Giants vs. Falcons: articles about the game
We have a few articles on how Whitfield is mad at the Falcons GM. Here's one in the Star Ledger, here's one in Newsday, here's one in the Post (which adds that Feeley is also mad at "Bitch McKay"). It seems like every other paper has one too, but let's move on.
Eli Manning faced the Falcons in his first start. He'll need his extra experience because he might need to do a lot of damage for the Giants to won this game. The Falcons defensive line is real good and their linebackers are good too so running is going to be difficult (although New Orleans was able to do it so there's still hope for Tiki Barber and Brandon Jacobs).
The Falcons are hoping too, hoping that they can get into the endzone which they haven't been very good at lately. Despite that, you've got an Atlanta paper that worships the glory of the Falcons amazing running game or something like that. Hopefully, the bye week didn't give them time to find a solution to their red zone woes.
Injury wise, Gibril Wilson is questionable because someone stepped on his toe. Sounds crazy, but apparently they knocked the toenail out. I'm sure it'll hurt but that'd be a cool place for a tattoo.
