The night before: How are we feeling?

That's the Coughln era.. We will either come out firing on all cylinders or flat and blow. Usually in situationslike this we come out flat, hate to say it but it's true.

Other than that though, hopefully my prediction of the Pats game and a confirmed boost like 2007 comes true. If it does and by the looks of it we will be getting healthy over the next few weeks barring any more injuries we could make a run. Tomorrow game will tell us the mentality of this though

had posted. Everytime they did, it guaranteed a Giants victory..haha

LOL that is true, I've yet to see him post. Getting worried now...

Seriously, I want this win badly. I'm feeling good about Eli's chances against DC's secondary and hope the Giants feed ODB all day long and utilize Vereen to the fullest extent.

I think the Giants have the edge with talent and coaching and hell, they had an extra week to prepare for Jay freaking Gruden. They can match wits with Belichick, they had better school Gruden.

I have a hunch we win big. They will fight early and we will pull away in the second half. This is a much better team than most think. They will be rested and focused and will take control of the division tomorrow.

everything went right so far but the Giants have trouble with prosperity

This^^^ is so patently incorrect it's laughable. It is strictly through the eyes of a fan (all of us) that "live or die" with each win or each loss that one could even dream up the idea that

Any reasonably objective view of the Giants under TC would observe that among the greatest attributes of TC coached teams is that emotionally, the team almost always comes to play with a good effort. The vicissitude described above is a fantasy engendered by our emotions not what actually happens game to game under TC. Typically the team is well prepared mentally and emotionally entering almost all games - and particularly crucial games like today's.

In fact I don't mean to pick on Shockwave and just singled out his post because I think it's well representative of "feelings" that we all get at times as fans, that simply don't reflect the truth of what we've seen from TC coached teams over the years.

Having made that point, my "feeling" about this game is nervousness about starting an OL that is minus our two best and most consistent OL players this year: Pugh and Richburg, vs a team with a pretty good pass rush. Someone else above mentioned Vereen, and my "feeling" is that Vereen will need to have a big game vs the 'Skins to keep our O humming with a lot of short completions that generate good YAC with Eli most likely looking to get the ball out of his hands even more quickly than typical so far this year. Vereen's running will be crucial too.

McAdoo will have a plan to counter the Giants' weakness up front on O minus Pugh and Richburg. Can we execute it? We need our receiving weapons to have sticky hands and some shake n bake in them today, as much as we ever have.

'Skins O generating a lot of points vs our D. Not if Brinkley continues to play well as a run stuffing Mike, and not if Prince is fully 100% back as our #2 CB. I am not all that worried about the Skin's offensive skills players, mostly because Cousins is at best a mediocre QB at the NFL level. Get some pressure on him, and he becomes very shaky. I expect we will do that with JPP back and fresh legs all over the D post the bye.

The Giants have lost pretty much every "big" game they've played since the last SB (for whatever reason they were "big" at the time they played them). This specific season has been full of dick punch losses and them coming up short when it mattered most.

They've owned Washington lately, but losing to their bitch with the division there for the taking would fit this season's MO perfectly, unfortunately.

The 2 best players on the field. If JPPs good that becomes the 3 best.

I think Odell has a game that reminds us what a freak he is, I think we win and Control the division. Our D needs to be strong up the middle.

I hope for this:

I honestly feel like it could go either way. Probably because you never know what you're going to get from these Giants. All I know is that it will be a close game throughout. Hopefully the Giants can finish the Skins off.

I actually felt really confident before the last Dallas and Tampa Bay games. This one... not quite that confident. I wouldn't describe it as a negative feeling either though.

We have a tough game ahead of us today. Just figure out a way to win and let's run away with this division

Let's Go Giants!

Thanks Matt!! Yes it's a guarantee now..Giant win! Whoop hooo!!!

All week, mostly because defense looked good last game. Although Devon above put a damper on my enthusiasm because his post is absolutely true.

But this is a different Giants team and hopefully will begin to win big games again.

I believe if they win today they start a run that gets them the NFC East title with 10 wins.

...Giants will show up; play hard; and be in it till the end.

But whether the end is a win or a loss is anyone's guess.

Given that this IS the Redskins entire season in front of their hometown fans, the edge has to go to them IMO.

Redskins 24
New York Giants 21
