Rejuvenated Giants Target Panthers

[Jeremy Igo]

After their Monday night win against a bad Dolphins team, the New York Giants fans and media are feeling like world beaters. 

First, a quick review of the Panthers vs the blundering NFC East so far this season... 

 

Philadelphia Eagles - October 25 

Philly fans - "Double Olsen, Stack the box"

Result - Panthers 27 Eagles 16

 

Washington Redskins - November 22

Redskins fans - "Double Olsen, Stack the box"

Result - Panthers 44 - Redskins 16

 

Dallas Cowboys - November 26

Cowboys fans - "Double Olsen, Stack the box"

Result - Panthers 33 Cowboys 14

 

And now here come the New York Giants... 

 

But the truth is, the Giants are not a good football team. They are an average football team with two good play makers. 

Eli Manning against the Dolphins looked good, I must admit. He was stepping into throws nicely, and got the ball out decisively. When the hot an cold Manning is on the warmer side, he is a threat. 

Odell Beckham Jr is a talent. He is basically a slightly faster Deandre Hopkins, who the Panthers faced in week 2. Hopkins was held to 5 receptions and 53 yards. 

The Giants have exactly one path to victory this week while trying to keep up with the #1 scoring offense in the NFL .... 

Move OBJ around and exploit the injuries at corner the Panthers have had. 

OBJ won't win against Josh Norman. Norman, having just shut down Julio Jones, won't have much issue with OBJ. But move OBJ into the slot, and suddenly it is Colin Jones or Cortland Finnegan covering OBJ.... not a favorable match up for the Panthers to say the least. 

The Carolina Panthers will have their hands full this week setting in place a defensive game plan. 

The Giants defense isn't much of a concern. They are currently last in the league in yards given up per game, at 418. Even worse than the New Orleans Saints... yikes. I expect the Panthers to exceed their 32 point average this game. 

In short, if the Panthers can keep OBJ in check this week, it won't be close.

Oh look, another "rejuvenated" team who is coming off a mediocre victory against a terrible Dolphins team. What could go wrong?

I watched Josh on Julio a good portion of the first half on Sunday. It's amazing to see all he does even when the ball isn't being thrown his way. OBJ is all they've got and they can't stop Cam. OBJ will need 150+ and 3 TDs for them to be in this one. Obviously not happening. 

34-13

Nothing about that team scared me last night

Let's not forget the last time we slaughtered a team 38-0. I'm sure they did.

Harris has potential for good returns. Although our special teams has been improving, he's still a thread even while not looking stellar last night.

LOL at the Daily News front page.  So typical!

A bit worried about our secondary injuries and OBJ in the slot.  But at least we've seen Cam can win a big offensive shoot out, having just done so against Brees.  So, I'm confident the Panthers got this.  But we can't let down. (so cliche... yet so true)

Is Rejuvenated the new PC way of saying delusional?

Pick 6 from Eli would be great to start the game.

Kinda like the hype around Seattle for beating an atrocious Ravens team and suddenly they are just world beaters

im sorry, if Jimmy Claussen is the QB ...well we know the rest 

Panthers might as well get used to being on top and teams bringing their best as to win is to be hated by those who don't...ask the Patriots so they need to rise to the challenge and learn to relish the hate.

speaking of hate, Rodney Harrison is a total dick

Not even close.....Seattle is a very good team.  The Giants are a bad team.

Special teams play will be "interesting" ..

[countryboi]

its always fun to play teams with hope.....................so we can rip it out and step on it. 

[Donald LaFell]

this is certainly uncharted territory, excellent WR against some below average corners
