NFL-Giants: NY Giants football news

I am pleasantly surprised. Or shocked and elated. The Giants look like a good football team again – on both sides of the ball – in the same game!

The Redskins offense had been coming alive the past few weeks but the Giants defense suddenly figured out what they need to do.

Manning was accurate, we had room to run, and the offense didn’t kill the team with turnovers.

All in all it was a beautiful day. Can we expect more of the same? Can the Giants win out? Can they get the help they need and end up with a wild card berth? Can they bring a competent defense and offense into the playoffs?

The Giants secondary has been bad. Sure we lost Kenny Phillips for the season but that doesn’t explain how lost our guys look out there. If Corey Webster and Aaron Ross don’t play I don’t think there’s much chance of our defense looking good against the Redskins.

The only thing that might save us is the Redskins offense – they have certainly had their share of issues… Having said that, the Washington offense has been improving the past 5 weeks and considering the state of our defense, they are entirely capable of smashing us. The gaints defense is going to have to toughen up and smarten up. No more getting blown up by blockers. No more missed tackles. No more missed assignments.

I do think the Giants will put up some points. manning has had a few good games recently and we have to expect that from our franchise QB so assume he has another good game. The Giants will move the ball. They’ll need to protect it better than they did vs. the Eagles of course…

Hopefully we beat the Raiders like we should and avoid any Giants drama so here is some nice Redskins drama for you: John Riggins talking about his former “Washington NFL franchise” and their new consultant, Sherm Lewis.

“I’m not sure this is the way to run a big-time professional franchise…”
