It is well known the New York Giants are a good football team, arguably the best overall team in the league. While the Oakland Raiders haven't showed anything remotely resembling aprofessionalfootball team since the week 1 loss to the San Diego Chargers at home. regardless of the opponent the Raiders seem to be outmatched in all phases of the game.In fact the only bright spot for Oakland in the first half came on a punt of all things. Giants punt returner Sinorice Moss missed a catch and had the ball bounce off his helmet to be recovered by Oakland receiverJonathan Holland. Oakland thanks to the Giants missed play was now on the 15 yard line. To much disbelief they used Justin Fargas to run the ball in the red zone only to have it stripped and returned for a Touchdown.

Suddenly mercy was on our side when the officials blew the call (Surprise) and called the the runner down by forward progress. Replays clearly showed a clean strip and no whistles were heard until well after New York had possession of the ball For once the refs gave us the break. With the drive now on life support Michael Bush ran in the only Oakland points of the day.Even with a blown call and Oakland now on the board in the second quarter the score was still 28-7. Oaklands Offense had yet to show some consistency in protecting their quarterback or catching his passes.
