Game Notes:
"This wasn't the kind of game you wanted to be at the stadium to see. It started great when Corey Webster picked off Rex Grossman's first pass of the game, but went down hill for the rest of the day. The Giants didn't score their first points until there was less than a minute left in the first half and that was just a field goal to make the score 17-3. They didn't score a touchdown until there were only 33 seconds left in the game, if you were still there to see it. What you were hoping to see was the Giants keeping pace with the Cowboys, who won their game last night over Tampa Bay to give them an 8-6 record.
Now the Cowboys are in first place in the NFC East and I know Mikefan will tell you that it doesn't matter because 'if the Giants win the next two games, they will own the division title' blah blah. Well guess what? If the Cowboys win their next two games, they will own the division title. This of course works for both teams because the Giants and Cowboys play each other one more time, and guess who gets to see it all happen live? All the fans that were at the stadium to see the Giants today and weren't very happy with the level of play they got to see firsthand. If the Giants lose to the Jets on Christmas Eve and the Cowboys win their game against the Eagles, it's all over. There may not be a ton of fans showing up after their January 1st hangover just to congratulate the Cowboys on their division title victory."

Game Notes:
"Give it to the Redskins, they played a good game and you can't take that away from their effort. On the other hand, 'give the game away to the Redskins' is just what the Giants did. The defense played as their usual self, in fact they did even better. In the last three games the Giants gave up 34 or more points a game. Today they kept that down to just 23, but the offense didn't do their part. Over those same three games they had scored a minimum of at least 24 points, but came up with a measly 10 today.
It was a game of opposites as Eli Manning passed the ball 40 times, while the Redskins decided to run the ball 40 times. The Giants stayed with the ground game on only 18 plays and the Redskins limited Rex Grossman to just 24 passes. Since neither quarterback was effective - Manning threw 3 interceptions and Grossman threw 2 - you can say the Redskins made the wiser choice. They ended up having the ball for 35 minutes compared to the Giants 25. By the way, the Giants averaged 5.1 yards a carry running the ball and 6 of those 18 rushes resulted in first downs. Why didn't they go that way more considering the Redskins seemed to have Manning under a lot of pressure on each snap? Manning started 0-6 and his first completion didn't come until the second quarter and his very next was intercepted. Despite all this, the Giants still control things. If they beat the Jets and then the Cowboys in their final two games, they will win the division. Where they could take that is anyone's guess."
