8.  I wondered how the receivers would perform now that most are experienced, having spent at least a year in the offense.  It seems Cole is still our best WR.  He had the one deep passing play to him early.  he got open on another play on a post, but Bortles threw elsewhere incomplete.  Westbrook had some decent short catches that extended some drives.  While Moncrief had one catch, the abiding sense i got watching him was one of disappointment.  He seemed useless on jump balls/contested passes.  ASJ had a TD negated by a penalty, but he had a couple of catches and looked like he could become a contributor in the passing game.

5. If we are going to be honest then we should also say that Manning missed OBJ on two TDs in the endzone in which he beat Ramsey. Wide open plays, Manning just completely missed. They make those plays, we lose the game. Ramsey lost this matchup IMO. That being said... Ramsey was spot on accurate! OBJ makes Manning and it's not even an argument. Living in the area I know many Giants fans... lets just say they are VERY discouraged by Manning's performance today. 

8. I realize he didn't play last season, but wow are we going to miss AROB this season. Last season was unexpected, but this season Moncrief was signed to be his replacement. He is supposed to be our big receiver/jump ball guy. Moncrief couldn't hold AROB's jock. Will need Chark to learn in a hurry. Watching the Bears/Packers... AROB looks just like he did pre injury. Really sucks we let him go. Cringing watching Arob right now in a Bears uni.
