Title: New York Giants Week 16 Analysis
Post by BarnabyWilde on Dec 20^th, 2002, 4:55pm

Well, the Giants go themselves into a bit of a pickle this week, with the Colts in Indy. If this game was in NY, I'd have to favor the Giants, but since it is indoors...gotta go with Dungy's Colts here. I know the Giants are in a must win situation here, so they could pick up their game a bit, but the Colts need a win too.

Quarterback:
Kerry Collins was left off the Pro Bowl team for one simple reaseon: lack of touchdown passes. He still leads Favre, Vick, Johnson and all of the other NFC hurlers in yardage, but the fact that he has only thrown 14 touchdowns speaks volumes about the Giants red zone O. He should have another good day yardage wise, but I expect the running game to score this week. Collins will throw one short one to Shockey.

Collins: 280 yards, 1 td

Running backs:
Tiki also was snubbed for the Pro Bowl. He deserved to go (he is the first alternate and will more than likely end up going instead of Faulk or Ahman) more than anybody in the NFC except Duece. He has finally become the Giants best weapon. Dayne stll is a decent change of pace.

Barber: 120 yds rushing, 2 td's, 40 yds rec
Dayne: 50 yds rushing, 1td

Wide Receivers
Toomer is also having a Pro Bowl year. He has been a constant target for Collins as most of the other wr's have fallen to injury. Shockey had a great rookie season, earning him the first of many trips to Hawaii.

Toomer: 125 yds
Jones: 50 yds
Shockey: 75 yds, 1 td

FINAL SCORE: Colts 34, Giants 28

Even if the Giants do win this week, they're still going down next week. [smiley=sneaky.gif]

Good work as usual BW.

Keep in mind that the Colts quietly have the #5 defense in the league. Tiki may find it a bit rough-going on Sunday. (At least I'm hoping that is the case.)

Allright, who was that guy quarterbacking the Giants today?
366 yards and 4 touchdowns!!

And 204 yards and 3 td's for Toomer??

Where was that O all year!!

Maybe they are a playoff team after all with New Orleans losing...maybe they do have a shot!

Giants last 4 weeks.

29 points vs Titans
27 points vs Redskins
37 points vs Cowboys
44 points vs Colts

Not bad for a Giants offense. Any Giants offense.

Eagles last 4 weeks.

10 points vs Rams
27 points vs Seahawks
34 points vs Redskins
27 points vs Cowboys

I think there is a real chance vs Philly at home next week. But that's just me.

Any reason you didn't go back FIVE weeks??

Eagles
38 points vs. SF

Giants
14 points vs. Houston

Or we could go back and look at Week 7:
Eagles 17 - Giants 3.

Anyway, I imagine this will be a typical Eagles-Giants bloodbath. Hopefully the Eagles will get a win because they'll need the two weeks to heal from the game.

Who was that guy at qb? Hope he was not the one I benched in favor of Griese. [smiley=alcoholic.gif] [smiley=alcoholic.gif] [smiley=alcoholic.gif]
