 Eli Manning and the Giants will have a tough task on Sunday against the 49ers. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson)It’s OctoberSince 2006, the New York Giants have won 20 games in the month of October.  The Giants not only seem to start their games slowly and play catch up, but they seem to need to find their rhythm throughout the month of September before they round into form in October.  Then, of course, they fall off in November, just to turn it on again when it really counts.  You can say that a typical Giants season is full of extreme ups and downs.  For confirmation, just monitor the monthly blood pressure of the average Big Blue fan and you’ll notice a big improvement from March to July (or right before the first big injury of training camp).  Whatever it is about this month, Tom Coughlin can always count on his team playing well.Ahmad Bradshaw is Ticked OffJason-Pierre Paul this and Justin Tuck that.  I am always hearing about the nasty and ferocious defensive line of the New York Gia...

New York Giants Monday morning hangover: plenty to nitpick after 41-27 victory over Browns

Yes, the New York Giants beat Trent Richardson and the Cleveland Browns in what turned out to be sort of a blowout yesterday, a 41-27 victory that featured great games from Ahmad Bradshaw, Eli Manning, Victor Cruz and Reuben Randle. And sure, it elevates the team into a tie with the Philadelphia Eagles for the NFC East division lead. But let's be honest, the Giants have beaten...

Giants can't allow 49ers to get to Manning again

The NFC title game was the low point for the New York Giants' offensive line last season. While Tom Coughlin's team won the contest and went on to win the Super Bowl, most of the linemen recall it was the game they let quarterback Eli Manning down, literally. Manning was sacked six times and hit six other times in the 20-17 overtime victory. Walking off the field, the leader...

Report: 49ers' Jacobs disappointed he hasn't played

Thus was the case in the Giants 41-27 defeat of the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. At least five records were either tied or broken at Met Life Stadium on a rainy & chilly October afternoon. Here are some of the more interesting stats that we were...

Champion Giants just not the same on defense

Eli Manning has shown the New York Giants can score with anybody. It's the defending Super Bowl champions' defense that is playing catch-up heading into Sunday's NFL championship rematch against the San Francisco 49ers (4-1). Perry Fewell's unit has been very inconsistent. Take Sunday's 41-27 win over the Cleveland Browns. The defense allowed touchdowns on...

Brandon Jacobs no longer upset with the 49ers

San Francisco 49ers running back Brandon Jacobs was frustrated with his team yesterday.On Thursday, Jacobs sounded like a new man after talking things over with 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh.“I spoke to Coach Harbaugh a couple times the last couple days,” Jacobs said, via the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat. “We ironed it out. We got it done. I understand where Coach is coming from...

Eagles better on defense, but can't sack the QB

Eli Manning didn't get dirty and Ben Roethlisberger never went down against the Eagles the past two weeks. Playing quarterback seems like a safe job for Philadelphia's opponents. Those ferocious pass rushers aren't producing sacks the way they're used to, but the Eagles (3-2) are getting results on the scoreboard anyway. ''The bottom line for our defense...

Jacobs, Harbaugh meet to discuss back's health

The last time a player disputed San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh's judgment about the player's readiness for action, Harbaugh cut him. That was last year, when wide receiver Braylon Edwards never fully came back from knee and shoulder injuries. Edwards suggested he'd miss a game or two, but instead of telling Harbaugh, he told the media. Harbaugh eventually released...

The fleet wide receiver is happy in his new home with the San Francisco 49ers, another championship contender that's making better use of Manningham than the Giants ever did. It's a different situation for...
