Milestones from today

[Mr. Scot]

(info from various sources, including Panthers.com)

 

Tom Coughlin's Giants have generally gotten the best of the Panthers, but when we have beaten them, it's been memorable.

 

The Panthers beat the Giants 41-9 in the next to the last week of the 2009 season. Matt Moore was the starting QB.

 

The Panthers also blew out - and shut out - Coughlin's Giants in the Wild Card game of the 05 playoffs (in their stadium).

 

But today's 38 point margin and shutout made this game Tom Coughlin's worst loss as Giants head coach.  Not just his worst loss to the Panthers, his worst to anyone.

 

For the record, 38 points is also the largest margin of victory in Panthers history.

 

The shutout was the fifth in team history and the first since 2008 (Chiefs in week 5, 34-0).

 

Seven sacks ties a team record for most sacks in a game.  They've hit seven a few times, the last time being a year ago against Atlanta.

 

Carolina was on the wrong side of a sack record last week, but the right side this time, so two straight games with sack records one way or the other.

 

Melvin White and Robert Lester can both now say that their first interception as a pro was against one of the Manning brothers.

 

Star Lotulelei got his first professional sack on Eli, as did Kawann Short.  The first two draft picks of Dave Gettleman's GM career got their first sacks against his old team.

 

Lots of memorable stuff today :D

05 playoffs, not 04.

Short got his sack as well

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Ah yes, the 09 Giants game. I had thought that Matt Moore would have been something special, as he blew out the playoff Vikings the week earlier on SNF.

 

Of course, 2010 happened, and it was all downhill from there.

Today was a good day. Let me savor the very last minute...

[Mr. Scot]

Hardy got his first sacks of the season today too (3 total).

Personal Note: There's a manager at my job who's a rabid Giants fan.  He wears a jersey to work every Friday.

 

It's probably good he's not my direct supervisor :lol:

god what a day

[Mr. Scot]

I have been trying to remember the last time I enjoyed watching a game this much.

 

The 2008 Monday Nighter vs the Bucs is probably the last one to be this much fun.

Robert Lester actually picked off Curtis Painter not Eli. Not being a dick, just saying.

Was it just me or did Painter look especially jacked yesterday?  I didn't remember him being that big in Indy.
