Re: Looking back to Week 1 (video) and discussion
That particular game against the Giants showed how ferocious the defense had become within a year after a great draft and key free agent pickups. The defense had Eli Manning under duress the whole game, forcing him to conclude the contest with a 69.9 QB rating and sacking him 4 times.
The offense was very crisp. This to me was the best day Grossman had all season. This was the only game Rex played in where he didn't throw a damn interception. He did however turn the ball over on a sack-fumble. Gaffney, Moss, F. Davis, and Chris Cooley did a wonderful job getting open underneath. The running game, although average on that day of September 11th 2011, was the only flaw in that game.
