It was a nice uplifting 27-13 win for the Giants today to break the team out of its four-game losing streak. Eli Manning played well throwing 3 TDs. Burress had some great catches and Shockey had a headful of steam on each of his catches. And the Giants secondary actually did something that they haven't done all year long; they intercepted the QB -- multiple times. The most promising thing that came out of today's win was that the Giants didn't commit a lot of dumb penalties that we've all seen during this losing streak.All in all, I was really pleased with how well they played with their proverbial backs against the wall today against the Panthers. There's going to be some who say that the Panthers had their backup QB Chris Weinke going and it was a game that the Giants were supposed to win; my response to those people is that the Giants had
lost 4 straight games and even if the Panthers starting QB Jake Delhomme played today, there wasn't any guarantee he would perform any much better than Weinke as Delhomme hasn't played too well this season either.Today's win leads us inexplicably into showdown with huge playoff implications next week against the Eagles. Both teams are 7-6 and the winner will be in a much better playoff position then the loser will be. Not to mention within reach of a potential NFC East title, if the Cowboys lose tonight to the Saints.
Hang on for a crazy finish to this NFL regular season.
