Andre Brown looks good, and Pierre-Paul, and Cruz. Hixon, Deihl, and Bradshaw hurt isn’t good. D looks good. O is moving the ball, but not scoring – like a lot of last year.

My biggest poblem is the first game when everyone gives credit to the Cowboys when it should be given to the referees. They missed three calls for the Giants that I feel would have helped them win the game. The Giants did not play up like they should have but even with that , I feel the referees lost the game for them.
