Peyton Manning Has a Message For The New York Giants

“I really enjoy coach McAdoo”, he said. “We need to get him the ball and get him catches”.

“I’d be lying if I didn’t say his durability”, Roethlisberger said, referring to Manning’s consecutive game streak set to reach 206 against the Steelers – playoffs included – and is the third-longest in National Football League history at the position behind Brett Favre (321) and Peyton Manning (227).

A loss for either team wouldn’t be devastating, but would have an impact on their playoff chances. Of course, it would be an exercise in futility to ask one of the best quarterbacks in National Football League history to merely sit back and observe.

The Giants have had a remarkable turnaround, the biggest payoff from their relentless investment to improve their overall defense. “They don’t do a lot. You just have to limit them”. “He’s such a good quarterback that even if you do push the pocket back and get in his face, you’ve got to get him down, because if not, he can burn you”. “But we are excited about this challenge”. You have a small menu of things and you do them well. “We’re just taking it one game at a time and all that, but everybody knows the situation and the opportunity we have in front of us”. You hear about the ’83 draft class and other certain years. “If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be playing this game as long as we have”, Roethlisberger said. Other than that, a mutual respect. Win would give NY season sweep of AFC opponents for first time since 2011. “That’s an argument that would be humbling, but I think it is still too far down the road for us to have”.

“I hope I am”.

“I apologized for not getting him a catch”, said Manning, putting to rest any theories that he was ignoring the rookie in last week’s win over the Browns. And Philip’s put up some tremendous numbers in this game. “That’s just so impressive to play this game as long as he has, never missing a game, that’s so awesome, a compliment to his work ethic”.

“It’s a long time ago”. Months earlier, at the NFL Draft, Roethlisberger had thought that he, and not Manning, would be the one wearing the blue uniform in NY.

They will meet up this weekend, exchange pleasantries and continue to lead their respective teams as they have for more than a decade.

“To be a part of this great organization with the Rooney family, with the wonderful teammates I’ve had, fans and this city, which is home for me and my family, I’m truly blessed to be here”. “So I’m truly blessed to be here”. “They want to win as much as we do”.

Beckham sparked a bit of worry amongst Giants fans when he went back to the locker room early against the Browns, apparently because he re-injured his thumb. “I know I can perform better than what I’m performing, and I need to do it, and do it quick”. Then there’s McAdoo’s offense, which is 31st in rushing and one dimensional in passing, because if you can contain Beckham, what else do you have to worry about? He doesn’t appear to.

“I know that I am going to be able to touch the ball, especially next game and moving forward”. We maybe talk once or twice a week at the most. “I think the thing that’s really interesting is the way they dominated in the latter parts of the game”, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said.

“I think he’s just the complete back”. Victor Cruz and Sterling Shepard may be talented, but they are hardly worrisome if that’s the best option for Manning to go to.

While there have been running backs who are productive in the passing game before – most notably Roger Craig and LaDainian Tomlinson – Bell is a man apart.

Looking at the AFC field, Bell is easily the best feature back who can take over a playoff game. The NFL is allowing its players to wear custom-designed cleats for just Week 13 to promote their own special causes. “To me he’s the best all-around in the game”.
