PrintHere are some numbers for the New York Giants when it comes to playoff performance, courtesy of the illustrious Giants PR department.
- The Giants have played 45 postseason games in their history and Manning's 72-yard touchdown pass to Hakeem Nicks was only the second play longer than 70 yards. The other was Scott Brunner's 72-yard pass to Earnest Gray at San Francisco on Jan. 3, 1982. The longest run in Giants' postseason history was Rodney Hampton's 51-yarder vs. Minnesota on Jan. 9, 1994.
- Against the Falcons, Manning completed 71.9 percent of his passes (23-of-32). That increased his career postseason completion percentage to 60.44, which moved him past Kerry Collins (60.0) and into first place on the Giants' list. Manning has completed 136-of-225 postseason passes.
- Manning has 1,574 postseason passing yards and needs 106 to pass Simms' team record of 1,679 ... The franchise's career postseason completions record could also fall Sunday. Manning has 136 and Simms holds the record with 157.
- Against Atlanta, Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for 63 yards on 14 carries, a 4.5-yard average. That boosted his career postseason average to a Giants-record 4.37 yards (minimum 50 attempts). Bradshaw has run for 271 yards on 62 postseason carries ... Brandon Jacobs also had 14 attempts - for 92 yards - vs. the Falcons, a 6.57-yard average that was the second-highest in Giants playoff history for a back with at least 10 carries. Joe Morris had a 6.63-yard average (24-159) vs. San Francisco on Jan. 4, 1987.
- The Giants' victory over Atlanta was the first NFL game to end in a 24-2 score since Dec. 24, 1980, when New England defeated Buffalo. It was the first 24-2 score in the 87-year history of the Giants.

Lions couldn't do much even with CJ beasting
He no doubt makes Stafford better, but not enough. They need a big upgrade on the OL.

while this article is awesome and hilarious
I can’t put all of this on Ryan. I think you can win a superblow with MR and I even think he could be a big part of the reason why. I think many forget he’s still young and while he has nice “shiny hood ornaments,” even leading up to the game, thefacoholics questioned how the OLine would hold up and while only 2 sacks, MR was ducking and running for his life any time he did more than a 3 step drop and out.
Ryan needs to improve
He didn’t help their cause. Sometimes you have to deliver the ball downfield and take a shot, I’m not sure he even tried.

Raiders fired their coach
They fire their coach often.
That was a dumb move..

I get it
They’ve decided to start from scratch, I don’t blame em, the trade for Palmer was a nightmare.

They had no choice..needed a QB
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Now they have no QB and no draft picks
Why not try to pick up Orton or someone who was actually in game shape? They overpaid cause Hollins overvalued his own ability and it backfired. Now they have to rebuild with a new GM. If Palmer had worked out, and they made the playoffs, Hollins would be in charge.

That's a good point...It was a costly acquisition...
They have a strong first team..but no depth anywhere..once they lost key starters they flamed out..So the Raiders are back to square one..Jackson was very tactful..He wanted to say a say in who they got for a GM…Mackenzie took care of that..haha

And now for your weekly Adam Rank troll post
Critics knock Tim Tebow for praying on the field, but Manning does it seemingly every time he throws. Thankfully for him, Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks are there to bail him out seemingly every time.
I support the Giants like bras support Kim Kardashian's boobs. It can be a struggle, we've had some jiggles, but we're still firm.

They let that guy write??..What an idiot...

who is Adam Rank?

yeah, I dunno who he is either
but he’s obviously just trying to get attention. I guess that pass to Ham that even Aikman couldn’t control himself over was just a wing and a prayer
I wonder if he ranks his own brain cells
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
wait a minute, so he is implying manning makes bad throws? Cause he has made some exceptional throws all season long
Tony Romo, Michael Vick, and Rex Grossman are down with JPP

Part of the sticking to your guns theory of life
Insist your initial thoughts are right and make more and more ridiculous assertions to back it up. If Eli wins another Super Bowl or two he’ll write himself out of a job.

Good way to describe that inept loser...

Here's to Eli shattering those records Sunday
Ed, are you gonna chage the record on the page margin to 10-7?

That '81 game v. SF
I think it was 24-17 late and we dropped a td in the endzone, then missed a 30 yard fg attempt on the next down and there she went. But we put a scare into SF.

I still wonder what might have been if we had hired Bill Walsh instead of Ray Perkins
Those were the two finalists, rumor was Walsh preferred SF but its hard to imagine him turning down the Giants. I still hate Ray Perkins for quitting on the Giants.

After the strike, 1983 was a disaster
I know it all worked out well with Bill, but that 3-12-1 season was such a step backward. I thought we were doomed for another long stretch of misery. I felt like Perkins left us high and dry.

cause he did
And I thank him for it. :-)

Me too we got Young and Parcell and Bill B. out of the deal...
Three years later?..Well you know..haha..Thanks Ray !!!

Just watched the game against GB on NFL Network
Damn, I am fired up. That game saw alot of bad calls, and close plays that could have changed the outcome had they clicked. Even in our weak D scheme, we pressured A-Rod and frustrated him.
We play D the way we did vs. ATL and it’s lights out. ALL IN BABY!!!!
The first meeting
That game was one of the most one sided officating I’ve ever seen and ballards obvious touchdown. We know we beat that team scoreboard doesn’t show it but u can tell by the teams reaction how they felt that we were the better team that day. Which we were sadly the refs were the packers best defense. I just hope Sunday we will look back and laugh at that week 13 game as we are on our way to the championship next sunday.

Yeah that game was a travesty..
We just need to make sure when we score points this week that an idiot wouldn’t be able to call them back..My biggest concern is what crew of fools we’ll draw for referees this week.
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
The thing that really roasted by butt..was the last 58 seconds...
Even though we had bad calls go against us we let Rodgers take them downfield in under a minute..that really sucked..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Lets not forget
The 2 big passes were a blown gamble by JWill that he barely missed intercepting and the 2nd was against Blackmon who had no business playing CB against Nelson. Dont think you’ll see Blackmon as DB on Sunday and I think JWill learned his lesson, although he came within whisker of a game ending pick.
