Washington Redskins – 23, New York Giants – 10
Not quite the shocker of the Packers-Chiefs game, but this one was a bit of a surprise in its own right. Rex Grossman (185 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs) and the Redskins went into the New Meadowlands and crushed the Giants’ postseason hopes. Of course,Eli Manning’s (257 yards, 0 TDs, 3 INTs) implosion had a lot to do with that, as it became readily apparent that Eli is definitely not Peyton. If it weren’t for the Eagles, we might be talking about the Giants being the top underachieving team this year.
Jabar Gaffney (6-85) has acted like the lead receiver for about a month now, and has continued that trend even with Santana Moss (2-40, 1 TD) returning to action. Moss scored the touchdown, but Gaffney looked like the more effective option.
With Manning misfiring, his receiving crew didn’t have great games even though yardage was ok for some. Hakeem Nicks (5-73) had the best game, while Mario Manningha...

Mike Shanahan: Rex Grossman not entirely to blame for flea-flicker pick
Washington Redskins quarterback Rex Grossman threw an interception on a failed flea-flicker on the first play of Sunday’s game against the Giants. But on Monday – 24 hours removed from Washington’s 23-10 victory – coach Mike Shanahan said all the blame shouldn’t fall on Grossman.
Grossman took the snap at his own 18-yard line and handed it off to running back Roy Helu,...
Eli gives Giants edge over Sanchez, Jets
It is a Jets fan’s worst nightmare, and should be: Jets 14, Giants 10, two minutes left, Eli Manning with the ball, and the season, and very possibly two seasons, and very possibly his coach’s job, in his hands.

Amid a chorus of boos from the crowd on Sunday, the New York Giants dropped a home game to divisional foe Washington Redskins 23-10, you know have to wonder if the season is now finished for the New York Giants this season. With the loss to the Redskins, the Giants now move out of first place in the NFC East race and a trip to the playoffs now is in serious jeopardy.

Vikings hope to get right against Redskins
This week, the Vikings move from the impressively efficient style of the New Orleans Saints' offense to the ordinarily average Washington Redskins.
After Drew Brees and the Saints' passing offense lit up the Vikings for 573 total net yards, including 412 in the air, the Vikings' secondary that is looking for any glimmer of positive news should be able to find some success...

There are many narratives this year in the NFL. Which is no different from any other year. There’s always one main story the networks slam down the throats of their viewers and since there is no Brett Favre in 2011 to help shoulder the load, it seems like the narratives are lasting longer and taking up more time for the talking heads. Tim Tebow, unfortunately, is this years Brett...

Did Sunday cost the New York Giants the playoffs?
With the Dallas Cowboys winning Saturday, the G-Men had to keep pace. Fortunately the Giants were playing a weak 4-9 Redskin team…or not. The Giants only put up 10 and the Skins threw up 23. Even with the Giants having the leading passer (Eli Manning, 257 yards) and the leading rusher (Ahmad Bradshaw, 58 yards); they still tanked...

Forget this season, Bears have big issues to sort out in 2012
Whether it’s Rex Grossman for Kyle Orton or Craig Krenzel for Jonathan Quinn, a new starting quarterback usually elicits an automatic wave of enthusiasm and hope among Bears fans. But the likelihood that Josh McCown will replace Caleb Hanie for the game against the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday night is unlikely to snap anyone out of the dreadful funk surrounding this year’s...
Giants Headed for Disaster After 23-10 Loss
If the New York Giants miss the playoffs once again, they have only themselves and the Washington Redskins to blame.
Rex Grossman threw a touchdown pass and the Redskins put a major hurt on the Giants and their playoff hopes with a dominating 23-10 victory Sunday in a game in which New York showed little desire with much on the line.

In This Season of Giving, Giants Don’t Give Fans Much to Cheer About
By Jon Wagner
On the Sunday before Hanukkah and Christmas, the New York Giants inexplicably played flatter than potato pancakes and ginger bread cookies.
Yet, even more incredibly, they still control their own playoff destiny after losing for the fifth time in six games during the second half of the regular season.
Only now, there’s no more room for error, as New York (7-7) must...
