The Giants have had two weeks to solve their numerous problems. They're going to find out whether the time off helped when they [URL="http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/preview/NFL_20061008_WAS@NYG"][COLOR=#001a79]host the Washington Redskins on Sunday[/COLOR][/URL] (1 p.m. ET, FOX) in an NFC East matchup. The Giants (1-2) had a well-timed bye last week, giving the team a chance to cool off and potentially correct the mistakes stemming from a crushing 42-30 loss to Seattle in Week 3. "I hope that's what everyone went home and thought about, and I hope they came back with that mentality," veteran cornerback Sam Madison said. "If not, it's going to be a long season. This is a divisional game, and it's definitely a big one." The Redskins have won two straight and are 2-2.
