Game
Notes:
"Tiki
saved his best for last. It's too bad he had his best day this week instead of
last in front of his fans, but who knows, maybe he made believers out of some
of the Redskins fans. All I know is that the Giants are in the playoffs. They
make it exciting and I'm looking forward to see how far they can take things this
season."
Game Notes:
"The
Giants proved they're good enough to put away a 5-11 team. That's not saying much
as they march (or fall) into the playoffs, assuming all the expected things actually
fall into place. The real competition starts now, and if the Giants can somehow
get past either Dallas or the Eagles and make a go
of things it will really be a storybook ending for the Giants and Tiki Barber.
It
goes like this, Giants can clinch a playoff berth with a strength of victory tiebreaker
over Green Bay if: 1. Detroit or Minnesota lose 2. Any two of the following results
occur: Arizona loss, Miami loss, San Francisco loss, Carloina win, Houston win,
Tampa Bay win.
Green Bay clinches strength of victory tiebreaker over N.Y.
Giants if: Arizona, Detroit, Miami, Minnesota and San Francisco all win and Carolina,
Houston and Tampa Bay all lose."
