Newsday reproter blog spells it out pretty well that the Gmen are in trouble!

It comes down to this: Beat the Panthers on Sunday at Giants Stadium and things will look a whole lot better than they do right now. Beat the Panthers, and the Giants get the No. 1 overall seed and a coveted bye week before the divisional playoffs.

Lose to Carolina, and things look a whole lot worse. Lose to Minnesota and see the No. 2 seed disappear, and the Giants would be looking at having to duplicate last year's remarkable feat, the only difference being that they'd at least have a home game.

The Giants couldn't have picked a worse time to be playing their worst football of the season. They have one offensive touchdown in the last two games. Eli Manning was sacked eight times by the Cowboys. The Giants were limited to 72 rushing yards.

No Jacobs. No Plaxico Burress. A banged-up offensive line. Problems, people. Problems.

Jacobs in or out, they still have problems, both their #1 and #2 recievers are out and we just have to really concentrate on their running game... With Plaxico and Tyree their only major threat is Smith who is only really at #3 reciever... I think we will be just fine, as long as we can keep pace with them on both sides of the ball and hopefully our running game is clicking early... i dont see us letting up any because of the high importance of this game...

This game can't get here soon enough. The Giants are banged up but we still have to remember they are still the defending Super Bowl champs that are coming off tough disappointing games. I am wondering will the wind play a great factor in this game. As long as we come in and pound the ball, make adjustments when needed, we will be fine. Go Panthers!

I'm usually not too worried about our run defense. We give up yards but usually not TD's, for a few exceptions (Turner). I was more worried about the Denver game and that pass offense but not against the Giants. Without Plax the Giants are close to a 1D team, focus on the run and make Eli beat you, most times he won't, most times most QB's won't without a run game. However, Ward is still a good back, and if Jacobs plays they are dangerous, but he's not 100%.

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
