Eli Manning says the Giants have to score more touchdowns

TEAMS: New York Giants
New_york_giants_411b
Eli Manning is taking the ‘we’re not far” route instead of thinking things on the offense need to be changed. Manning feels the Giants need to convert in the red zone and not leave points on the field. Manning came up short in his battle against RG3 and that probably doesn’t sit well with him. While he has won 2 Super Bowls, RG3 in three quarters of the season has the entire spotlight on him. Manning feels the offense wasn’t off track and that a few tweaks should get them right. Four games to go and the Giants are feeling the heat as Washington and Dallas pulled within one game and that’s too close for comfort. Manning spoke to WFAN in New York with Mike Francesa about the offense in last week’s loss, and what he thinks they can do to score more points. “That’s usually enough. That’s kinda what we say they can give. We gotta score more touchdowns; we gotta score more points. It can be frustrating because you feel like you play well afterward. You kinda say, ‘We hit big pla...

  • They need to play the way they did against the 49ers and Packers from here on out....PERIOD!!!! As a huge Giants fan it makes me sick to think about 2 games in particular this season. First of all the eagles game where all we had to do was KICK THE DAMN GAME WINNING FIELD GOAL!!!!! Instead Kevin Killdrive calls a pass to a rookie wide receiver inside the ten yard line and Barden commits offensive pass interference to move the field goal 15 yards further out. That was our WIN if Eli just changed the play at the line and handed off to Bradshaw for a safer run then we kick the game winner. The eagles absolutely SUCK and we gave them a win they never should have had. The other game that sticks in my craw was the last game against Washington, the best kicker in the game misses a FG that would have been the difference between a win and a loss,now the GMen need to do what they did last year in order to take the division. The Giants should be 9-3 but instead they've made it harder on themselves again. Please please please audible at the line when Killdrive calls a STUPID play from here on out Eli.

Former prank target now a Giants star

Via Fox Sports  |  December 06, 2012
When he enters the cold tub now at New York Giants headquarters, Prince Amukamara does so voluntarily.

Giants respect Spagnuolo defense, despite ranking

Via AP on Fox  |  December 06, 2012
The New York Giants know better than to underestimate a Steve Spagnuolo defense, even one that currently ranks at the bottom of the NFL. When the Saints' defensive coordinator was in New York, the Giants not only won a Super Bowl, but they saw how Spagnuolo could adapt when things went wrong and improve his unit over time. Giants guard Kevin Boothe says the thing he remembers...

Giants Impressed With CB Prince Amukamara's Improvement

Via GridironFans.com  |  December 08, 2012
The Giants like what they have seen from CB Prince Amukamara now more than they did even in the beginning of the season. He’s contesting the run well, tackling and, most importantly, judging deep passes far better than before. In the past, he would mistime his break, get caught looking into the backfield or interfere with receivers. Now, it appears he has far better recognition...

New Orleans Saints (5-7) at New York Giants (7-5) Earlier this week, I outlined why the Redskins should be considered the favorites to win the NFC East.

They are a game back right now, but they are almost definitely going favored in each of their last four games, while the Giants will be favored...
