The word for last week’s game was “supremacy” and as the New York Giants learned the New Orleans Saints are the supreme team in the NFC possibly the league. Last week’s clobbering left the Giants to deal with the reality of being just a good team, with a lot to prove as they look to redeem themselves Sunday night against the Arizona Cardinals.

New York Giants inactives: CB Aaron Ross, OT Adam Koets, DL Chris Canty, RB Gartrell Johnson, OT Kareem McKenzie, LB Michael Boley, WR Ramses Barden, WR Sinorice Moss

Arizona Cardinals inactives: OG Brandon Keith, QB Brian St. Pierre, TE Dominique Byrd, WR Early Doucet, OT Herman Johnson, FS Rashad Johnson, LB Reggie Walker, TE Stephen Spach.

Live blogging begins at kickoff, game starts at 8:20 pm:

8:24 EST: *taps foot* waits for kickoff.

8:25 EST: Listening to Cris Collinsworth is like sticking with myself with a safety pin over and over in MY EYE!

8:25 EST: I’m going to need for Brandon Jacobs to step up and have a good game. Please in the name of all that is holy Jacobs this is week 7 STAND UP!

8:29 EST: I’m mad Antonio’s earrings are nicer than mine. Just saying.

8:35 EST: Tuck forces the fumble on Hightower. Play is challenged by Coughlin and overturned. Giants ball.

8:37 EST: Ball at the 27 for the Giants. Manning completes to Manningham for 8 yards.

8:38 EST: Manning throws incomplete to Hedgecock. SMH sometimes I really don’t know about the play-calling of Gilbride.

8:41 EST: And the Giants waste their first opportunity given to them from the defense. Why am I not surprised.

8:44 EST: Cardinals ball at the 15 yard line.

8:46 EST: Cardinals go 3 and out. Giants ball.

8:47 EST: Brandon Jacobs just got shoe string tackled by the Cardinals.

8:50 EST: Eli Manning is intercepted by Rogers-Cromartie in the endzone for the touchback. Hixon the intended receiver.

8:51 EST: I have no clue why Hixon isn’t JUST returning kicks. He is not a good WR and now for the second week he is being used in situations where he shouldn’t even be on the field.

8:53 EST: Giants playing absolutely terribly right now…it’s like a continuation from last week.

8:59 EST: Eli needs to get his accuracy in check and connects on some of these passes.

9:00 EST: This is the #1 rush defense in the league, PASS THE BALL!

9:01 EST: This offense is truly driving me crazy right now.

9:04 EST: Beautiful back shoulder throw to Manningham. That was a chemistry throw from Manning to Manningham.

9:05 EST: Manning rushes for 4 yards and boy was it ugly.

9:07 EST: Giants offense shut out in the first quarter…unbelievable! This team is not the same team week 1-5.

9:13 EST: Great play by Tuck again. Tuck is all over the field.

9:08 EST: Giants punt. Cardinals ball at the 11 yard line.

9:09 EST: Beanie Wells with a 13 yard carry right up the middle of the Giants defense.

END OF THE FIRST QUARTER

9:14 EST: Terrell Thomas intercepts Kurt Warner. Returned for 16 yards.

9:15 EST: TD Jacobs! Giants 7 - Cardinals 0

9:18 EST: Danny Clark read that perfectly but couldn’t wrap up on the play.

9:22 EST: Kevin Dockery bone-headed play! Avoided a colossal mistake.

9:24 EST: Loved that receiver montage from NBC.

9:26 EST: Manning you can NOT take a sack in that situation. Unfreaking real!

9:27 EST: Nothing comes easy when you’re a Giants fan. Feagles punts off the side of his foot for 27 yards. Cardinals ball at mid field. SMH!

9:40 EST: This game is going to kill me tonight.

9:41 EST: And this is what happens when your offense SUCKS! Thanks NYG!

9:46 EST: Hakeem Nicks is a freaking BEAST! Way to stay aware and make plays. Love this guy!

9:50 EST: Why can’t the Giants secondary contain. Why?!

9:56 EST: Rackers kick is good. Giants 14 - Cardinals 10

I’m going to need the Giants to get it together and win this game. It should not be this difficult people.

START OF THIRD QUARTER

10:13 EST: Giants set to receive to start the half.

10:13 EST: Manning make something happen.

10:14 EST: No catches for Steve Smith in this game. SMH!

10:15 EST: Another 3 and out by the sucky offense. Way to expose the 31st ranked pass defense Eli. You are not separating yourself as an elite QB with performances like this.

10:18 EST: Thank you Al Michaels for that trip down Manning, Rivers, Coughlin & Warner memory lane. I’m sure no one watching was aware.

10:20 EST: Um Beanie…what was that?!

10:20 EST: Our secondary is absolutely horrific! Just terrible!

10:21 EST: Putrid defense…absolutely PUTRID.

10:24 EST: TD Cardinals! Giants really suck right now! Way to respond to last weeks debacle NEW YORK!Giants 14 - Cardinals 17

10:26 EST: Cardinals march right down the field and score like it’s nothing. So sick of this team right now.

10:28 EST: And down goes Manning. Manning is getting played by the Cardinals defense. Just play ball Manning stop trying to create things.

10:30 EST: Two consecutive 3 and outs for the Giants and another terrible punt from Feagles. WTF is wrong with this team?

10:42 EST: Manning is intercepted AGAIN! This team is garbage…plain and simple!

10:45 EST: TD Cardinals Thank you Eli Manning and NYG! YOU OFFICIALLY SUCK!

Cardinals 24 - Giants 14

11:08 EST: Tynes FG is good Giants 17 - Cardinals 24
