The Giants beat the Redskins
The Giants didn't look too sharp in the third quarter but played close to a complete game and beat the Redskins. On offense, it was all Tiki Barber. Gilbride did his job and kept getting the ball in Tiki's hands. 234 yards and 3 TDs says the strategy worked. Manning didn't do much at all unfortunately. 12 of 26 explains why many Giants drives stalled. 101 yards is less that Tiki's 2 long TD runs. At least he threw a TD and no interceptions.
On defense, the Giants had a nice first half although they did give up a TD on a trick play where Sam Madison had a great shot at the ball and let Sntana Moss beat him to it. In the second half the defense started giving up a lot of yards and points. so it looked like the Redskins would come back to win it. In the end they got the job done though it certainly wasn't pretty.
Happy New Year everyone!

the word of the day against philadelphia is going to be 'aggressive.' they're going to need to fight fire with fire - send the blitz on one out of every three downs and mix up the packages, the same way johnson does with the eagles.
