NOTHING CAN STOP STEVE SMITHS DESIRE!

HOW BOUT THOZE CAROLINA CATS?...




Using stout defense and a strong running game - the same principles the Giants used this season year to win their first divisional title in five years - Steve Smith scored a pair of touchdowns and Carolina rattled Eli Manning into four turnovers to lead the Panthers to a 23-0 win over New York in the first round of the NFC playoffs Sunday.
Playing nearly as well as they did in their Super Bowl season two years ago, the Panthers (12-5) handed New York its first playoff shutout in 20 years.
Manning was intercepted three times, then fumbled late in the game in front of a nearly empty Giants Stadium. Tiki Barber was held to a season-low 41 yards rushing, while the Giants managed just 109 yards total offense while becoming the first home playoff team to be shut out since 1980 when the Los Angeles Rams beat Tampa Bay.
It was exactly the performance expected from a John Fox coached team. He and the Panthers seemed to be ahead of the Giants on almost every play as he marked his return to the Meadowlands, where he spent five years as their defensive coordinator before taking over in Carolina in 2002.
He installed a run-first, tough defense philosophy that worked like a charm against the Giants.
