Yea. The giants can't seem to get it together. The jags have controlled the game.

giants offense if looking offensively foul, stinking up the stadium.

They gotta find some other matchup to exploit.

The running game is muffed and there isn't alot of time now down 17/0 to continue running vs. passing balance kind of game.

shocky is being doubled over and under on those 3rd downs. I would imagine so is Plax.

Send out Tikki to pass catch or let him draw 2 defenders, let shockey draw his 2.

Pass to the 2nd TE or something... gotta find other matchups.

stack Shockey and Plax by running them together, that's 3-4 defenders on 1 side of the field... check down to some other receiver on the other side of the field.

I'd say that Plaxico Burress was at fault just as much as Eli was on that last pick. He totally stopped on his route.

Let's see.

1) D line barely put any pressure on DelHomme
2) Linebackers almost didn't exist and when they did they missed tackles
3) Secondary actually didn't get a chance to blow the game due to 1) and 2), but those few chances they got they were horrible

Now no to the offense:

1) O-line. What a joke. Their d-line was in our backfield most of the game. Constant pressure on Manning and Tiki
2) Burress, was I the only one that though he was running at 50% most of the game?
3) Manning was aweful today. Lost of pressure on him, but horrible throws when he had to.

4) Coaching was horrible, bad gameplan on offense, totally unprepared for what Carolina threw at them.


In the end, we were the team with the worst defense and worst o-line in the playoffs and it showed today.

Giants limped a long way w/o a lot of starters on their D.

Oh well. I'm more concerned now long term, who is Eli. His 2nd half of the yr wasn't as 'good' as his first half.

Also w/ a winning record w/ a team that still is a few players away from elite caliber, they're not gonna get too good draft picks.

Shut out at home in the playoffs... embarrassing. Fox is a good coach, as was clear today.

Giants sucked ass from what I hear. I didn't see the game, I had some more important issues to attend to.

Yes. That was painful. Panthers didn't even have to pass, they were getting 6-7 yards a carry.

It was clearly not the Giants day today. While the Giants D didn't stop us much, remember Strahan and Osi got a couple sacks of Delhomer. If the Giants offense had shown up it would have been a different game. On the other side of the ball, our running game was right-on all day with both Foster and Goings lighting it up. Our air game was decent, but our offense is built on a strong running game which showed. Defensively, my Panthers did very well, stopping that beast known as Tiki Barber. If he had gotten a grove on, we would have been looking at a closer score.

All in all, good game if you're a Panthers fan and gets us prepared for the Bears. Hopefully the same Panthers team shows up in Chicago and not the imitators that let us down a couple weeks ago...

GO PANTHERS!!!!

Giants sucked big time!

I didn't get to watch the game but i was listening to it on the radio and it's apparent that the Giants didn't show up to play. Lot of people are complaining about Manning, but I think the whole team is to blame(specially the defense).

I heard Tiki, and he threw Coughlin under the bus. Shocking for him, but he said they were outcoached.
