselves already, shut up and let the play on the field speak for itself.
Giants offense was in “Cruz Control”
Go GMen!!

Now now east96street. If you’re going to make a point, be complete about it. You forgot to mention how the Giants had 12 players out — including most of their TEs.
Brandon Jacobs for president.
It was great seeing the mildly retarded Manning bleeding from that movie screen he calls a forehead.
Giants are in for a long season, you guys suck.
NFCE standings:
Cowboys 12-4
Giggles 10-6
Skins 8-8
Gints 6-10
All kidding aside, why are so many helmets flying off these days? You see it constantly..
