Giants feed Tiki and win 34-28 in Washington

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Sunday 31 December 2006 at 9:20 am

The Giants decided to just give Tiki Barber the ball and let him win the game for them.  Barber was unstoppable with 234 yards rushing on 23 carries (10.4 ypc) and 3 TDs!  Brandon Jacobs also chipped in with 6 carries for 25 yards (4.2 ypc).  Eli Manning didn’t play well once again, so the Giants were real lucky to have Barber play so well.  Manning only completed 12 of 26 passes for 101 yards passing and 1 TD.  Tim Carter caught the TD pass from Manning and finished the game with 2 catches for 14 yards.

Antonio Pierce (10 tackles) and Brandon Short (9 tackles, forced fumble) led a Giants defense that didn’t play too well.  The Redskins ran the ball 29 times for 128 yards (4.4 ypc).  The Redskins completed 22 of 32 passes for 265 net yards passing.

This was a big win that could put the Giants in the playoffs at 8-8.

New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Friday 29 December 2006 at 1:15 am

The Giants have fallen on hard times as they’re only won one of their last 7 games.  It’s amazing, but they still have a chance to make the playoffs.  The Redskins have played alot better as a team after they made the switch to Jason Campbell at QB.

The Giants will likely try to keep the ball on the ground against a Redskins defense that is allowing 129.1 yards rushing per game.  Tiki Barber (1,428 yards rushing) and Brandon Jacobs (398 yards rushing) should both have good games on Saturday.  The Redskins have a very poor secondary so if the Giants establish the running game, look for Eli Manning to use alot of play action passes.  Jeremy Shockey is pretty beat up physically right now, so the Giants may prefer to chuck it deep to Plaxico Burress and Tim Carter or David Tyree.

The Redskins will also prefer to run the football.  LeDell Betts has been outstanding this season as he’s rushed for 1,062 yards (4.7 ypc), and he should have another good game.  The Giants run defense is allowing 113.5 yards per game and 4.0 yards per carry so far this season.  Look for Jason Campbell to throw alot of safe passes to TE Chris Cooley and Betts.  Also, watch for the Skins to throw over the top to Santana Moss if the Giants sneak up on defense to stop the run.

This should be a good football game.  The Giants really need this game, but they’ve played really awful lately.  I’m siding with the Redskins in this game because they’re playing better right now and they’re at home.

Giants playoff scenarios

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Thursday 28 December 2006 at 8:01 pm

The New York Giants can clinch a playoff berth with:  1) a win and clinch strength of victory tiebreaker over Green Bay  2) a win and a Green Bay loss or tie  3) a tie and Green Bay, St. Louis, Atlanta and Carolina all lose or tie  4) Green Bay, St. Louis, Atlanta and Carolina all lose.

The Giants pretty much did themselves in this season and need some help to make the playoffs, even though they don’t deserve to make it.

Giants lay an egg on Christmas Eve and get thumped 30-7 by the Saints

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Monday 25 December 2006 at 10:42 am

What a horrible thing to do to your fans on Christmas Eve in a home game!  The Giants didn’t even show up for their game yesterday.   Eli Manning was pathetic again as he only completed 9 of 25 passes for 74 yards with a TD and an INT.  Tiki Barber carried the ball 16 times for 71 yards (4.4 ypc).  Plaxico Burress caught 1 pass and it was a 55 yard TD reception.

The Giants defense was awful against the Saints.  The Saints ran the ball 53 times for 236 yards rushing (4.5 ypc).  The Saints only completed 13 of 32 passes for 123 net yards passing, but the Saints didn’t need to pass yesterday.

The Giants fell to 7-8 on the season with this loss.

New York Giants vs. New Orleans Saints

Both the Saints and Giants are coming off disappointing losses last week, the Saints lost 16-10 at home against the Redskins and the Giants fell 36-22 at home to the Eagles.

The Saints will probably come out throwing the football to open up their running game.  Drew Brees (4,240 yards passing) should find the Giants pass defense not to hard to deal with.  The Giants are allowing an average of 232.9 net yards passing per game so far this season!  Look for Marques Colston (66 rec, 1,001 yards), Devery Henderson (22.5 avg) and Terrance Copper to have good games.  Reggie Bush (84 rec, 706 yards receiving) should be able to exploit the average speed of the Giants’ linebackers.  The Saints won’t forget to run the ball because McAllister and Bush can help keep their defense off the field if they get a lead.

The Giants are going to run the ball alot at the Saints.  Tiki Barber (1,357 yards rushing) and Brandon Jacobs (398 yards rushing) should get a ton of yards against the Saints run defense which is allowing 133.9 yards per game rushing and 5.1 yards per carry so far this season.  After the Giants get the running game going and make no mistake they will….Manning will run some play-action passes with shots deep to Plaxico Burress and short to Jeremy Shockey and Tiki Barber out of the backfield.

The team that wins this game will be the one that wins the turnover battle, because these teams strengths match up with the other teams weakness.  It should be a high scoring football game.
