| Giants v Redskins - Griffin's 1st Rematch Time to start the long draw to Monday night. There are so many reasons to be excited and nervous for this game it's amazing. But the one that peaks my interest, even more than a shot at the Division title, is the fact that this is Griffin's first rematch. We know he learns from his mistakes, but can he learn from his opponents' mistakes too? Will we hear him say "They did x in the first game, so we thought we could pull that play off this time". And on the flip side, how will the Giants game plan change, now that they have seen him, and the players have a sense of his cadence and approach. Does he have any subtle tells that the DLine might pick up on. Division games are intense because of the familiarity between the opponents, this time will be no different. Then there is the "it's a big game factor". I think we all agree Griffin is showing himself to step up in big situations, and that no stage is too big. But what about the receivers, or Morris. Does Griffin's presence draw them to bigger and better plays, like it seems to be doing. And we have the 11 day off factor. Did the team rest, do they come out fresh, or do they look out of sorts vs a Giants team coming off a HUGE Sunday night win of their own? Finally some stats for your enjoyment: AccuScore puts the Giants at a 50% to 49% win (26-25) Offense Total Yards NYG 369 WSH 385 Yards Passing NYG 255 WSH 222 Yards Rushing NYG 115 WSH 163 Defense Yards Allowed NYG 367 WSH 391 Pass Yards NYG 253 WSH 301 Rush Yards NYG 114 WSH 89 Giants favored by 3, O/U 51 points Fans will be rocking, and Fed Ex will be a homefield for the first time in a long time! |

| Re: Giants v Redskins - Griffin's 1st Rematch We gave the Dwarfs all that they could handle the first time and we have a strong recent history against them. While you can't be too confident against the Dwarfs, I am relatively confident. Skins 37 little bitty men 21

| Re: Giants v Redskins - Griffin's 1st Rematch Also, I think Kai misses his first kick this week, I just hope it isn't the difference. No reason other than it's been too nice not having to worry about kicks lately. |

| This one is going to be another close game that is decided in the 4th quarter and a turnover. Hoping it is not us. Skins 31 Gmen 28

| Re: Giants v Redskins - Griffin's 1st Rematch The one thing I hate about Monday night football...1 more extra day of waiting. We haven't fared well on MNF the past few years. Last year we lost to Dallas, year before that was the mike Vick beatdown, year before that was giants with Zorn doing the same stupid play twice in a row. When the giants want to play, they're next to unbeatable. Justin tuck has already said in a conference call that the giants are going into this game as if its a playoff clincher...not good for us. And it's not that I don't think rg3 will do good this game, it's that I don't see our defense stopping Eli, nicks, Cruz, Bradshaw, and Bennett. It'll be tough and turnovers will be huge this game, more so than other games. Also this game will show us if we re good or if we're a fluke for beating two bad teams.

| Re: Giants v Redskins - Griffin's 1st Rematch Cruz says Redskins 'couple pieces away' I hate that little dancer! NFC East Blog - ESPN Bulletin board material: "They're still a couple pieces away from actually being a contender, them being in legitimate talks for playoffs and things like that," Cruz said today on a conference call. "They're still a few pieces away whether it be defensively or wherever they are missing some pieces. But I think they've definitely -- they've got to be in the conversation. They've got a good team, they play good football, they hold the ball for a long time, and they really do some good things. So I definitely put them in that conversation, for sure." |
