Giants-Falcons: The GFB Staff Predictions

Found January 08, 2012 on Giants Football Blog:
PLAYERS: Roddy White,  Julio Jones,  Michael Turner,  Michael Boley,  Tony Gonzalez,  Jake Ballard,  Matt Ryan,  Eli Manning,  Ahmad Bradshaw,  Brandon Jacobs
TEAMS: Atlanta Falcons,  New York Giants,  New York Jets

The Giants host the Falcons in the NFC WildCard Playoffs today. Who will win…? Read on… Rich Resch: Looks like the Giants are getting healthy at the right time (I just jinxed it…get the stretcher ready), and when both of these teams are playing up to their full potential, the Giants have the slight edge. That’s no disrespect to the Falcons, who are a talented and balanced team, but I don’t think they have the upside or ability to make a deep run in these playoffs. Plus, the home-field advantage can’t hurt. No secondary matches up well with Roddy White and Julio Jones, so the pass rush will have to be ferocious once again. Stopping Michael Turner will also be key so that the D-line can focus on getting to Ryan, but the matchup I’m most excited for is Michael Boley vs. Tony Gonzalez. The Falcons’ ability to complete short and medium passes and neutralize the pass rush will decide the game….Giants win, 28-24 Kel Dansby: I may be in ...

Tom Coughlin and the Giants make all the big plays to knock off the Falcons to advance in the NFL tournament

Via Pro Sports Blogging  |  January 08, 2012
The New York Giants took on an Atlanta Falcons squad this afternoon and sent them home in convincing fashion with a 24 to 2 victory. While the score indicates a blow out, it was far from that. In fact, this game was in the balance till two huge plays in the 3rd quarter tilted the game in a big way to Big Blue. Before I get to those two plays, allow me to let you enter my random thoughts...

Still, their intensity level should be high and a letdown is not expected. - Bad start for the Giants’ offense: an incompletion and a false start on Nicks led to a three and out.
