why not we should have won the first game against them and should be on top of the devision if you take away some terrible defensive calls and play with the final 6-7 minutes on the board
This game hinges on the Redskins defense. They had the first game against the Giants won and they gave up a huge play to Cruz and lost. The Giants will be looking to stretch the field as much as they can. #1, they can do so and #2, it opens up the underneath routes. So, you know Eli and their offense is going to put up points, it's just a question of how many. The Redskins need to slow down on offense, get first downs, score and eat up the clock to keep the Giants offense off the field. If the Redskins can "out-time-of-possess" the Giants, they have a great chance to steal one. Regardless, it will be a good game and more importantly a meaningful game in December which the Redskins haven't had too many of over the last 20 years.
It will come down to clock management in the 4th quarter. The Redskins will call some bogus timeout for no reason using up the chance to stop the clock. The Giants will then be able to run out the clock not allowing the Redskins to score.

Redskins 51- Giants 3 Eli Manning walks off the field in the 3rd quarter crying like a little baby. RGIII has best night of season throwing for over 1400 yards.
It was a low scoring game because the Giants placed to much emphasis on trying to control the clock. Fortunately it back fired on them and the skins D made the 2 stops they are usually good for a game, at the right time.
If the two teams meet again in the playoffs i suspect it will be a shoot out.
