Well, if the Giants play like this next week they're going to get scorched.

The defense is so banged up, the defensive backfield is pathetic, and maybe they'll set a record for most penalties in a playoff game.

Nice goal line stand, though!

If Norv Turner doesn't lose his job over the clock management and play calling in that last series, the Raiders must be trying to have losing seasons. That was awful. First of all, instead of using play-action and rollouts that would stop the clock, he runs and uses all his time outs. THEN, he's down by nine and has to get a field goal anyway, so he goes for it on fourth down, using the same up the middle runs the Giants have been stuffing. Good grief. Go for three roll out passes, kick the field goal, then kick off deep and use your time outs to stop the clock while the Giants have the ball. He had over three minutes left when he started that series at the goal line.

I've seen high school coaches manage a game better than that.
