The opening drive of the 3rd qtr was not gargage time....
The story here was that Brees simply overwhelmed the Giants defense. Totally abused them. His mastery was complete.
Manning exploited our defense fairly methodically when he had the chance, but he couldn't do it on Brees' level, just couldnt keep up. If Manning had scored on that first drive rather than throw the end zone pick this could have been a much tighter game...we played the run passably well but got zero pressure.
If we face Rogers again and play this way, it is going to be a 52-50 game.
