What the Giants need to do to beat the Panthers

The Giants will find themselves in trouble if they are unable to give their passing game some breathing room. For the year, he’s thrown for 3,062 yards and 28 touchdowns to go along with a 96.9 rating.

Newton has a long way to go before being placed in the same category as Brady, a four-time Super Bowl victor. “He’s been doing it since forever”, says Panther defensive tackle K.K. Short.

“Do I expect him to pick up the middle?”

This is where things will get interesting on offense. Carolina doesn’t have a traditional No. 1 receiver, though the Panthers are deep, five receivers with at least 22 catches.

They do, however, usually beat the oddsmakers, losing four times by three points or fewer, including a 27-26 loss to the Patriots in Week 10 this season.

Quarterback Eli Manning: “He’s playing at a high level”.

Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo: “He’s a big, strong guy”.

Can anyone else make a play? Will Tye starts at tight end.

The Panthers will win, and cover the 5-point spread. Taylor played 18 snaps against Miami, the most he has played in one game in three seasons with the Giants.

The Giants defense held Elway to under 200 yards through the air while Graham tossed for 265 with the pair of scores. He leads the team with seven rushing touchdowns and has 480 rushing yards on 111 attempts. The Panthers are the better team.

“Cam is pretty deadly with the ball in his hands”, Amukamara said. The rest of the team has just 16, that’s next to last in the league.

One thing the Giants have going for them is Carolina maybe a little over confident. Forcing turnovers. The giants are 4th in the National Football League with 24 takeaways. DE Robert Ayers Jr. has three sacks in last two games….

NY was also quick to rule out the return of linebacker Devon Kennard. A pair of 7-year vets rotates in – Jonathan Casillas is second on the team in tackles, while former Gamecock Jasper Brinkley has 3 forced fumbles. “Up front offensively we’ve got our work cut out for us; their defense does a whole lot of different stuff”.

“You have to be disciplined in making him one-dimensional, try to get ahead of Carolina, make him a pocket quarterback, drop back and try to beat us that away”, cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said.

In other games, Detroit and New Orleans meet on Monday while Sunday sees Atlanta at Jacksonville and Miami at San Diego in what could be the Chargers’ farewell home game.

Coach Tom Coughlin expects an effective performance, as Cofield was in outstanding physical shape after almost a year off. “He’s their number one target; he has run after the catch ability, ability in the red zone, all of the above”. Dating back to Week 4, no team allows more fantasy points to opposing wide receivers than the Steelers.

The Panthers will need Olsen to make plenty of big plays today.

In order to stay in hot pursuit of the ever-tightening NFC East race, the New York Giants (6-7) will have to do what no other NFL’s accomplished all season. I hate you. I don’t even know you, and I hate your guts.
