The Giants must show a willingness to engage that has only been apparent on an every-other-game basis in recent weeks.

The Giants must show a willingness to engage that has only been apparent on an every-other-game basis in recent weeks.
Where does one begin? The Giants were horrible in every facet of their 34-0 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. How bad was it? The Giants suffered their first regular-season shutout since a 24-0 defeat to Philadelphia on December 1, 1996.
The Giants failed to answer the bell as they were steamrolled by the Falcons 34-0.
Are you kidding me? So are we expected to believe Atlanta will turn the tables where San Fran and Green Bay have failed?
Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said he's probably too close to his unit to notice if its collective emotions rise.
This week the Giants go to Atlanta with a chance to do the same thing to the team that has played the best regular-season football in the NFC this year.
"I told him several times never to do that again," Tuck said Wednesday. "We're going to have another talk about not doing it."
"When you're in this spot, when you're in this position, you've got to take advantage of it because you don't know if you're going to get another chance," Manning said. "...It's tough to make it and you've got to win big games."
With three games left, the Giants (8-5) have a one-game lead in the NFC East over Washington (7-6) and Dallas (7-6). If they win their final three games, they'll win the division title for a second straight year.
The presence of an explosive return man and running back gives the Giants an element that they did not have previously, and one that they may need the rest of the way.
It's gibberish. Beyond the obvious, athletic splendor of pro football, the primary reason we watch it is the palpable, inherent danger. To deny that is to deny us.
One down, three to go – thanks to the type of performance that will get the Giants to where they want to go.
Rookie David Wilson had a breakout game, recording 327 all-purpose yards as the Giants steamrolled the Saints -- 52-57.
"Obviously it's not the situation you want to put yourself in, but that's football," Manning said. ..."It's all going to come down to, 'How do you play these next four games?'"
In some ways the rematch with the Washington Redskins turned out to be a reverse of their first meeting. The Giants will be looking hard in the mirror after this one, as they were penalized nine times for 73 yards.
"This is not real complicated. I don't know what happened in the second half. We certainly didn't come out and play," coach Tom Coughlin said.
Coach Tom Coughlin and his players have experienced the phenom known as RGIII -- and they escaped in Week 7, winning 27-23. But the Washington Redskins no longer have that element of surprise on their side.
The New York Giants present a good test case. On Monday, they become the first team to face Griffin a second time.
Victor Cruz is targeting team and personal success as his potential continues to rise.
Lessons learned in Week 7 will take on even greater significance now as the Giants will try to put a stop to RGIII.
Victor Cruz joined Mike and looked ahead to the Giants' battle with the Redskins.
It is quite startling that two teams can share a sport, a state, and even a building and still be so different, so divergent.
Eli Manning chatted about the Giants' momentous victory over the Packers with Mike Francesa on Monday.
The Giants responded to an awful game against Cincinnati by bludgeoning the Packers 38-10.
Tom Coughlin told NFL.com that Andre Brown is out for the year.
