This was a nightmare of Halloween-esque proportions for the Giants.

After a nice kick return, the Eagles steamed down the field and scored on a (!) Leonard Weaver 41-yard run. The Giants should not be letting Weaver score from any distance longer than three yards. On the first play of the drive, they allowed a long screen to LeSean McCoy, as if the Eagles knew the Giants were going to blitz right out of the chute.

Then, more misery: Eli Manning was picked by Asante Samuel, and a few plays later the Donovan McNabb threaded a rope into TE Brent Celek for a 13-0 lead (the extra point was blocked). It looked like the same play they ran two plays early, which also scored but was taken off the board because of a holding penalty.

Wow, what an awful start for a team trying to find itself.
