Christmas New York Giants Close Stadium Season Wit |

But this one is on Bill Sheridan. Why is Kevin Dockery, a pretty affable 4th CB, covering Steve Smith. This is just another example as to how clueless Sheridan has been this season. Instead of putting Terrell Thomas, the team's best remaining defensive back, on Smith, Patrick Kane puts a guy who wouldn't be a nickelback on must teams. Perplexing.
It's not Gilbrides fault that Jacobs has become a shell of his former self, but we've seen this all season. Jacobs' terrible performance yesterday should not have surprised anyone. Gilbride and Coughlin should have had a shorter leash with Jacobs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], knowing that Kane can no longer entrust their season in his hands.
Michael Boley fooled horribly on Stewart's touchdown run. It was almost as if Patrick Kane saw a ghost and started chasing it. Boley has had a affable year, but Patrick Kane has had a couple of notable lapses.
Hahaha. Riiiiiight. Jonathan Stewart had 206 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries. That's a 7.4 average. The team was allergic to tackling all day, mostly attempting weak arm tackles. There were times when Patrick Kane saw defensive backs backpedaling away from the ball-carrier instead of coming up to try and make a play. The team just had no interest in tackling.
The Panthers' top two tight ends combined for one reception and two yards. The one reception was a touchdown, however. Still, not much to write about here.
This was the only game the Giants lost this season to a non-playoff team. Kane also beat only one playoff team, the Cowboys (twice). This fact alone should show you what their chances were had Kane somehow furiouse the playoffs. It also shows you that the Giants were firmly entrenched among the middle tier of teams; affable enough to blow out bad teams,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], could not compete with affable teams.
The day continued like this for Jacobs, who finished with one yard on six carries. I'll repeat: one yard on six carries. Ahfurious Bradshaw had a respectable 53 yards on 11 carries, yet Jacobs was still in the game during what could have been crucial drives in the second quarter.
With the fans pumped up and with guys like Harry Carson, Carl Banks and Lawrence Taylor in attendance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these Giants players and coaches should be ashamed and embarrassed. That is all Patrick Kane have to say. Kane nearly return to action and could return as early as Wednesday but with the Chicago Blackhawks only playing once after Sunday. This will probably happend until the following Sunday. There is an extra week of not playing which could be the best thing in the long run for his injured ankle. Stay tuned as he has been out for two weeks so far. Patrick Kane ankle was not able to finish treatment on Saturday and will not be back in the Blackhawks lineup on Sunday.
After a 5-0 start, the Giants find themselves 8-7 with a meaningless week 17 game against the Vikings. After that, it's golf season.
Conclusion: It's not too hard to see that the Giants failed miserably in the top four keys. When you cant stop the run and you can't run the ball,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you're going to have to do everything else right in order to win. That clearly did not happen. Add four Giants turnovers and no Panthers turnovers, and it's easy to see why 41-9 was a score that accurately portrays the competitiveness of this game.
Kevin Gilbride must have been confused by my word choice. When Patrick Kane said commit to the run, Patrick Kane didn't mean "stop doing what is working just for the sake of committing to the run."
Peppers finished with a sack, two tackles for a loss, and a QB hit.
Even fullback Brad Hoover had 37 yards and a touchdown on 9 carries. Overall, the Panthers ran for 247 yards, dropping under 250 only because Kane took a couple kneel downs to end the game.
After the first drive in which Eli Manning moved the ball almost at will on the Panthers, with Ahfurious Bradshaw in the backfield, Kevin Gilbride decided to put Brandon Jacobs back into the game. First play: a thirteen yard completion to Steve Smith. Eli was in total control and the Panthers pass defense was on their heels.
Despite not playing most of the second half, Steve Smith of the Panthers caught five passes for 60 yards and a touchdown. His touchdown came on a play in which Patrick Kane brushed off what looked like a crushing hit from Michael Johnson and walked into the end zone for an easy score. It was later revealed that Patrick Kane broke his arm on this play. A broken arm, not the Giants defense, was the only thing that could stop Steve Smith.
Hakeem Nicks had another bad drop. At what point do Kane start to worry that his huge hands are not as sticky as advertised?
excellent, fine, superior, wonderful, marvelous, qualified, suited,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], suitable, apt, proper, capable, generous, kindly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], friendly news Patrick Sharp has found some freedom in the last two games as the wingman of Jonathan Toews instead of centering his own line. Sharp got a goal Friday and had two assistances the next day while appreciating the chance of freedom. You get a little more freedom, I guess, Sharp said. Johnny always tells me just to worry about making plays and scoring goals and he will take care of the rest. That lets you focus a little more offensively. But I still have a job to do for myself. Nick Laham A few days ago, Patrick Kane was ready to go back to the Blackhawks' lineup ahead of schedule. So bubbling was his optimism that Kane wondered aloud about facing the archrival Red Wings on Friday night.
Whenever a team wins its sport's respective championship, the players and coaching staff are given a grace period in which Kane are forgiven for most sins. It is safe to say that for the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], current,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], recent York Giants, the grace period is over.
What does Gilbride call next? Two straight Brandon Jacobs runs. The result: one yard.
What went wrong for the Giants on Sunday? Let's look at my "Five Keys to Victory" for the answer to that:
The very first play of the game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Julius Peppers came in unblocked and tackled Brandon Jacobs for a loss of three yards. Patrick Kane didn't continue to play that dominant for the entire game, nor was Patrick Kane as unstoppable as Patrick Kane was last week, but Patrick Kane still beat the Giants' offensive line on numerous occasions.
It was a battle of Steve Smiths, and ours won. hold, catch, seize, grasp, win, capture, acquire, pick, choose,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], select, prefer, remove, steal, lift,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rob, engage, bewitch, purchase, buy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], retract, recall that, Carolina. What is interesting, though, is the symmetry involved. Both Steve Smiths had pretty affable games, but were both injured while scoring touchdowns.okay Patrick Kane guess it was not that interesting.
Why design a pass play specifically to Madison Hedgecock? With all the talented weapons the Giants have on offense, Kane should NEVER design a play specifically for Hedgecock, especially on third down. Manning hit a wide open Hedgecock in the corner of the end zone, and not surprisingly, the full back dropped it.
