Game Grades

What happened to kickoff specialist Carter? He kicked off the first 1 or 2, and then Kasay did the rest. Did Carter get hurt?

Something I forgot:

Officiating - F

So many calls to make sure the Giants won, even though they didn't need it in the end:

- Eli Manning's 4th down QB sneak LOST inches if anything, sorely blown call

- Nicks juggled that catch out of bounds, obvious in instant replay, sorely blown call

- BLATANT pass interference against the Giants in the 4th quarter, relatively unimportant because they did it again a play or two later and that wasn't what ended that drive but it did kill time off the clock running more plays, sorely blown call

- There were others that don't stick out in my mind as bad as those, and in the end the Giants had more penalties than the Panthers, but they committed many more and the instant replay calls were all backwards

Marshall -F He was just awful! The rest of the secondary were bad also except Martin.

Brayton - F 1 Tackle and no pressure.

Landri - F Dude was pushed around all game and we cut Tyler?

OL - F Gross continues to get beat and way to much pressure up the middle.

Moore - F What was up with those "lob" passes? Sure he was under pressure, but he looked like Jake today.

Lafell - F My god what is wrong with this guy?

Jarrett - C Caught 2 balls late, after the Giants went zone.

Smith - A He was the Offense today and still not scared to go across the middle.

Goodson - A Great job on KO returns and in the backfield.

LB - A Conner was a stud today and filled the middle well, Beason and Anderson played well also.

Hardy - A Why is not starting?

D LO - B OL sucked and we got away from the run way too early.

J Stew F - Looked likes he's still hurt.

Overall a sloppy effort and the Giants tried their best to lose!

[Happy Panther]

What did Lafell do today? Did he have drops?

Go away, and take your tin foil hat with you.

OL = F

Moore was beaten up, no running lanes.

[Lakejamescat]

That was embarrassing. We have got to be able to punch it in when we get inside the 20.

OL = F

Moore was beaten up, no running lanes.

I totally agree with you. Also I think that our line's endurance is better suited for running the ball more...I think they looked out of condition during some of the late pass blocking assignments.

[Lakejamescat]

The right side of our OL is vulnerable. For example in the middle of the third J Tuck was untouched and actually passed by as the tackle went to the outside LB. Even if it is drawn up that way why would you not take care of the first line of defenders before blocking the LB who is furthest from the running play? The second example is that the defense overloaded that side of the line in one instance and there was no adjustment made at the line before the play to account for it.
