The other four quarterbacks to accomplish the feat are Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Dan Marino and Drew Brees. ... Jason Pierre-Paul had 16.5 sacks this season and was voted All-Pro. ... Victor Cruz had a Giants record 1,536 receiving yards this season (third in the NFL). Cruz's 82 catches tied for the second-highest total in team history. He also had a franchise-record seven 100-yard receiving games this season. |

Well, here it is New York Giants fans. The team's first appearance in the playoffs since 2008. Seems like forever, doesn't it? Especially since fans were getting used to winning.
The Atlanta Falcons (10-6) invade East Rutherford today trying to send the Giants into the offseason. What will happen? Your guess is as good as mine. Enjoy the game and use this for your open thread.

is their other starting corner dunta robinson?
so we will be robinson on nicks? im not too familiar with atlantas defense scheme
Should be Robinson on Nicks. From what i've seen, he's their most physical corner.
To match up against our most physical WR would make sense.
That worries me

Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
Well that slightly helps
balance out the injury factor. I can’t sit here and watch any more pre-game, off to pick up my brother and some drinks for the game!
Victor Cruz is the 2011 Ahmad Bradshaw. He giveth, and he taketh away. Thankfully he is giving much more now.

My x factors for the Falcons today would be Jacquizz Rodgers and Harry Douglas matched up by Prince.
If Prince can lock him down and the LB’s can get a handle on Rogers that eliminates a sneaky part of the ATL Offense.
did prince play at all last week?
seems that he wasnt in much and rolle was our nickle
and i think people forget about MM.i dont think he was healthy last week.
he could make a big difference hopefully and along with jake. itll all come down to if our o-line can give eli protection.
Well let's do this
No turnovers, Shut down the bowling ball and play an Aggressive attacking style D we got a good shot of going to Breenbay
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Running Game is the Key
Not necessarily for this game, but if we have any further aspirations.
I firmly believe our running game COULD be better, if not for:
1) Coughlins unwillingness to settle the OL combinations. Our line simply does not have the reps as a unit yet.
2) Gilbride would rather throw. Its that simple. If Gilbride would committ more to the run, our running game would be more productive as the guys gain confidence.
My thing is, if we have any further aspirations of beating any of the real juggernauts in our division like the Saints, Pack or Niners – running and ball possession is going to have a play a big role.
Eli and co ARE capable of flat out out-scoring the Falcons….. but I don’t think they can do that to those other teams. We haven’t been good running ball, we better hurry up and LEARN to be good. I
I think if they give Jacobs the touches, he is capable of getting the job done, with Bradshaw in relief. The question is, will the coaching staff give this team the opportunity.
GO BIG BLUE!!!
Alanta avg. on the road is 3.9 per carry
We have to do better then that
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
I think it's more KG likes to run in too predictable a pattern ...
and almost exclusively between the Tackles.
I just wish he’d keep the D guessing more, run or pass.
Yes please
And more Hyno in the flat good for 6to 8 yrds at least 3 times in this games

If you lose then you won last week to basically play the Packers/Niners last year with a worse draft pick than the Cowboys. At least win one game.

I LOVE IT that Bradshaw is still ripping Holmes and the Jets.

The Falcons blog seems pretty worried that their CB Grimes is out.
This is a huge blow to the secondary, which suddenly has its work cut out for it. The Falcons need big games from the entire depth chart, and they desperately need a pass rush.
Crushing.
Ryan Miller was the true MVP. See my profile for rant.
It is a big loss but I don't get it...
They talk like the Falcons have the best pass defense in the world with him in there. They don’t.

I am a fan of Kevin Gilbride and I don't care what you say
And the apparent troll
is misrepresenting the message he got from me about his efforts here… he is continuing the classic troll trajectory (ie lying to the home base about what was said and what happened). Unimaginative trolls are so boring.
Thanks a lot, man
Zero problem with opposing fans here, obviously. Just don’t celebrate every pass play and act cocky every damn play.

Tolle just got laid on. literally. and the guy wouldnt get up. this is some bad bad bad officiating!
thats actually
perfectly legal. its what is taught to o lineman to do if the guy they are 1 on 1 blocking falls
what penalty is that?
“Laying on”?
The offensive linemen are ALLOWED to lay on their guy if they knock them down.
The resolution to this problem is DONT GET KNOCKED ON YOUR ASS
They get a great spot,
And we get an awful one!!!

See the NY Giants….
Surely someone will be on shortly to tell us why Tom Coughlin does not have any culpability for what happenend on that last drive….
not to Bradshaw, he keeps going backwards losing a few yards.
He goes -1 yard, -1 yard, 5 yards, -1 yard.
