The Giants got a little revenge on Sunday, convincingly spanking the Seahawks by a score of 44-6. Coming off a bye, in which the Giants traditionally play poorly, they had to look no further than the opposing sideline for some motivation. Visits to Seattle in 2005 and ’06 are easily two of the most frustrating games in the Coughlin era. The Giants came out ready and gave Seattle a taste of their own medicine. How bad was it? Just four minutes into the third quarter, a glance at the scoreboard showed the Giants had amassed 422 total yards of offense. Complete domination. Plaxico who? (I still love ya Plax).
The Giants attacked aggressively with the pass, and featured emerging star Domenik Hixon, who got the first TD on a nifty stop-and-go from Manning from 32 yards out. Hixon helped setup another score when he blew by the Seattle secondary for a 41 yard catch. In all, Hixon caught four balls for 102 yards, and mixed in a 15 yard reverse for good measure. The running game, again, punishing. Usually when you rush for nearly the same amount of passing yards, you’re in trouble. The Giants rolled up 254 rushing yards to their 269 passing yards. Talk about balance to the extreme!!! Jacobs broke the 100 yard mark for the third time this season. Jacobs wants that new contract and is making a statement on the field.
Finally, how bad did it get? It got so bad that even Sinorice Moss scored two touchdowns!! Okay, okay. There’s another swipe by me at my newest whipping boy, the Giants’ third year WR. In the websphere of Giant blogs and message boards, Moss is either beloved or ridiculed. My browsing on Monday saw a lot of references to Moss breaking through and ready to emerge as another weapon in the Giant arsenale. Here’s a news flash: Moss scored both of his TD’s when the game was over and Seattle had given up. I thought I even saw a white flag on their sideline. With everyone healthy, Moss is the fifth, count’em fifth,  WR on this team and will not see the field unless injury ensues. Forget about five receiver sets. And if Toomer is to retire next year, Mario Mannigham will certainly be breathing down Moss’ neck for playing time. Moss is what he is right now, a good body to have for depth. Let’s not make him up to be something he isn’t.
